This is a nice little apartment in a quiet area between the touristy areas of Buggiba, and Xemxija, particularly recommended for couples seeking a relaxing getaway in the sunshine.

Lorenzo and his wife were really helpful. They picked us up from the airport and gave us a quick tour of the area, pointing out grocery shops, bus stops, and places to eat, before taking us to the flat. The apartment had everything we needed - towels, basics for breakfast, bottled water, soap and other essentials, as well as useful information brochures and phone numbers for taxi hire etc. It's also well kitted out with a fridge, lots of cookware and a barbecue if you want to self-cater.

The best feature of the place is the large roof terrace overlooking the bay which gets the sun all day; it also has an awning to provide shade if needed. Great for sunbathing, reading, and watching the sun set over the bay full of little boats! The flat is walking distance away from a few different places to eat across the bay in Xemxija.

Location-wise, it's near enough to St Paul's the town so you can take a bus in to buy groceries and come back, but far enough away from the really touristy areas to get some peace and quiet. Although the bars across the bay play music sometimes in the evenings which is audible from the terrace, but not from inside. It's not that near to what (in my opinion) are the nicer parts of Malta but perfectly doable within a day. To get further afield, you can get anywhere by bus (Valetta, Mdina, Gozo ferry) but this can take some time, so if you want to do a lot of exploring on your trip you might want to hire a car. That said, we used the buses to get everywhere and it was very cheap and easy.

Over all we had a really nice time staying at Lorenzo's place and couldn't had asked for more. A great place to hang out and relax
