Valletta Vintage’s Retro Pad on Triq San Pawl was the perfect location in beautiful Valletta, close enough to the centers of activity, but far enough to be away from the noise and the crowds. And on a beautiful, stone Maltese street, with its own gallarija, which we used every day, either for breakfast or for reading, we understood after using it how these wonderful, enclosed balcony spaces allow you to hover above the public realm in the comfort of your own home. A truly special experience and feeling! The weather in early April was a bit cooler than we expected, but we turned this into an adventure of finding “Maltese” jackets in one of the many nearby stores. It also made the comfortable bed even more cozy, as the duvet was very effective and warm, especially in the chilly mornings (there is no heat). Regarding the renovation, as an architect, I appreciated the great attention to detail and the decisions made in renovating the space, it was a wonderful melange of old and new, stylish and ordinary, nostalgic and high tech, so kudos to Chris, who i see from the website has done many of these renovations in Valletta, making us curious to try one of the others. My only complaint is that we were only able to have one key card, which made one of us have to wake up the other who wanted to stay home for a nap one day when he returned from touring. But overall, a wonderful experience, a beautiful and stylish apartment, we would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it, especially for those interested in design and urbanism.
