John's place is typical of old Maltese architecture which has been lovingly restored. There is everything you need for your stay plus a lot more. You would easily fit a family of four. There is a small outside area which is nice. It is very clean and comfortable with everything you need to cook at home if you choose. There are plenty of towels and fresh linen if needed. Also a nice selection of books if you want to while away a few hours. John is always available if needed which is also a comfort.
The Bormla area is delightful, this was our 4th visit to Malta and we explored the The Three Cities quite extensively. Near to the house there are lovely family run businesses with lovely people always happy to chat. Our favourites were Mood Cafe just to the right at the bottom of the steps, Cafe Riche on the way to Birgu was really nice. . Café BeBirgu in Birgu just a 10 min walk away and Il Hnejja a fab family run restaurant on the Isla Promenade just over the water from Bormla (10 min walk). Also the ferry to Valetta is a short walk. We discovered a fab little fish shop La Poissonnerie which sells fresh fish but will also cook dishes for you if you wish, and a lovely butchers 'Beat the Meat' again all a 10 minute walk away. We recommend John's place highly for a true Maltese Experience. We loved our stay here and look forward to going back in July.
