Welcome to the Balanzone Penthouse – a hidden creative retreat above Msida
This bright and stylish two-bedroom penthouse, located high above the quiet streets of Msida, was once the private retreat of a local musician and lawyer affectionately known as Balanzone. Like the theatrical character he admired during his student years in Bologna, Balanzone sought solace in creativity, composing rock ballads that would later be played in pubs and festivals across Malta.
Now his beloved retreat is ready to welcome travellers seeking a quiet yet central base from which to explore the islands.
The penthouse is located on the 5th floor of a quiet residential neighbourhood at the top of a hill, flooded with natural light and thoughtfully designed with a sense of tranquillity.
Ideal for couples, friends or business travellers, the accommodation features:
✓ 2 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms.
✓ Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and oven.
✓ Washing machine
✓ Smart TV and high-speed Wi-Fi
✓ Air conditioning and heating in all rooms
🌅 The Terraces
Step out onto one of two sun-drenched terraces — one perfect for a quiet morning coffee, the other for a sunset barbecue dinner with panoramic views stretching from Msida Church to Ta' Sbiş Marina and the distant domes of Valletta.
