History:

The house is around three hundred years old and most probably it belonged to noble local gentry. This is evidenced by the fact that in one of the upstairs rooms, which nowadays is known as "is-Sala" meaning big room, there was a chapel. In olden times, well off people used to have a private chapel in their homes where the local priest would come and celebrate daily Mass. A lovely garden complete with a swimming pool further complements this splendid property.

Moreover, there is proof that the area in which this property is situated was favoured by wealthy people so much so that in the Lunzjata Valley, which is a little distance away, there still exists a house which rumour has it was the hunting lodge of a GrandMaster of the Order of Saint John. In fact it still is known as "ld-Dar tas-Sultan" meaning the "King's House".

Price 1,291,000 euros.
