KENN L-ISTORJA
A 500-Year-Old House of Character with Timeless Charm | Senglea, Malta
Step into history and unwind in comfort at this lovingly and beautifully preserved 500-year-old Maltese house of Character in the heart of Senglea, one of Malta’s enchanting, most picturesque and historic waterfront cities.
Nestled on a quiet street, just a 3-minute walk from the marina and waterfront promenade, this remarkable six-bedroom residence effortlessly blends centuries-old Maltese character with contemporary comfort. From its rooftop terrace overlooking the Grand Harbour and Senglea Marina to its traditional tiled floors and exposed stone walls, Kenn L-Istorja is a warm, elegant sanctuary, perfect for romantic island escapes, family holidays, or cultural retreats.
Historic Comfort Meets Modern Ease
Inside, Kenn L-Istorja offers six bedrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 10 guests, making it ideal for families or small groups. The home features two bathrooms, one en-suite and one shared, and a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, ideal for preparing meals with fresh local ingredients.
Guests will appreciate thoughtful amenities including Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a utility room with washer and dryer, providing everything needed for a relaxed and extended stay. Throughout the house, original 16th-century features are lovingly preserved, from the Maltese tile floors to the limestone walls, infusing every space with charm and authenticity.
The rooftop terrace, offering panoramic views of the Grand Harbour, is the jewel of the home, a serene spot for morning coffee, sunset wine, or stargazing under the Mediterranean sky.
Prime Location in Historic Senglea
Situated in the heart of Senglea, one of Malta’s historic Three Cities, Kenn L-Istorja is perfectly placed for exploring the island’s rich heritage and vibrant culture.
A 3-minute walk brings you to the Senglea Marina, lined with inviting cafés and waterfront restaurants.
In just 10 minutes, you can reach the Valletta ferry, offering a scenic crossing to Malta’s capital.
The nearby cities of Birgu and Bormla are easily accessible on foot, with their cobbled streets, historic forts, and local charm.
Lookout points throughout Senglea offer unforgettable views of Valletta and the Grand Harbour, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
