Valletta Vintage Library

Simple Elegance and Edgy Modern Style

This is a winning combination of simple elegance and edgy modern style. We like the polished mix of vintage contemporary furnishings and the warm contemporary design. The historic harbor views are stunning. This apartment shares a kitchen and two terraces with the Atelier and Gallery, also from Valletta Vintage.

Located at the seaside end of Valletta’s main street, this chic studio has been completely reinterpreted in tone, space and materials from its 18th-century roots. Renovated in 2015 by the owner and architect whose practice resides in the same building, it is one of a collection of distinctively designed properties developed and curated by the owner and his partner and highlights their love and commitment to art and modern design. 

Located on the sunny second floor, the space was formerly used as a studio by the architect who reinterpreted the space with warm wood, mutina tile finishes and fresh stylish updates. The interiors include a chic hand-picked selection of vintage decor and furnishings and an eye-catching collection of original art, as well as a library of art books and magazines.

The studio features its own breakfast nook and partial kitchenette and shares a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen and dining area overlooking the sea with the penthouse above. 

The spacious south-facing terrace or features additional dining space and breathtaking views of the historic Fort St. Elmo and harbor.

Compact but intuitively laid out and roomy, this beautifully designed studio is ideal for two and delivers on comfort, artistic style and cool design.
