If you are thinking of going to Malta and do not want to stay in Valetta then this gem is a must! It is in a picture postcard position on the side of a marina looking over towards picturesque houses. Boats can be seen going into the marina down the slipway opposite the house, particularly at weekends.
My wife and I are both in our 60's and found the position of the house to be well within walking distance of good restaurants, shops and busses which we used extensively to get around the island.
Now to the house itself. It is clean, comfortable, spacious and modern. The main living area and kitchen are on the second floor accessed by a conventional staircase. This area has dual aspect windows giving plenty of light with a modern kitchen with gas hob and electric oven. Each room has individually controlled air conditioning which worked well.
The bedrooms and bathroom are on the next floor accessed by a pretty spiral staircase which then continues to the top floor and the roof terrace.
Val was a great host and took us on a quick tour of the area showing us the local shops, bus stops, restaurants etc.
I will stop there but have to make it clear that this is a superb house with great hosts. Just to be fair the spiral staircase could be difficult if you have mobility issues and the shower pressure is not good. Both minor issues compared to the overall quality of the house.
