This truly is a house of character. If you have ver wanted to experience life as the Maltese do then this is ideal. The house is georgeous - remember it is very old.
I must tackle the issue that crops up in a number of reviews of this property. This is an old stone built house and YES there can be a smell that in the UK we associate with damp this is not damp this is a symptom of old Maltese houses walk past any open door and pause you will come across it. Its the salts etc in the stone. Dont be put off as once windows are open its gone. It is perfectly normal in Malta!!
Now the property - situated in Rabat which is a georgeous town with all the amenities you can ask for - restauraunts, supermarkets, baker butcher etc. Opening times vary but are usually 7am to about 10 am then again (if you are lucky) at 4pm. Great attractions and history around you ideal for exploring Malta as bus stops are less than 5 minutes from house to just about anywhere on the island.
The house is very old but has been managed in keeping with the tradition and there are ample facilities in the house you will need whether cooking in or eating out. We particularly made great use of the sun roof. There are a great deal of places to eat within minutes of the house whether eating on a budget or fine dining (you don't notice them all during the day as many only open in the evening or not every evening). Great area to explore. Have been going to malta for 26 years and this is the best experience of proper Maltese liveing we have had. No big hotels with noise but a restful oasis. Thank you Marco we will be back.
Oh and marco can even pick you upfrom the airport if you ask.
