My husband and I have just returned from a week in Birzebbuga at Mauro and Vals apartment. Their apartment is lovely and the view from the place is beautiful. If you read some previous reviews, they will tell you that there is a big shipping dock just around the corner from the apartment. This didn't spoil our stay at all. We slept well- in fact, extra well! Mauro was great in recommending places to eat and to visit. Marsaxlokk- about a 30 minute walk, is a quaint fishing village, we loved sitting in the sun people watching with a glass of wine and a fresh fish lunch. There is a bus stop just outside the apartment too, and the bus service is very reliable. We purchased a weekly pass at the airport ( with Mauros help), for about £18. We went all over Malta using it. Thank you for such a nice, relaxing stay Mauro and Val.
