About this apartment rental
Welcome to Balanzone’s Penthouse — 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 — composing rock ballads that later echoed through Malta’s pubs and festivals.
Now, his beloved hideaway is ready to host travellers seeking a peaceful yet central base from which to explore the islands.
🛏 The Space
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 — the space features:
✓ 2 Bedrooms + 2 Bathrooms
✓ Fully Equipped Kitchen with Dishwasher & Oven
✓ Washer
✓ Smart TV & High-Speed WiFi
✓ Air Conditioning & Heating Throughout
🌅 The Terraces
Step onto either of the two sun-soaked terraces — 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 Valletta’s distant domes.
✨ Summer Bonus:
During Malta’s vibrant festa season (typically May to September), guests are often treated to distant firework displays from neighbouring village feasts — an unforgettable, open-air spectacle right from your private terrace.
📍 The Location
Though tucked away above the town, you`re just minutes from:
✓ Public Transport & Supermarkets
✓ Marina & Waterfront Cafés
✓ Valletta, Sliema & University of Malta
Whether you`re working remotely, exploring Malta’s history, or simply recharging, Balanzone’s Penthouse offers the perfect balance of seclusion, style, and soul.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
It was a little interesting booking this stay on VRBO as there were no reviews but after a few back and forths with the property managers, we took the plunge. Thank Goodness!!!The pictures are accurate, the views are wonderful (especially when the road constriction is completed) and the apartment is phenomenal. We spent a week here and would be hard pressed to come up with a better place to reside while visiting in Valletta!
