I booked a surprise trip to Malta for my fiancé’s 30th birthday and with Franco’s help the journey was almost perfect! Franco arranged for a taxi (costs extra) to pick us up who stood with our name at the arrivals gate who then took us directly to the apartment, handing us the key. When we arrived we were greeted by a bottle of wine, water and some snacks which was very thoughtful. Everything was super clean and Franco thought of everything including washing up liquid, iron and hairdryer which was lovely. The apartment is fitting with 3 pin plug sockets so no need to bring your adapters either!
We stayed Friday till Wednesday and had a great time enjoying exploring Valetta, St julians, St George’s bay (beach), St peters pool (A MUST SEE) and taking a boat trip to Gozo, the blue lagoon and Crystal bay which I would highly recommend! We were very lucky with our weather and spent the whole trip in shorts and dresses! There are some lovely cocktail bars and restaurants around, one I would HIGHLY recommend is Burgers Ink - amazing burgers and pancakes and the service of a young Albion guy was amazing! We spent most of our journey going round by either bus (€1.50-2 a journey per person) or down load the ‘bolt’ app which is their version of an Uber and I would say it’s definitely worth planning your way around prior to arriving as there’s lot to see and do especially when you venture out from Valetta. If you are looking for a crazy party town I would suggest staying in St julians, however Valetta was beautiful and most places still stayed open until 1.30/2am if busy. We loved it and have managed to come home (in October) with a great tan 😜. Thank you Franco for making our journey that much more better with your great hospitality
