Andre was a patient and obliging host, who had no trouble making sure that all our needs were met. He allowed us to check in bright and early, allowing us to make the most of our day.

This house is a gem in the heart of Valletta. It's far enough from the city centre to allow for some peace and quiet, yet still within walking distance of some of Valletta's most charming restaurants and wine bars.

The location isn't the best aspect of this place. Nor the stellar nightlife that's just a stone's throw away. Nor the tastefully restored antique interior, for that matter.

The true potential of this place can only be realised in one way: Sipping a sultry glass of red wine on the roof; surrounded by quiet chilled night air and faced with the stellar view of a radiant Manoel Island beaming in the embrace of a modern Sliema skyline.

Sharing that with a loved one is truly a priceless experience.
