Grand Harbour - Apartment in historic Valletta building

This unique Valletta duplex, is part of a 400-year old historical building. Situated across the road from the iconic Siege War Memorial & the Lower Barrakka Gardens where you can enjoy spectacular views of Malta's Grand Harbour. A 5-minute walk from the center of Valletta - a city buzzing with shops, restaurants, trendy bars & steeped in history. A bus stop is a few steps away. The space is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, or a family with kids.

This self catering maisonette is on 2 levels and has its own front door:
- it has a fully equipped kitchen, a small dining table and a sofa in the space downstairs.

- the bedroom upstairs has a double bed, plenty of wardrobe storage and a small balcony that overlooks a quiet Valletta street that is lined with traditional Maltese balconies.

The apartment forms part of a 17th Century building that was built with walls that are 1.2m wide.... you should feel safe enough inside! When you step outside, you are a few steps away from the spectacular views of Malta's famous Grand Harbour and The 3 Cities. You will be very centrally located within walking distance of all the Valletta attractions, and 1-minute walk from the bus stop.

Amenities include:
An ironing board, hair drier, washing machine, tumble drier, Air Conditioning, TVs with USB ports and Google chromecast for logging into your YouTube or Netflix account. WiFi is available free of charge.

The apartment is equipped with a smoke detector, a fire extinguisher & a fire blanket, emergency light and a first aid kit - all located in the kitchen area.

This maisonette is on street level and has very few stairs. Please let us know if you would like us to provide you with a cot or if you have any other requests for your little ones.

Although the apartment is in a central location in the city of Valletta, it is situated in a traditional residential street - Old Wells Street (or Triq Bjar in Maltese) which is quiet and safe at night.

The bustle of the city is just a corner away.

Location + Charm + Communication = Wonderful Stay
This was a great place to call home for our two-week stay in Malta celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. The location of the apartment is convenient. We easily walked to the main city center, to the various bus stops, and, often at night, around the corner to the Lower Barraka gardens where we enjoyed an evening sitting on a bench viewing the harbor and reading our books. Two convenience stores nearby made it easy to purchase items we needed as we walked home in the evenings. The apartment is charming, just like the photos. Our one concern from viewing the photos was the shower because we knew it was located under the stairs. It wasn't as small as we feared, but had ample room, good water pressure, and good hot water. We also enjoyed sitting in the chairs upstairs relaxing in the evening after a busy day of sight-seeing. The wardrobe provided ample room for us to put away our things while the convenience of a washer helped keep us in clean clothes during our stay. I utilized the drying rack more than the dryer and was pleased to have both options. While we chose to not cook on this vacation, the apartment was fully stocked with what is needed to prepare meals. Arthur was very responsive to any questions I had. When we had trouble with the Nespresso, he gave us helpful suggestions and when that didn't work, came over to fix it. He also helpfully scheduled taxi service to and from the airport. He is an excellent host. We would stay here again!

CUTE CONVENIENT APARTMENT
We really enjoyed our stay in this charming apartment located close to grocery stores and to downtown Valletta. Arthur, our host, arranged our taxi both from and to the airport and was always available to solve any problems. The apartment was well furnished. However, we did have a few issues with pots and pans being too large for 2 people and the only coffee maker was the pod type. We would have preferred a french press or similar. The electric kettle did not work but Arthur replaced it promptly. Our main issue was the kitchen tap which leaked constantly and was extremely inconvenient. Our only other issue was the TV which was not really available to us as we live in Canada and the systems are not compatible. Overall, we had a wonderful time in this cute little apartment.

Perfect location
This cozy apartment is located in a perfect location: near the wharf and rapid ferry departing point, a few blocks from the Valletta main attractions and the buses terminal. The apartment is perfect for a couple and included a washer and dryer, which is infrequent. Arthur, your host, is extremely helpful and respond to your queries immediately. Overall, this property is an excellent base from where to explore Malta.

Stunning Stay in Malta
This two-level unit is in the heart of everything in Valletta, but quiet enough to provide some good rest as well. Just a minute or two walk from the Lower Barrakka Gardens, and half a block from the stunning harbor, the unit is very well appointed with a comfy couch and chair, full kitchen, and bathroom on the first floor; and a gorgeous bedroom occupying the entire top floor. There is even a small balcony to enjoy morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator in case you want to cook your own meals and a washer/dryer. The unit comes with a very informative booklet with instructions for the unit and recommendations for the surrounding area, which was very helpful. The unit owner was communicative and very helpful before and during our stay - he even arranged transportation from the airport for us, which greatly eased our minds. A short walk along the grid of little streets in Valletta will get you anywhere you want to go and a vast range of food, drink, and shopping. A wonderful stay!

A lovely small and beautiful apartment
It was all the things in the title but my confusion with the photographs caused me to believe it had an outside patio with a water view. Not the owners fault as it was clear to me that many of the outside photos were not views from the apartment. It was close to many interesting parts of Valletta and we loved out time in the city.
