the gallery (artist's gallery suite in heart of valletta)
we have put loads of passion and attention in creating this luxury finish boutique gallery-styled apartment combining artworks, culture and comfort for those who wish to immerse themselves in an artistically personalised and contemporary experience
the gallery apartment sleeps up to maximum 4 persons (1 double bed in bedroom + 1 sofa bed in living room) It is spacious, beautifully designed and comfortable and extremely central - just an 8 minute straight walk from the bus terminal in Valletta. All the main sights are within easy walking distance with some fabulous restaurants, fine-dining or casual, all around.
there is easy direct access from the main entrance in st paul street to the gallery apartment which is on the first floor, accessible through a wide hallway and stairway, served also with a luxury lift
balconies and windows hang over the stepped strada santa lucia This is one of the most charming streets of Valletta that has attracted many a filmmaker’s eye, with Harbour views and Fort St Angelo in the distance. St Lucia Street with its Baroque statuary flanking the corners leads directly to the main Republic Street (2-mins).
this spot, just by the towering st paul’s church, particularly favours the captivating contrasts of the city’s culture, its sounds, bustle and bells – the seasonal pawlini festa in february with its vivacious street manifestations and ornate festoons is particularly unique The streets below are lively and animated with diners, jazzy cafes and outdoor bistros just on the doorstep - the old San Paolo Naufrago Wine Bar and Ta' Censu Pizzeria (certainly the best in town) with atmospheric tables down the street steps. Two doors up there is also the local family-run Il-Ġiffen for early morning coffee, breakfast and home cooking.
we are neighbour to the new victor pasmore art gallery and a stone’s throw from the refurbished valletta market (suq tal-belt), a hub of food stalls, cafes, bars and restaurants St John’s Cathedral is up the hill (2 minutes), straight through the heart of Merchant Street and Republic Street – the main cultural and shopping arteries of Valletta. A right turning takes you to Piazza Regina and the renowned Café Cordina, and a left turning takes you to the Renzo Piano Parliament Building and the iconic Piazza Tritone (5 minute walk). Malta’s main bus terminus is situated here by the Triton Fountain providing services to all areas. The sea terminal for the fast ferry services to Gozo and The Three Cities is 5 minutes from us down to the Waterfront.
