Reviews of Traditional Maltese Townhouse - Close to Sea

Everything is just great about this place. It is cozy and comfortable place where you feel like home since it is equipped with all necessary things. Location is in a beautiful area. Host made our stay really comfortable with provided guide book filled in with instructions about the house, recommendations about sightseeing, transport and shops bear by. It is really great place to stay.

We love everything about this house & the location.

Nothing, couldn’t fault it.

It’s a very nice and quiet residential area with traditional Maltese townhouses. The rooftop view and ambiance were perfect for evening relaxation and conversations. The city center is easily reachable by traditional boat—just note that they’re not available in the evenings (at least in April). The house has everything you need to feel comfortable and enjoy a unique experience of living like a local. There are a few shops nearby, and we never had any trouble with parking—it was always available within a 3–5 minute walk.

The stairs inside the building are quite steep, which could pose difficulties for people traveling with children and seniors. The shower space is really tiny.

Except for the dishes which were only okay, the house was very clean. We really enjoyed the decor, and the terrace is perfect for relaxing over a glass of wine. The house is quite spacious, there is plenty of room for two people. Bed was comfy and sheets were clean. The house is located in a quiet and pleasant neighborhood. Wandering around the surrounding streets of Senglea was great.

Bathroom is on a lower level than the bedroom, which is a slight annoyance. The bathroom is also quite cramped. While the area is lovely and quiet, it's not great in terms of convenience. Distance to the Valetta ferry is not insignificant, and there isn't much in terms of restaurants, cafes and supermarkets around. Sliema would have probably been a better choice in these aspects.

Brilliant location with accurate description of the property on the site and from the reviews so exactly as expected.

Nothing that we weren’t already aware of - ie:steep steps and shower room and kitchen on same level.

The terrace is amazing, with a beautiful view overlooking the harbour. The fully equipped kitchen was great, and the owner even stopped by to bring us a new French press when the previous one was broken. It’s a small detail, but it really shows how much the owner cares. We also appreciated the guest manual, which included plenty of tips on where to eat and what to visit. There’s a big TV to watch your favorite shows after a long day exploring Malta (just remember to bring your own HDMI cable). The area where the house is located is very charming, with lovely houses and narrow streets. There are small shops nearby for grocery shopping, and a bus station close by, which we regularly used to get around. As mentioned in other reviews, the bathroom is really small (tiny), but it was good enough for us. Overall, we highly recommend this place—can’t think of anything negative to say about it!

The apartment was great, the layout took a bit of getting used to. Having the kitchen and bathroom on same floor was a bit strange for me.

The amount of steps within the apartment could be an issue for older or infirm visitors

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.

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

Quiet location, nice restaurants along the harbour, easy and pleasant to catch the ferry to Valletta and from there travel all over the island.

Very small bathroom
