Set on a secluded valley within well-kept, enclosed private grounds, yet just a stone’s throw from Xlendi Bay, an idyllic seaside resort, “Dar il-Widien” affords stunning views over Xlendi valley and the surrounding village of Munxar. The house which is around three hundred years old and most probably belonged to noble local gentry, has been tastefully restored to its original style and the owner has sympathetically incorporated the original polished flagstone floors and original beams into the luxurious surroundings. The many heirlooms and antiques create a comfortable yet grand family atmosphere and are complemented by the delightful use of decorative franka stone in several rooms. The breath-taking views from the house are best enjoyed from the two terraces situated one above the other and overlook the valley which is always blooming with indigenous shrubs, blooms and the water flowing throughout the year. There are two outdoor dining areas to the house. The pool terrace is completely secluded and is set in a local marble paved area surrounded with multicoloured, flower plants. Mature olive trees planted around the perimeter of the pool terrace compliments the sun decked pool area.This charming old house is built on two levels. There is an entrance into a lovely internal courtyard which leads onto a terrace overlooking the verdant valley of Xlendi. On the right one steps into a large room with a fireplace which leads onto a large bedroom with a bathroom en suite. An ante-room furnished as another bedroom leads on to the lower terrace from where a spectacular view of the valley can be assessed. In bygone days, these rooms were used by the owners so as to welcome the more formal guests. From the inner courtyard a narrow flight of steps leads down to the wine cellar.

On the left side a balcony gives a breath taking view of the valley, the pool and the surround includes a statue of the Madonna. To the right four large rooms open onto a south facing arched veranda likewise overlooking Xlendi Valley. Two of these rooms serve as bedrooms. The biggest room which is very well furnished as a living room, with its original beams and exposed stonework, together with a stone fireplace give a homely atmosphere and hint at the ancient history of the house. Combined with the kitchen is the dining room.
