We had an amazing week in Michael's apt. The view from the balcony alone is worth the visit! Michael and Bev were great hosts and gave lots of good recommendations including an amazing restaurant in Valletta 'Da Pippo's' that if you get chance to go to we highly recommend. We were also lucky enough to have dinner with Michael and Bev one evening and it is clear to see the passion Michael has for his beautiful house and the restoration work that has been done.
Locally there was a great restaurant called Ferretti which is literally a 100 yards to your right as you leave the property and as others mention Marsaxlokk which is a 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive has some lovely restaurants, a great market on a Sunday and is also a good place to grab a boat trip from.
Valletta has to be worth a visit, we got a bus in one day but taxi home for 20 euros so then hired a car for 2 days to go back and explore more, our only problem was we wish we could have stayed longer.
Thank you again to Michael and Bev for their hospitality, we will be back!
