The Bedroom
Ascend the stairs from the Sitting
Room and you find yourself in the largest room in the
house with window and traditional Maltese wooden balcony
(see inset) overlooking the street.
The feeling is that of sumptuous luxury,
a queen-sized bed with large dark wood posts and a subtle
hanging Knights’ cross tapestry. Romantic and
comfortable, the attention to detail in the room’s
accessories is breathtaking.
The original artwork in the room is
a photographic interpretation of Gericault’s painting
“The Raft of the Medusa”. Measuring
almost 2 meters in width, with a cast of 12 models and
a specially built set, it features the story of the
survivors from a ship called Medusa at the moment they
spot a ship on the horizon
In the evenings settle comfortably in
the two leather armchairs and have a read of the available
books on Malta and other reading material in the niche-library.
A sound system along with a choice of Maltese and Classical
Music CDs will help create the mood.

Friggieri.

Ballads and melodious rock in this
album (in English) should interest music lovers with
different styles. There’s a beautiful track with
just piano and strings and a dance remix of one of the
tracks by Semetic Groove Foundation. Look around for
