Reclaimed limestone slabs, weathered by time and nature, exhibit a character that modern materials cannot replicate. Their natural patina, subtle variations in tone, and hand-chiseled edges make them the perfect choice for pool coping. Beyond aesthetics, limestone’s inherent resistance to heat and moisture ensures that these slabs remain cool underfoot, even on the hottest days, while standing the test of time against water and weather.

Each pool space tells a unique story, and antique reclaimed limestone coping complements these narratives beautifully. The soft beige tones and weathered texture of the limestone coping blend harmoniously with lush greenery and turquoise waters, creating an atmosphere of rustic charm. In more contemporary settings, the limestone’s subtle veining and natural imperfections act as a grounding element, offering warmth and balance amidst sleek lines and modern designs. Reclaimed limestone coping creates a smooth visual transition between the pool, deck, and surrounding landscape, enhancing cohesion and flow.

Ancient Surfaces’ dedication to craftsmanship ensures that every slab is carefully selected, restored, and installed with precision. Each coping stone undergoes meticulous preparation, preserving its aged beauty while ensuring structural integrity. The attention to detail is evident in the subtle curves, smooth edges, and precise placement of each stone.

During the period that this Palazzo was built, Malta belonged to the Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, who came here in 1530 and stayed for over 200 years.

In fact, it is said that the palazzo was the country residence of one of the Knights who was next in line to succeed the Grand Master.

A plaque outside the palazzo was erected by Qormi local council testifying to its status as one of the oldest houses in the area.

A grand vaulted hallway opens onto a large central courtyard that leads to several stately rooms all with exquisite architecture.

The upper floor with its impressive Sala Nobile enjoys a continuous open stone balcony which surrounds the Palace and the elaborate staircase.

All terraces lead off the main rooms and overlook the stunning courtyard and the magical gardens, with its unique belvedere, orchards, groves, swimming pool and entertaining areas. Also complimenting this unique property is a baroque chapel, independent servant quarters, two large original stables, spring water, 10 car garage and other numerous features.

This residence exudes old world grandeur boldness and classical Romanticism and seamlessly merges it with first class comfort.
