Inside Ta' Nikola
Ta’ Nikola offers a unique and captivating indoor living experience. The living/dining room, once a cattle-pen, stable, and cowshed, retains its historic character with one-metre-thick walls and original arches, and traditional mangers – once used to feed the animals, but now purely decorative.
A cosy arrangement of a couch, armchair, and wicker ottomans around the fireplace makes the room inviting, while a 1940s wooden dining table adds a touch of timeless elegance. The kitchenette, though simple, is fully equipped for modern needs, creating a perfect balance between old-world charm and contemporary convenience.
Each of the three bedrooms in Ta’ Nikola offer guests something special. Younger family members will love the mezzanine bedroom. Set over a cave and featuring arched walls and a low ceiling, it is accessed from the living area by its own wooden staircase.
For the rest of the party, the main terrace provides access to the other two bedrooms. Both feature ensuite shower rooms, double-height ceilings with original timber beams, stone slabs, and air-conditioning. The spacious primary bedroom, with its exposed stone walls and traditional cement-tiled floors, has been tastefully decorated with crisp white linens and wooden furniture.
The triple room, covered in original flagstone and complemented by a photo art wall depicting historical images of the Maltese islands, also features a traditional wooden door that opens onto a stone balcony overlooking the quiet street.
The outdoor living space at Ta’ Nikola is a private oasis, ideal for relaxation and entertainment. The courtyard, accessible through a French door from the kitchenette, features a private pool surrounded by sun loungers and a six-seater round dining table under a cane canopy, providing a cool retreat from the summer sun.
Lush potted plants and strategically placed lamps create a warm and inviting atmosphere in the evenings, and the fantastic brick BBQ makes cooking with family and friends easy and enjoyable.
