If you want to experience something special in Malta- Analisa and Ian have a wonderful home stay in a village about a 20 minute drive from Valletta. The village is a real Maltese community. Be sure not to miss the local bakery for some hot bread in the morning. The room was nicely appointed and it is wonderful to be able to experience history firsthand inside the walls of a 400 year old farmhouse. Ian and Analisa are extraordinary hosts who will make you feel like family. They gave us great tips of places to see , places to swim, and places to eat. There are stairs to the room. The bathroom is detached but the lighting on the stairs is good if you need an evening visit. At night you will see the stars from the home’s courtyard! If you are a cat lover, the village has lots of cats that are full of character. If you are driving you will need to park down a hill about a 4-6 minute walk from the house because the home is located in an older part of the village without any street parking. We really enjoyed our time in Malta thanks to Ian and Analisa. Thank you again!
