Stop & stare! Isn’t this Balzan villa just jaw-droppingly beautiful?
There’s a lot to admire about it!

Maltese properties are all about the construction of apartments, with some having to knock down certain buildings to make it happen. But this gorgeous villa still stands in the quaint village of Balzan and we’re hoping no one dreams of touching it. Just look at it!

“This alluring villa makes you stop and look twice and wonder where the times of building houses in a way that showcased architectural beauty and the great skill of our masonry workers have gone,” JP from Kappa Vision shares one social media.

“This is Villa Sunrise in Triq Birbal, Balzan. And it’s still there...,” he notes. Looks who took to the comments section noted that it’s got a sister villa right next door. It’s name? You guessed it! Villa Sunset!

Others noted the beautiful masonry work of the villa that once adorned various local dwellings, as well as the beautiful crimson red apertures.
