Altana

Three studios named after
what each room used to be.

Above what used to house the architecture studio, at the quiet end of the main street

Library

First floor · Fort St Elmo views · sleeps 2

A former library and meeting room — a bright studio in timber, steel and soft fabrics, with a large collection of contemporary art books and design magazines that stayed behind.

  • One queen bed
  • 30 sq. m. — private balcony
  • Shared kitchen + two terraces
Book Library

Atelier

Second floor · the old drawing room · sleeps 2

A busy architects' studio in a previous life — sea views and direct sunlight through south-facing windows and a traditional gallarija; steel and timber on the original patterned tiles.

  • One queen bed
  • 30 sq. m. — private balcony
  • Shared kitchen + two terraces

Shared spaces

Common to all three studios

The three studios share a kitchen and two terraces — the social heart of the house, where guests gather around one long table with Fort St Elmo beyond.

A day lived like
the city's already yours.

Wake slowly. Coffee while the house is still quiet.

You might — [a slow breakfast at the flat before the city wakes].

Morning at Altana
10.30

Out the door and into Valletta — the city at work three steps away.

You might — walk to [a place to visit — gallery / market / a spot you love] and [what to do there].

13.00

Lunch out — somewhere unhurried, the long Mediterranean midday.

You might — [a restaurant near there — name the dish worth ordering].

Lunch at Altana
16.00

Back to the flat. Shutters drawn, the house cool and still.

You might — [a swim, a siesta, or simply nothing at all].

Afternoon at Altana
19.30

Get ready. A glass of wine with the view as everything turns gold.

You might — stay for the golden hour, then head out for [dinner spot].

Golden hour at Altana
23.00

Home through quiet streets. The house hands you back to yourself. Sleep.
