Just returned from a wonderful stay at the boathouse. It is in a great location with lots of local shops nearby for everything you need. There are also a few restaurants around the harbour all well within easy walking distance, with views of the harbour and friendly staff. We hired a car but hardly used it as the buses were easy to use although sometimes erractic in their timings and frequency! The boathouse itself is clean, has everything you need and the amazing, ever changing views of the harbour can be enjoyed from the roof terrace with a glass or two of the local maltese wine (there is a good wine shop opposite the church). The locals are all very friendly and happy to point you in the right direction if you are looking for something. Communication with Mauro and Val was good and they made us feel reassured that they were at the end of phone or email if there had been any problems. Altogether a wonderful place, away from the hubbub which was within easy access if you want it. Will return without a doubt. Thank you.
