This was a great apartment to stay in! We stayed for a week and it was perfect for us! Definitely recommend if you’re interested in exploring the island and local area!
It is situated 5 minutes from the ferry across to Valetta, which was perfect and you can buy a weekly pass for €10, for unlimited journeys from 6am until midnight (it runs every half an hour). We also recommend buying the ‘explore card’, which gives you unlimited bus use for 7 days, this can be purchased at the airport or main bus terminal in Valetta for $21!
We found a hidden gem of a swimming spot located 10 minutes from the apartment, if you search “Fort St Angelo Rocky Beach” into google maps, it will take you straight there! We found this was nicer than any of the beaches we went to, and wished we spent longer there instead of travelling miles to extremely overcrowded tiny beaches!
There is a small convenience store and pharmacy located 2 minutes from the apartment which has most things you will need. There is also a larger chain store located 10 minutes up the hill from the apartment which is much larger and had a better selection of everything!

Overall we loved Malta and Bormla. Chris was great with quick responses to any queries we had, offering airport pick up/drop off with a quick tour of the local area on arrival, which really helped us get our bearings!
