We highly recommend Claude’s townhouse. Claude welcomed us at the bus station, and showed us the way. He gave us tips on where to eat, where to shop and best ways of touring the island. The historic flavor of the house has been so well retained with gorgeous patterned tile floors. From stepping through the brightly painted traditional Maltese door to the balcony overlooking the narrow old street – everything was tastefully updated to give supreme comfort and convenience while still maintaining the Maltese “sense of place” we travel for. All the modern amenities (loved the shower) were installed to enhance the historical character. The rooftop terrace, overlooking the roofs of Victoria, was a wonderful place to sit in the sun and read.
On one of the most traditional pedestrian street, just behind the church, the location couldn’t have been better. We were just steps away from nearby restaurants and cafes. The bus station was close by which made it easy to tour the island.
