Dar Isla, in the heart of the Three Cities, Malta

Loved staying at Dar Isla. We go to Malta every year and have not been disappointed by the island or properties and this was no exception. Dar Isla was spotlessly clean, comfy, extremely well equipped, easy to access/leave and the welcome items after a long journey were mostly gratefully received. There is a corner shop over the road, which was so handy for supplies. The location is perfect for strolling to local bars, cafes & restaurants in Senglea. But if you want a dip in the Grand Harbour, then you are only 5 mins away, as right at the end of Sengela you can sunbath on the rocks and swim in the sea, without a grain of sand getting in your shorts! A short 15 walk into Birgu, opens up more sightseeing, restaurant & cafes, not to forget the water taxi to Valletta, a wonderful capital city that is not to be missed. A further 20 mins walk will take you to Kalkara, with yet more to experience. Take your swimmers as right at the end it its small, quiet, clean sandy beach, Rinella Bay a favourite with the locals. Can't wait to go back next year. Thank you Dar Isla for a wonderful time

Just needed a rack to hang our clothes on outside. That said there were plenty of coat hangers that did the job!!

- beautiful design-furnished apartment in an old typical house - basic food and welcome gifts from the owners - fully equipped kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, toaster and coffee maker - close to the ferry to Valletta and the bus stop - close to groceries and restaurants - check-in and check-out at night, keys available after entering the code in the lockbox - the apartment is located on 3 floors, a lot of stairs can be problematic for elderly people - windows in old houses are not sound proof, might be a problem for someone who is a light sleeper

We were satisfied with everything.

Location beautiful. Very close to the bus and to the fairy to Valletta, you need to prepared for going a little bit uphill (no problem for me). The apartment has everything that You need to stay in Malta. Its very quiet and 2 local shops are 100m away. Owners are so nice and very helpful. They went abowe and beyond to make our stay very pleasant. I am awed with this place and will recommend it to everyone.

The apartment is very well equipped and conveniently located. Everyting is easily accessible by ferry and bus. There are numerous small groceries within walking distance. A mobile greengrocer comes by regularly. Communication with Romina and Alessandro went easily.

The windows are not well insulated, so it is sometimes a bit noisy in the early morning hours (around five o'clock) when the small store across the street gets deliveries. Fortunately we could always fall asleep again.

Dar Isla is the perfect place in almost every respect for a couple wishing to spend a few days in Malta surrounded by its sights. The apartment is beautifully designed and furnished. There is a huge bathroom and a separate toilet. There is a fully equipped kitchen with a dining room, a romantic bedroom, and a living room. Excitable hosts respond quickly to questions, which are not many thanks to the pdf guide they have prepared. There are plenty of different restaurants in the area. Within a few hundred meters there is a bus and ferry stop.

I do not recommend the place to the elderly or people with small children due to the rather steep stairs. From the disadvantages, the bathroom is underheated, but I think it may be a problem only in January, which is when we were there.

A cosy place, very nicely decorated. Spotlessly clean. Romina & Alessandro are great hosts - really appreciated the handwritten welcome note + welcome pack. Communication with them was easy and straightforward. Well-equipped kitchen. Close to all amenities. Truly recommend. Only a 10-15 minute walk to the Cospicua-Valletta ferry.

The neighbors can be a bit noisy at times, but that is something that the hosts have no control over.
