Marthese is a very good host and the studio is well equipped. Although Siggiewi may be slightly off the beaten track, it's well worth staying in to capture a flavour of the old Malta, which is fast disappearing. I strong recommend becoming acquainted with the buses serving Siggiewi. Both Valletta and Rabat are within easy reach and from there you can carry on to other destinations on the island. There is also a bus that takes you directly from the airport to Siggiewi. If staying more than a couple of days buy an Explorer card, costing €21 for seven days, that will give you unlimited travel on public transport (except TD buses and the Gozo ferry). Best place for food and other shopping is Marsa P&R - has a Lidl and Pama supermarket - and is easily reachable by bus from Siggiewi.
