Upon a first glance into Bermuda’s history, it is immediately evident that the country’s story was shaped by its island status and foreign rulers who set foot on its shores and chose to make it their home. Bermuda’s story started when the Spanish explorer Juan de Bermudez discovered the isles in 1503, continued with the arrival of the British and the significant events that took place thereafter and continues today with the island’s remarkable lifestyle offering.

Although situated many miles away and in a completely different region of the world, the small Mediterranean island of Malta is similar to Bermuda in many of these respects.

Malta’s history is also one shaped by its geographical physiognomy, the island’s role in several significant conflicts and the maritime and commercial activity that took place on the island throughout the centuries. The effect of numerous foreign rulers that governed Malta throughout the ages remains widely visible today in the island’s culture and lifestyle – even in Malta’s real estate offering.

A part of Malta’s remarkable and eventful history still resides in those homes of great character on offer around the Maltese Islands. It is extremely fascinating to retrace historical traditions and past lifestyles in these remarkable residences that are widely sought after and demanded today. These houses of character range from sumptuous stately homes to rustic farmhouses – each telling a little bit about the lifestyle of their time and their original homeowners.
