About this property

Water's edge apartment with stunning 180 degree historic harbour views

    This is a water's edge, spacious, stylishly furnished apartment commanding magnificent views of the historical Malta Grand Harbour.

Large doors from the living room and dining area open onto the balcony, offering splendid 180 degree views of the Malta Grand Harbour. The open-plan luxury kitchen is equipped with all necessary appliances. Sleeping accommodation consists of a master bedroom (double bed) with bathroom en suite, a second bedroom with 2 single beds and a third bedroom with one single bed. The apartment is child-friendly, with various necessities for a baby such as cot, baby changer and baby chair. A car parking space is included in the rental.

This apartment is perfectly located to explore Valletta and enjoy the best views of the Grand Harbour. History is literally on the doorstep in Birgu (definitely worth exploring) and Valetta by water bus or taxi.

Communication from Connie prior to our stay was excellent and Francis being on hand to greet us made finding the location and the check in process much easier (and we were able to check in a little early which was really helpful). Apartment was perfectly clean and well equipped. The view from the sunny balcony each morning was glorious and we particularly enjoyed the local Birgu area and taking the water taxis to Valetta to explore the local history.

Super spacious apartment on the waterfront.

Apartment was modern, bright and very spacious with an amazing view across the water. Everything we could have needed was supplied, including, unfortunately, an umbrella! Would need a few more chairs on the balcony if five were staying there. The waterfront restaurants were great and if you want peace and quiet Vittoriosa is the place to stay. It was fun going to Valetta on the gondolas to explore the bustling city and also to get provisions and onward travel. A great short break.

March in Malta

The apartment location was great. Right beside Fort St. Angelo, a short walk to the water ferry to Valletta. The apartment was well outfitted and Francis was very kind to have stocked the fridge with a few essentials., as we arrived late in the evening. If the weather is warmer you can a dip in the harbour a few feet from the official entrance to the Mansions.

The Most Wonderful Stay!

After spending two weeks excavating at the Roman Domus, I had the privilege to stay at this wonderful property! The hosts were exceptional, very communicative and thoughtful. They provided grocery staples so I did not have to immediately shop, and everything one needed for a comfortable stay was thought of included swim gear for accessing the swim area outside which was so nice! We loved spending time sitting on the deck and admiring the breathtaking view. We did cook some meals and found everything one needed. We really loved this property!

Great Stay in a great apartment

The apartment was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need and exceptionally clean. The hosts were great, very helpful and friendly. The apartment was great - the photos don’t really do it to its credit. Really handy for Valletta (€2 boat across the harbour) and it felt like we had our own pool with the harbour outside the front door (cordoned off for swimmers). There was a parking space and air conditioning throughout - we will definitely have a revisit!

Great apartment! You will not be disappointed!

Apartment was excellent! Great view over the harbour, with a swimming area just a few yards from the front door. All the important things were there - aircon in all bedrooms and living room, wifi was great & shower excellent. Check-in with Francis was comprehensive, even though we arrived very late. And we were extremely pleased to received the Welcome Pack with water, milk, bread, ham cheese etc. This was a great location , much less hectic than Valetta. Highly recommended!

Connie was very responsive by email and her father Francis explained things when we checked in. Very nice.Francis had some water and food there to get us through our first night. Security staff was always friendly, but we always felt safe in the area of Birgu. The mattresses could be replaced, but that may just be us. I would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your apartment, loved the view.

Wonderful apartment with swim area at the front door!

We are from the US, a family of 5 (parents and 3 young adult children), and this was our first time in Malta. We loved this apartment. Francis, the father of the property owner, met us outside on our first day and showed us all around the apartment, introduced us to the security guards, etc. The apartment is just as described, very nicely appointment and has so many extras for kids, the beach, etc. Our favorite thing about this property was the fact that there is a swimming area right out the front door! It is not a touristy area at all, but locals were swimming there night and day. We also went for a dip at the end of most days and it was so refreshing! The location of this apartment is wonderful, the area is so lovely and historic, we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Don't worry about driving

This is a fantastic apartment in a really nice area of Malta. Check in was great with Francis meeting our taxi near a restaurant and then taking us to the parking spot for the apartment and then the apartment. This was great because it would have been very difficult to find otherwise but once you know where everything is then it is easy. I won't repeat all the good things said about the apartment as they are all accurate - it really is a lovely place with superb views. The restaurats nearby are excellent and theTuna I had at Cargo was fantastic ( I had it twice). Getting to Valetta is easy on the Dgħajsas which were 3 euro per person and great fun or the ferry (which was easier for by 82 year old mother in law) for 2 euro each. The only mistake we made was not staying longer as we wanted to see the rest of Malta and were worried about parking and driving. Because of this we hired a car and stayed on Gozo for the second part of our trip. While this was very nice Gozo is a bit small. We would have been better staying here and using it as a base to explore Malta. The driving to and from the apartment was easy and the general standard of driving in Malta was fine (we had heard that it was a bit crazy) - we never felt unsafe. There is a dedicated parking spot that was easy to park in and not tight. Overall a fantastic stay.

My husband, teenage daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the apartment in Vittorioso. The views from the balcony were gorgeous overlooking Valletta and the Grand Harbour with cruise ships coming and going and even a special viewing of the fireworks one night. Connie’s father Francis was especially helpful when our cab driver left us in an incorrect location in the village. He kindly met us and drove us to the apartment, showed us around and even supplied some supplies to get us started in the morning after our late arrival. We also greatly appreciated the late checkout which allowed us to see a bit more of the area before leaving for Gozo. There is lots to see and do nearby in the village as well as wonderful restaurants and walks along the water. We took advantage of the small traditional boats to get to and from Valletta mostly but Bolt was easy and quick as well. It was a pleasure to return back to the apartment in a quieter area and sit back with a glass of wine on the balcony with that beautiful view each evening. Highly recommended!
