Lija Converted Town House

An imposing 140-year old townhouse located in Lija’s village core. The five-bedroom property is one of Malta’s most spectacular private homes, which has been carefully maintained by the same family for three generations. The doors open to the grand entrance, with soaring ceilings and a sweeping central stone staircase that rises to the spectacular frescoed ceilings, which have been restored to their original state painted in trompe-lóeil style, an optical illusion to the eye.
