Experience living in a typical traditional Maltese house in Valletta. Due to the way these were built hundreds of years ago, the ceiling in the bathroom can be a bit low for some people. That's because of the handcrafted Maltese ceiling slabs and wooden beams which create that cosy feeling to it. Bathroom floor to ceiling slabs: 2.1 metres. Floor to wooden beams: 1.9 metres.
It is good for guests to know that this home is a restored historic 500 year old building that shows the traditional Maltese architecture and the beauty of the exposed Maltese stone and vaulted ceilings. Due to the porous nature of Maltese globigerina limestone and the way these buildings were constructed hundreds of years ago, the honey-coloured stone walls tend to flake a little. Through the stay expect to see some tiny flakes here and there. It's part of the experience of living in an authentic Maltese townhouse in Valletta.
