This extremely charming, beautiful apartment on the crossroads of St Paul’s Road and St Lucia Street overlooks one of the most photographed and picturesque streets in Valletta. Five steps away from the entrance one finds oneself transported into the subdued quiescence of the 16th century Collegiate Parish Church of St Paul's Shipwreck with its magnificent altarpiece by Matteo Perez d'Aleccio. From the balcony of the apartment one can hear the gentle murmurs of families and couples enjoying good food and a glass of wine, transported away from the hubbub of everyday life in farflung places. Just 10 minutes away from the apartment , close to the Knights Hospitalers, one can plunge into the warm sea and enjoy the company of Maltese families. The apartment is close to virtually everything in Valletta – a ten minute walk to the Sliema ferry, five minutes to the Food Market and 2 minutes to what one must consider the best Aperol spritz in Malta.The famous paintings of the Italian 16th century painter Caravaggio are just 5 minutes away (and we shall be coming back for the opening of the new Caravaggio wing).
The apartment is renovated to every inch of its life with high ceilings and original beams and cool, tiled floors. Beautiful contempory art in the form of cinematic images cover the walls. One brings to them one’s own narrative, which oddly enough changes with every new look. Ruth and Nigel are sensitive hosts with a passion for Valletta culture. After a long flight we were greeted with friendly hospitality, food and Valletta wine. What more can one ask?
