A Home in Malta

The ancient capital of Malta, Vittoriosa – also known as Birgu (village) – is a lovely town standing around a fortified harbor, right in front of La Valletta.

 

In this historical setting – which is also a lively tourist resort with quite a few renowed restaurants and wine bars – Indulgence Divine is a very special holiday home.

 

First of all, it’s not a guesthouse or a b&b, but an authentic apartment for two inside a Sixteenth century building.

What makes it so peculiar is the way it’s been restored and furnished: clear ancient stone walls, bespoke furniture and accurately chosen pieces for an injection of color, wide and bright spaces and a peaceful roof terrace.

 

In other words, a real home with a contemporary look and rich in design ideas. Not your ordinary hotel room.
