We had a wonderful holiday at Martin’s place. The location of the townhouse is to die for: a very short walk to the center of town with all its restaurants, bar, cafes and museums, it’s the perfect place to explore Valletta and is fantastically located to explore the rest of the island, being so close to the water and a 5 min. walk to the Ferry to Sliema. It’s also, literally, 5 min walk to a beautiful swimming spot where you can cool down and enjoy the warm Mediterranean waters with only a few people around (this is probably a well-kept secret of the locals that I’ve just given away). It was almost like having our own private beach at our doorstep - which is a blessing as it gets pretty hot in Malta. The house itself has everything you need: a well- equipped kitchen - should you feel inclined to cook (which we didn’t as it’s impossible to have a bad meal in Valletta), bright and airy rooms upstairs, a large, well-appointment bathroom and a walk-in closet if you want to show off your summer wardrobe. Most importantly, it has air conditioning and fans throughout which is a must- have in that climate. It’s also very secure. Martin is an excellent and attentive host. Next time we come to Valletta, we’ll definitely stay here again.
