Traditional Maltese Townhouse - Close to Sea

The townhouse is set out over three floors with a narrow winding staircase to the roof terrace, which we used every day. It's in a residential area at the end of Senglea and we loved being amongst the locals. Nearby bus stop and a few local produce shops were handy. It's not possible to drive down the street so ask a taxi to drop you at the nearby Gardjola Gardens and it's seconds away from the property. The house was really well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom is very small but we knew that and it's adequate. As it's off the kitchen, it's a flight of stairs down from the bedroom. Wide concrete staircases took a bit of getting used to so take care. It's not suitable for people with mobility issues. Excellent communication with the company who own it. Overall we were very happy there for a week.

Having to take extra care with the staircases. The entrance and exit to/from the terrace.

Great communication from the hosts pre-arrival. Messaged us first day to check if all okay which was a lovely touch

Suited us perfectly, no complaints

Full of character. good aircon.

Enjoyed our stay, good location close bus stop, ferry as well or you can catch a boat to Valletta. The apartment clean and cozy with interesting decor. The view in the terrace amazing enjoyed our time there. There was tea coffee and spices, very useful. Comfy bed, conditioner, clean towels. Bit small shower, but not a big problem for us.

Excellent location for us. Very quiet and beautiful neighbourhood. Close to the harbour. Close to very good restaurants. Close to the bus station. Near Gardjola Gardens. Very clean. There is a ”book” with very useful information about how everything works, where you find things in the house, about the nearest restaurants, shops etc. The photos tell exactly what you will find. It really is a nice place to stay.

The bathroom is indeed very small, but manageable.

Very clean! Great location and terrace view. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Getting the key from the lockbox and self checking-in was easy. The property is spread out over a couple of floors: kitchen/dining/bathroom on the first, then bedroom/living on the second. It has a beautiful traditional style with cool tiled floors. A cute private roof terrace offers a view of a working shipyard. Bed was really comfy. Sofa beds available. Plenty of storage. Towels provided. Can use the Alexa to play music as you cook. We watched YouTube on the TV in the evening. Easy-to-use air conditioning, plus a standing fan. British-style 3-pin plug sockets throughout. The surrounding neighbourhood was incredibly quiet when we visited in early May - we barely encountered anyone, but did enjoy seeing lots of street cats! Very peaceful location close to the gardjola gardens, which has amazing views of the capital. You can walk about 20 mins to Birgu (Vittoriosa) and catch the ferry to Valletta - cheap and easy, departs every 30 mins. The Senglea waterfront has some nice restaurants with good seafood.

The bathroom is wet-room style, which we didn't mind too much, its just the toilet seat gets soaked when you take a shower. That said, water was good and hot! Going up and down the staircases (e.g. to the toilet in the middle of the night) might be tricky for some, but they are wide and have good bannisters. The narrow spiral staircase to the roof terrace could prove difficult for some travellers.

Gorgeous house with an amazing terrace on topl
