Ground Floor
When you enter the L-shaped town house, time seems to pause: you step into another dimension. The cozy living room invites reflection, the kind of space made for meditation or for thinking about what we’ve done right in life. The old metal ceiling beams have been replaced with solid timber, and a few cracked roof stones carefully refitted.
At the core of the home rises a rare round staircase — a sculptural spiral crowned by a large skylight that floods the house with light.
At the back lies the music space, where you can play the piano or listen to your favorite vinyl records. To the right, two separate doors lead into the dining room, filled with carefully restored antiques — the kind that once gave Maltese heritage homes their unmistakable soul.
Beyond, a long and comfortable kitchen stretches along the house, fully equipped with everything you need for everyday life or quiet evenings with friends. At the far end, you’ll find a guest toilet and a doorway opening to the private yard — a peaceful retreat where you can rest in the shade when summer heat fills the island.
Above part of the kitchen there’s a storage loft, perfect for tucking away the things you don’t need every day.
First Floor for Resting
When you reach the first floor, you enter the quiet resting area of the house, where the main family bedrooms are found. To the right, the children’s bedroom features brand-new tiling and freshly plastered walls. At the far end, a professionally restored traditional Maltese balcony opens to the street — where little birds often serve as your morning alarm.
Next to it, directly above the dining room, lies the main bedroom, followed by a dressing room and a classy bathroom finished with newly crafted Maltese tiles that preserve the original spirit of the home. The bathroom opens onto a peaceful balcony overlooking the private yard below — a serene spot for morning coffee or quiet reflection.
This floor is heated by an automatic pellet boiler / fire place, with a side vent running along the staircase and another extending to the dining area below, ensuring gentle warmth throughout the house during winter times.
Second Floor for Visits
When guests visit the island — drawn by its crystal-clear waters and one-of-a-kind architecture — they often stay on the second floor of the house. This level, currently used for work, yoga, or chess games, offers two bright bedrooms comfortably accommodating four people.
Guests can relax on the balcony overlooking Victoria’s quiet yet alive street, or curl up with a book in the small reading nook above the central staircase, where light from the skylight filters gently through the house.
A new, comfortable bathroom provides everything visitors might need. Behind it stands a fully restored traditional Maltese garigor — a hand-carved limestone spiral staircase that rises gracefully to the terrace above.
Designed with versatility in mind, this floor functions as an independent living area, with provisions already in place for a future kitchenette beside the staircase.
The Magnificent Terrace
When you finally reach the rooftop terrace, your breath catches. Before you rises the Citadel, close enough to feel as if it rests in your palm. The best moments are at sunrise — when the first light touches the stone walls — and at sunset, when you can almost imagine yourself as a Maltese knight watching over the island.
The powder-coated railing, subtly inspired by the Maltese Cross, was custom-made for the house, adding a visible reference to the island’s heritage — a detail that gently reminds one to value and preserve it — while framing the view.
To one side stands the Marsalforn Jesus, and beyond that, the endless blue of the Mediterranean; on clear days, even Sicily appears on the horizon. The villages of Xagħra and Nadur seem within reach, while on the other side, the Basilica of St George, the Church of St Francis of Assisi, and the unmistakable dome of La Rotonda in Xewkija complete the skyline.
During the restoration, around 50 damaged stones were carefully replaced, preserving the structure while respecting the original fabric of the house.
During festas, the terrace becomes a front-row seat to Gozo’s spirit — fireworks bursting above, statues passing just a few meters below, the air filled with music and devotion. And of course, some evenings are best kept simple — a cold beer, a freshly grilled lampuki, and the island spread before you in quiet perfection.
A Carefully Executed Conversion
With a background in building engineering and art, the owners approached the conversion of this Victoria townhouse with careful technical analysis and deep respect for the building’s historic and traditional character. The aim was to preserve the house for future generations while improving the living environment to meet modern standards of comfort and healthy living.
The restoration focused on traditional Maltese materials and craftsmanship: limestone, timber elements, powder-coated steel railings, ceramic finishes and Maltese patterned tiles. The house features seven unique patterns of original hand-made tiles, while the interior doors, complete with hand-crafted ironwork, were carefully restored to full working condition.
Built from old, healthy and unpolluted limestone, the house retains its original stone structure (approximately 5,000 stones), which was carefully protected during the works, avoiding unnecessary cutting and damage wherever possible. The use of concrete was intentionally avoided, recognizing its reduced suitability in a highly humid island climate, with preference given to traditional breathable construction methods.
These principles allow the house to maintain a natural balance of airflow and humidity, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable interior environment.
The final result is a home that represents a carefully considered restoration, combining authentic heritage with a healthy and comfortable living environment.
