About this property

Grand Harbour, Valletta, Malta - sleeps six

The perfect base for your self-catering holiday in Malta, our apartment is situated on Dahlet Gnien Is-Sultan ('the Site of the Sultan's Garden') just outside the city walls of old Valletta, a World Heritage City, and within easy reach of all facilities and transport links. On the quayside just below us is the new fast ferry terminal to Gozo (takes 45 mins, every 2 hours - foot passengers only) and ferries across to the Three Cities.

The apartment has a balcony and large roof terrace, sleeps up to 6 people and is newly refurbished throughout with modern, stylish furniture and new appliances. Click on the photos section to see the interior, views and surrounding area (but our full 180-degree view was too big to upload!)

The apartment sleeps up to a maximum of 6 people and has one double bedroom, one twin bedroom and two double sofa beds in the living room. Modern and stylish bath/shower room, and a second guest toilet.

The accommodation is spacious - 142 sq metres or 1,525 sq ft - light and airy throughout with traditional Maltese features such as the rustic wooden shutters on the windows and balcony doors.

We can provide a Welcome food pack containing tea, coffee and sandwich-making provisions for your arrival, if you wish.

The apartment balcony is small but has a patio-size glazed ceramic and wrought iron table and two chairs - perfect for your morning cup of coffee. The roof terrace, however, is very big with an olive tree, oleander and bougainvillea plants, a large garden table and six chairs where you can take your meals al-fresco, and two sun-loungers with a parasol.

Airport pick-up service by our own drivers. Flexible check-in times. Very friendly and helpful caretaker, maid cleaning prior to arrival and on departure.

A spacious apartment in a location that's handy for restaurants, ferries and tour buses (though I'd recommend using standard local buses rather than the unreliable hop on-hop off tour buses). The kitchen is well supplied with crockery and cooking equipment, with a large table and a small adjoining sitting area - we used this rather than the separate sitting room as it was less formal and was next to a small balcony. Four of us fit comfortably in the twin room + double bedroom (a double sofa bed is also available, but it would not be possible to use the air con if sleeping in that). We would definitely stay there again, because of the space and location. Sandra, who looks after the apartment, was also very communicative and helpful in organizing airport transfers.

The apartment has a wonderful view of the Grand Harbour. It was wonderful to see all the cruise ships passing by so close you could wave to the passengers.From the roof terrace you could listen to the music from the saluting battery at 12 and 4pm.The apartment was spacious and very tastefully decorated and furnished. The kitchen is functional but would benefit from a microwave for longer stays. A good washing machine was very usefulThere were problems with the heating not working in the bedrooms but two free standing heaters were provided..The location of the property is convenient for the Barraca lift and also the atmospheric eating venues on the steps, if one is fit enough!

This apartment exceeded expectations!! Amazing location right on the harbour just a few minutes walk from the gozo ferry and the centre of Valletta. Great size. We were a family of 5 adults but were very comfortable. Everything you needed was supplied and the host and caretaker looked after us and for a reasonable fee supplying food on arrival and organizing transport from the airport which was amazing. We were all so happy with our stay!

Comfortable beds and quiet! A delightfully large apartment with view over the harbour and small sunny balcony The brilliant Baraka lift very closeby for access to centre of Valletta or steps (but quite a few!). Ferries to Gozo and the Three Cities close by too.Taxi from (and back to) airport arranged by host Sandra worked a treat. No hesitation in fully recommending the flat.
