Valletta G-House features on Portuguese travel magazine Rotas e Destinos this April. The G-House repute is spreading fast and here is a market that we might have completely missed had journalist Teresa Federico and photographer Manuel Gomes da Costa not come to visit.
No que toca a alojamento, a oferta hoteleira abunda em Malta. No entanto, alugar uma casa num bairro popular da capital proporciona certamente uma experiência especial. Primeiro projecto do género de Aldo Gatt, director de arte na área da publicidade a residir em Londres, a G-House é um boutique place num edifício do século XVI. Cruza o seu hobby de recuperar casas e o trabalho, através, por exemplo, do grande quadro que ornamenta o quarto, baseado num clássico de Eugène Delacroix mas resultante de uma foto do inglês Tim Flach, feita para uma campanha da luta contra o cancro. Está já alugada até Agosto, provavelmente com a ajuda da divulgação em revistas internacionais.
This is my extremely hopeless translation of what Teresa wrote in the article:
Hotel accommodation is easy to find in Malta. However, renting a house in a popular quarter of the capital certainly makes for a more special experience. The G-House is the first project of the kind for Aldo Gatt, an Art Director living in London. The boutique accommodation is in a XVI century town house. He gets great results with mixing his day job skills with his love for restoring old houses. Embellishing the main room, for example, is what looks like a classic painting of Eugène Delacroix but, a closer look will reveal it to be a Tim Flach photoshoot Aldo art directed, part of a cancer treatment advertising campaign. The house is booked well into August.
