Villa Bologna located in Triq Sant' Anton Street, Attard was originally constructed by Fabrizio Grech, Grandmaster Pinto's legal adviser as a dowry for his daughter.

The villa was extensively remodelled by Lord Strickland in the 1930s with the use of reinforced concrete which was fashionable at the time. The main building is on two floors with the lower having a groove-jointed panelled façade and embellished by a large, open stone balcony at the front. All windows have decorated pediments with heraldic coat of arms above the main door and above the balcony. There are two large decorative portals on the left and right of the building, each having a banded column on each side, supporting open balustraded balconies.

The rear of the villa is heavily remodelled with a chevron shaped loggia with its roof forming a large terrace above. At its middle is a large portico which also serves as a terrace for the intermediate level. The large gardens are decorated with ornate works including arches and portals and many statues copied from classical works of art. There are trellised paths, gazebos, wells, gardeners' sheds and a lodge with a crenellated roof at the far end of the garden. The extended gardens were meticulously planned in the fashion of those of Villa Frere' in Pietà by Lord Strickland's second wife.

The property is surrounded by high, crenellated walls with octagonal lookout posts at intervals. The main archway leading into the property has grove jointed pilasters and is surmounted by a decorative pediment. There are two other large arches along the front wall, one with a wooden door while the other is walled up. Both have an elaborate pediment including urn type finials.

Mepa scheduled Villa Bologna and surrounding gardens including its boundary wall as a Grade 1 national monument as per Government Notice no. 626/08 in the Government Gazette dated July 18, 2008.
