Qormi, Converted Palazzo

Experience the grandeur of this majestic 16th-century palazzo, a historic gem surrounded by high walls and nestled within 4,000 square meters of lush gardens. Built in 1589, during Malta's era under the Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, this palatial residence is steeped in history. Legend has it that this was once the country home of a knight poised to become Grand Master. A plaque, erected by the Qormi Local Council, attests to its status as one of the oldest houses in the area.  Upon entering, a grand vaulted hallway welcomes you, leading to a spacious central courtyard. This courtyard is the heart of the palazzo, connecting to several stately rooms, each showcasing exquisite architectural details. The upper floor, featuring the impressive Sala Nobile, boasts a continuous open stone balcony that encircles the palace and an elaborate staircase. All main rooms have terraces that overlook the stunning courtyard and magical gardens, complete with a unique belvedere, orchards, groves, a swimming pool, and areas for entertaining.  Adding to the uniqueness of this property is a baroque chapel, independent servant quarters, two large original stables, a natural spring water source, and a five-car garage. This palazzo is a treasure trove of historical and architectural features, offering a rare glimpse into Malta's storied past.
