My first visit to Malta was a complete success. There is so much to do and see in such a small area, it is hard to decide what to do. My first, and best decision was to stay at John’s place and base myself in Il- Hamrun. I received a warm welcome from John at the door and was delighted to find his home to be a stylish and comfortable place to stay. Tastefully decorated throughout, this traditional Maltese town house is clean, tidy and well run with plenty of shared spaces, including the fabulous rooftop garden; an oasis from where to plan your trips further afield.
John is a genuinely kind and attentive host with great tips about the local and surrounding areas, a mine of information if you catch him when he’s not busy (you’re only allowed 10 questions a day - use them wisely!).
My room was light and airy with a cozy comfy bed.
The kitchen table was always set in the morning with a good choice of healthy breakfasts., teas and coffee. Try the yoghurt - it’s thick, not runny, you can have it with fruit but it’s best with honey.
Hamrun is a busy vibrant place, central to the whole island with easy access via the brilliant public transport service.
I could not have landed in a better spot.
Thank you, John, a true gentleman.
