A holiday home like no other


As autumn looms, there’s nothing more tempting than the prospect of a sun-drenched getaway – and spending a holiday in this grand home in Malta would be particularly dreamy. Take a look inside.

Inside A €13M Holiday Home In Malta

Palazzo dining room with embroidered dining chairs and an iron chandelier

Standing proudly in the Maltese region of Qormi – just southwest of the capital – is this imposing residence. Dating back as far as 1589, it’s believed to have been inhabited by one of the wealthy knights in Malta’s Order of the Knights of St John. With a grand central courtyard, handsome stone carvings and towering ceilings, it exhibits a dramatic sense of history; it’s even complete with a private chapel.

Courtyard with stone pillars and fruit trees

From the breathtaking entrance hallway, you can stroll through to the verdant courtyard, which is lined with fruit trees and dotted with terraces. You’ll also spot an enormous outdoor pool and an al fresco dining area.

Heading inside, you can check out the property’s five bedrooms (the master suite boasts a huge walk-in wardrobe) before exploring the reception rooms: there’s an elegant dining room with impressive arched ceilings; a sprawling living room with a marble fireplace; and a gorgeous library with a dazzling chandelier.

If it all sounds rather brilliant, it gets better: the city of Qormi isn’t only renowned for its history, but for its bread-making – it was once known as the village of bakeries. 

So, with stunning outdoor space, incredible interiors and a pretty unbeatable location, this picture-perfect palazzo really does have it all. It’s certainly enough to make anyone want to book a flight – if you’ve got a few million to spare, of course.
