WELCOME TO YOUR HOME IN MALTA.

My air-conditioned, underfloor heated, spacious 3 bedroom thirties Art Deco townhouse is the result of a 3 year loving restoration of a British Military family home in the heart of Sliema’s urban conservation zone. It's packed with original features including original stained glass windows and Maltese floor tiles that we have restored one pane and tile at a time which are unique & irreplaceable.

• The best location – The house is superbly located just a short walk to Sliema centre and the ferry to Valetta. Its also 5 minutes walk to Balluta bay and all that St Julian’s has to offer.

• Surrounded by great restaurants and bars to suit all tastes, from the best Maltese and Sicilian home cuisine to the best French bakery to the east of Paris to the best Sushi to the most amazing vegan and vegetarian food, Sliema has it all.

• The most amazing place to relax, reconnect and recharge with friends and family.

• Just a stone’s throw from the famous Sliema seafront promenade, the house opens a window into life in earlier times but is totally updated and ready for luxury 21st-century living.

• Restored for modern living this Summer, everything is brand new and sparkling clean.

• Filled with custom-made furniture, original art painted by my friend & artist Monica, and packed with fun gadgets to ensure everyone has an amazing trip.

• In total a massive 240sq metre space which welcomes friends and families or work colleagues travelling together.

Ideal for those who crave a relaxing and luxurious place to stay which is a world apart from “me too” chain hotels and disappointing holiday accommodation elsewhere.

Luxury and being eco-friendly can go together - we have made the restoration an eco-house, boosting insulation for sound & heat, as well as harvesting rainwater for toilets and solar power for piping hot water and underfloor heating plus eco air conditioning.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Sliema was the first seaside resort in Malta, where Valetta residents in the 19th century went to get a break from the city ! In the 1920’s, it developed as the British military expanded their use of Malta as a strategic base in the Med.

It was at this time that our street was built and the townhouse built. It was leased to a British officer and his family who lived there for two generations.

Now it finds itself in the heart of the urban conservation zone as Sliema looks to protect its history and heritage for future generations.

I've left a tablet in my place paced with suggestions of things to do and great places to eat.

GETTING AROUND

Everything is in walking distance in Sliema, but you can also explore using Bolt (Malta’s answer to Uber), App based and offers the best priced trips compared to traditional taxi’s.

On two wheels, NextBike offer app based bike rental from adjacent Dingly Street and you can drop or pickup bikes at a large number of stations along the seafront and through to Valetta, either pay per use or buy a daily or weekly pass during your stay.

You can rent a car from Hertz & other usual suspects from a 5-10 min walk from the house, or why not try the Car Sharing system GoTo Malta (app based) which allows you to rent an electric car by the minute.

Beautiful house in Sliema
Really enjoyed staying in Aster House. Beautiful renovation within fairly easy walking distance of everything you need. Worked very well for 2 couples. Very well setup in the kitchen and bathrooms. Very quiet area. Can't fault it and I've stayed in a lot of properties over the years. You do need to be ok with stairs as the living rooms are on the top floor - 3rd floor

The best of Malta!
The location was fantastic! A short walk to beaches, transportation, restaurants, historic sights. The amenities and comfort in the house were fantastic. The multiple levels in the house allow for time to unwind in separate spaces. Malta is a unique island and this house is equally unique and a gem.

We had a fabulous stay at this gorgeous townhouse. The architecture is stunning, combining old with new - we loved the balcony and doors and the amazing tiles. The house is immaculately styled, super clean and well-equipped - the smart controls are a very nice touch. The bedrooms were super comfy, with stylish bathrooms. Ot's a great place to hang out - we loved sitting out on the terrace. The house came with a pre-loaded tablet with excellent recommendations - really helpful to know what's in the neighbourhood. Location is great, only a few mins walk from the harbour. Definitely go to Maypoles - the pea pastry was so delicious. Highly recommend staying here. We hope to be back.

Im Aster House gelang es, die historische Bausubstanz hervorragend mit moderner Architektur zu verbinden, und sämtliche Räume wurden geschmackvoll, mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Die Fotos mögen diesem Gesamtkunstwerk kaum gerecht zu werden - man muss es erlebt haben. Wir fühlten uns sofort überaus wohl, haben bestens geschlafen (vollkommene Ruhe) und genossen die technischen Features sehr (moderne, vollständig ausgestattete Küche, Homecinema, Alexa etc.).

We had a great week in the most beautiful house.
Our stay in Beautiful Luxury Art Deco Townhouse was amazing. I haven't seen such a beautiful house before. The beauty of the house is undescribable. The equipment is also great. Everything was there a popcorn machine, a projector for Netflix evenings, a coffee machine with coffee caps, a drinking water tab, umbrellas, a barbecue (you don't even have to clean, the cleaning crew does that), etc. There are so many things provided, you won't miss anything. The whole house is connected to Alexa, so you can listen to the same music in the room downstairs as the music upstairs. The lighting concept is also great. Also the air conditioning works just great, you don't have the feeling that you get sick because it's too cold. Colin the next door neighbour is a great guy who showed us around the house on our first day and explained everything to us. We could also just ring the bell next door and ask him for advice like restaurants etc. Susan our contact was also very nice and explained everything to us beforehand through text message. So all in all we would really recommend the house, don't miss out on this gem.

Travel is life ! I love to meet people and help them discover the amazing places I am lucky enough to call home. Maybe you will do as I did in 2009 and give up your old life to make this magical place home...

When travelling, I believe that paying to stay in a place is a real treat, and when you do so the very least that you should expect is for it to be as comfortable and clean as your own home, or hopefully even better. For me, that means spaces that not only look amazing, but also cover the basics that are so often missing in Holiday Rental properties such as huge beds with fine linens and 100% blackout for a great nights sleep, plus Air Conditioning and Luxury amenities. It's these simple luxuries that I make sure to provide for my guests when I am hosting too.

Why they chose this property

Sometimes when you see a place, you know its magical and that you have to have it. That was my impression when I walked through the doors of my amazing townhouse, broken and run down by the passage of time, yet untouched by crass modernization and with the original features that were sparkling new nearly a century ago. I bought it the next day and began a 3 year struggle to bring it back to life and restore it to its former glory, respecting and preserving the past and adding a new floor with a modern kitchen and terrace and living room. Now its ready for everyone to enjoy - I know you will love it as much as I do.

What makes this property unique

Too many to even mention -

3 terraces including a roof top chill out zone
Outdoor bath in the light shaft to soak under the stars
Media Room with 2 metre projection screen and free Netflix and Xbox
Family friendly - ready for little ones, medium ones and big ones !
Smart home system makes comfortable modern living
Eco friendly - Solar power heats the water and the underfloor heating

Above all we are preserving the past of Malta and making it appropriate for 21st century luxury living at a time when others are ripping down these gems and replacing them with me too apartment blocks. Be part of celebrating the glorious history of Malta and book your stay today.
