The Boathouse is a splendid 3 storey apartment. Large and spacious, meticulously clean. Mauro and Val are a lovely couple, very welcoming and friendly. Little touches in the apartment that helped make our stay a ‘home from home’ I would most definitely recommend that if you want to stay in Birzebbuga this is the place to stay. The apartment is very close to bus stops to and from Valletta and the airport, and there are also some nice local food shops if you want to eat in or restaurants if you prefer. Travel by bus is great value but you do have to have patience as some of the journeys are overcrowded, and long due to the volume of traffic. We had a wonderful stay at The Boathouse.
