Welcome to Balanzoneâs Penthouse â A Hidden Creative Refuge Above Msida
High above the quiet backstreets of Msida, this bright and stylish two-bedroom penthouse was once a private refuge for a local musician and lawyer affectionately known as Balanzone. Just like the theatrical character he admired during his years in Bologna, Balanzone sought solace in creativity â composing rock ballads that later echoed through Maltaâs pubs and festivals.
Now, his beloved hideaway is ready to host travellers seeking a peaceful yet central base from which to explore the islands.

Perched on the 5th floor of a quiet residential block atop a hill, the penthouse is bathed in natural light and thoughtfully designed with a sense of calm.
Ideal for couples, friends, or business travellers â the space features:
â 2 Bedrooms + 2 Bathrooms
â Fully Equipped Kitchen with Dishwasher & Oven

The Terraces
Step onto either of the two sun-soaked terraces â one perfect for quiet morning coffees, the other ideal for sunset dinners around the BBQ, with panoramic views stretching from the Msida Church to the Ta` Xbiex marina and Vallettaâs distant domes.
âš Summer Bonus:
During Maltaâs vibrant festa season (typically May to September), guests are often treated to distant firework displays from neighbouring village feasts â an unforgettable, open-air spectacle right from your private terrace.
