It can be confusing which area to stay for a first time visitor to Malta. We could not have chosen a better location with Vittoriosa / Birgu in my honest opinion, in Tonio's place. The apartment is right in front of the beautiful harbour, a few meters walk to the ferry that crosses to Valletta, and smack in front of the dock for the traditional water taxis. It is within the historic center, where you can get lost in the labyrinth of historical streets much like a living museum, as this is the first base of the Knights. Tonio's apartment is close to restaurants and pubs, and there is an excellent deli downstairs with all the basics you could need. Clean, spacious and with spectacular views, we highly recommend Tonio's apartment.
