House of W is a C16th palazzino forming part of the former private residence of Grandmaster Alof de Wignacourt when still Captain of Valletta. Converted in 2022 following meticulous renovation, House of W now offers 5 exquisite apartments, each unique and finished to the highest standards of comfort. The original character and features of the building have been restored to blend with a mix of antique and vintage pieces, art and luxurious furnishings, offering an eclectic yet elegant ensemble.
Garigor occupies the entire top floor of House of W, and is named after the traditional spiral stone staircase which connects the upper levels of the palazzino, a protected architectural element that is synonymous with heritage buildings.
This luxurious 1/2 bedroom apartment enjoys ample light in every room as well as views of the local church dome and Valletta’s rooftops. Designed with an eclectic Mid-century flair, authentic furniture pieces and period light fittings punctuate the spacious apartment.
