Very traditional Maltese townhouse with beautiful views of Valletta. The house has a lot of stairs - 3 flights total that are for guest use. The bathroom and bedroom are on the same floor (above the entryway). Kitchen and living room are up the next flight. The terrace and washing machine are on the roof.
The ferry to Valletta is about a 10-15 minute walk (10 euros for unlimited trips in a week). It comes often. There is a plaza near the house where you can take a bus to Valletta’s main bus station. From here you can reach buses that go to beaches. Bus rides are LONG. I recommend the 11 trip bus card maximum for a week’s stay. We traveled most of the time via ferry to hang out in Valletta. The buses have AC so sometimes it was worth taking the bus into Valletta even though the ride is longer than the ferry.
Senglea also has a waterfront area with restaurants and bars. You can swim near the house at the tip of the peninsula. On the way to the bus station is a small market for coffee or laundry detergent.
The neighbors are nice and helpful. Malta uses cash, so come prepared.
I highly recommend using the airport pick up. George the driver is very nice, and the streets/steps can be a burden with luggage.
The house feels like a castle. We loved it. It’s at the tip of the peninsula, at the top of a hill, and across from a pleasant garden. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and safe.
Highly recommend!
