Gzira 2BR Penthouse · Garden Terrace
About this apartment
Gzira 2BR Penthouse · Garden Terrace occupies the fifth floor of Gzira Residence on the courtyard side — a brand new building finished in 2026. Instead of a balcony, this penthouse has a private sheltered terrace that faces the interior courtyard. The surrounding walls provide natural shade during the afternoon, making this terrace usable even in peak Maltese summer without an umbrella.
Inside, the layout is the same two-bedroom plan as the rest of the building: open-plan living and kitchen, smart TV, sofa that converts to sleep two additional guests, air conditioning throughout, free fibre WiFi. Both bedrooms can be configured as a double or two twins.
This penthouse suits guests who want outdoor space but prefer shade and quiet over open sky and panoramic views. Think long morning coffees, reading in the afternoon, dinner on the terrace with the evening breeze. If you'd rather have an open rooftop with city views, the Rooftop Penthouse on the other side of the building is the alternative.

What guests say
"The garden terrace is why we chose this penthouse over the rooftop one. We visited in July and needed shade — the courtyard walls keep the terrace cool in the afternoon while the rooftop side is in full sun. We ate every meal outside. Perfect for families with small children."
🇫🇮Family from FinlandBooking.com
"Quiet, private, and the terrace feels like a secret garden at the top of the building. We spent three evenings reading out there after the kids went to sleep. Brand new everything, kitchen even had a coffee machine. Barbara was incredibly helpful with restaurant recommendations."

Questions guests ask about this apartment
What's the difference between this and the Rooftop Penthouse?
Same floor, same layout, same two bedrooms. The difference is the terrace: the Rooftop Penthouse faces the city with open-sky panoramic views and full sun. This Garden Terrace Penthouse faces the courtyard — it's quieter, naturally shaded in the afternoon, and more sheltered from wind. Choose the Rooftop for sunsets and views; choose this one for shade, quiet, and a protected outdoor space.
Double bed or two twins?
Both bedrooms can be set up either way. Let us know at booking or on WhatsApp before arrival — we'll have it ready for you.
Can 5 or 6 people stay here?
Yes. The sofa in the living room converts to a comfortable double bed, so the apartment sleeps up to 6. Just mention it when you book — we'll prepare extra linen and towels.
How does check-in work?
Contactless self check-in. The evening before arrival you receive a WhatsApp with the exact address, door code, lift access and WiFi password. You let yourself in whenever you arrive.
Is there parking?
On-street parking in Gzira is free. In peak season (June–September) you may need to park a street or two away. Most guests don't need a car — the ferry to Valletta and the bus network cover everything.
Can I bring a pet?
