We spent a wonderful month in Malta and our base at Silver Lining contributed enormously to our experience. Such a warm welcome from Mac, who explained all the essential info so clearly and for all our time there was so helpful - always with a smile. Nothing was a problem for him, or so it seemed!
The apartment is more like a home rather than a generic rental space. It is so well equipped – if you thought of something that you might have needed, generally it was there! The loan of diving goggles was very appreciated as indeed was the offer to borrow other diving equipment.
The kitchen has everything that you would need to cater for eating in. And the roof space offers that extra bonus to have a BBQ (unfortunately there was unseasonably windy weather, and we didn’t make as much use of it as we would have liked).
The apartment itself is perfectly located. A minute’s walk to the bus stop for buses to the North (for the Ferry Terminal to Gozo & Comino) and South of the island. Buses to the central area (Rabat & Mdina) were about a 15 minutes’ walk away (if you didn’t want to have to change buses).
Small, yet well stocked supermarkets, a fresh fish shop, wonderful pastizzi vendors, a pharmacy, etc are all 2 to 10 minutes’ walk away, and of course there are so many restaurants and bars, all in close proximity.
I was lucky enough to be able to swim each morning in the newly refurbished outdoor swimming pool, only a couple of minutes’ walk away and fresh cappuccinos at Frederica’s Kiosk beside the pool were a daily post swim treat.
Shout out to Liliana who welcomed me so warmly.
From the very beginning of our booking and throughout our stay, communication was excellent with both Andrew & Mac. And if there was a problem at all it was sorted before you could blink!
I can’t recommend Silver Lining enough.
Thank you, Andrew & Mac for such a special time.
