It is very pleasant and relaxing to stay with Alexander in Birzebbuga.
First, Alexander picks you up at the airport, which is a very nice welcome and a super easy start.
Then the house: you recognise the room and terrace from the online pictures, but it is still so surprising – so big, airy, green... Big kitchen with fridge and microwave etc. for your use.
Alexander is very helpful with all you need (deckchairs, bus timetable, restaurant recommendations ...)
The cherry on the cake: a great breakfast – and when you are lucky, a great Maltese insider at your disposal for all the questions you might have.
Birzebbuga is kind of cool, with its own beach (a nice one!), including the view on the harbour (you feel like in Hamburg), and a down to earth atmosphere. Rather local than touristy.
The only downside: It is in the entry lane of the airport, i.e. there is some noise. But there are not so many airplanes, and it is only the entry lane, which is much less noisy than the exit lane.
