This is our 3rd trip to Malta. We’ve stayed twice in Valetta and this is our first time staying in the Three Cities. It’s probably our favourite location. We have loved staying in Bormla with Valetta only a very short, 6 minute, ferry trip away. The very best of both worlds. Chris, our host, very kindly picked us up from the airport and arranged our return trip, which is recommended.
Details about the accommodation have been well covered so I’ll focus on the area. Location, location, location. The Three Cities offer everything required on a holiday and Chris is a wealth of information and recommendations and is always at the end of the phone, should there be any issues. We had an issue with the TV and it was immediately sorted. The area hosts a wealth of cafes where you can watch the world go by enjoying the view of the super yachts along side the small Maltese Dghajsa water taxis, there are cheap eats as well as more upmarket restaurants. We particularly recommend Mykonos in Bormla and Del Borgo in Birgu. The whole area is great for exploring and there are a number of facilities run by Heritage Malta in easy reach of the house eg Fort St Angelo and the Inquisitor’s Palace are well worth visits. Public transport is excellent to access Valetta - we recommend the ferry, they run every half hour during the day, less frequently at night, so important to check the times but it was great value for money, particularly if over 60 and included within the price is a lift ride up to Upper Barrakka Gardens which are stunning. The buses are comfortable and cheap for travelling to other parts of the island and we enjoyed our trip to Medina and the Rotunda in Mosta. A fabulous week, great weather with a dramatic thunder and lightening storm too. THANKYOU Chris for all your advice and great accommodation. We will be back and the Three Cities will be our location of choice.
