Quirky and characterful!The kitchen was good, well equipped, plenty of room, though we brought down the fan from the top bedroom as there wasn’t one in the kitchen.The living room is on a mezzanine above the kitchen with a tv with Netflix etc.There’s a shower room on the ground floor.One floor up is a spacious characterful double bedroom with window out onto the lane at the front. Up another floor is the spacious second bedroom with an en suite - which doesn’t have a door! This was ok for us as our daughter ended up staying in that room. There is also a roof terrace, up some steep steps.Very good location, though bear in mind you are up a hill from the harbour, if that’s an issue. The ferry stop for Valletta is a 10 min walk away. A small general shop is on the corner and another, a little further away, also did baked goods. There is a Tuesday street market nearby, handy for such things as laundry detergent, veg etc.We had a hire car and parking in the vicinity was always possible.

The Most Breath Taking and Historic Holiday Home Ever

The house is absolutely fantastic. It is over 400 years old and has been modified in a very caring way to provide a sumptuous holiday home for adults. Alfred, the owner - has thought of everything - I have never stayed in a holiday home where culinary extras - spices, oils are included together with all cleaning and washing, toiletries everything is provided. There is what we called the cinema room. Where you can sit in the living area - settees and watch TV as if you were in the cinema. Alfred even ensured that there was food in the fridge as we arrived late on a Saturday and shops closed on a Sunday. Alfred arranged taxis to and from accommodation and provided us with so much guidance and advice. The aim of Alfred, is to ensure that his guests have a wonderful holiday. He truly exceeded all our expectations, never before have I come across a host who wants to ensure that their guests have a great time rather than just taking the payment. Being outside of Valletta but within a 10 minute ferry ride, the cost of accommodation, food and drink is about half the price. Not sure, what else I can say, truly fantastic.

This property was exactly as advertised. We loved staying in a local neighbourhood and off the tourist track a bit. This historical property still had the modern conveniences we needed, so our stay was very comfortable. The location allowed us to walk most places and use the ferry to get over to Valetta. The host provided very detailed instructions to find the property and get in. No glitches.We had a great vacation soaking up the history, having perfect weather, and finding awesome food.
