We really enjoyed our 5 weeks in Valletta, a beautiful town with a rich history. Paul, our host’s father welcomed us warmly, gave us tips and directions for everything we could want locally and could not have been more charming or welcoming. Our location was outstanding. Thirty seconds of walking takes you around the corner to the beautiful Lower Barrakka Gardens, where we walked and relaxed several times a day. Next door is the QEII bar and restaurant and next to that is the Lower Barrakka Kiosk for food or drinks. Any part of Valletta is accessible within a 20 minute (at the most) walk. Keep in mind that there are some steep streets that will sustain your fitness while you’re in Valletta:)
The place is well laid out with everything you need. The shower is small but we’ve come to expect that in Europe. Also be aware that with the street right outside your door and the bar next door, you will have some noise, especially on nights when there is something to celebrate (football matches, holidays, etc.). Our hosts were super-responsive and helped us with many suggestions and recommendations. They made our first trip to Malta more enjoyable. Many thanks to Paul and Alexiei!
