4/2015 - Nice View and Quiet Location

We loved the terrace and the view of the bay. The rental is fairly well maintained and away from the busier tourist area. The bus stop is directly in front of the apartment. You do not need a rental car as the local drivers are somewhat fast and the bus system is excellent and can g. The gas grill is a nice feature, and there is a local butcher just down the road.

All as described

Very clean and well equipped and ideal for a couple. A taxi met us at the airport as arranged by the owners and we were met at the apartment by Alessandro who advised of all we needed to know. (The lift stops outside the apartment so no humping cases up the last flight of stairs) The location is good with shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance and a very convenient bus stop outside if you don’t want to walk. Overall a very enjoyable 7 days.

Stunning views from great balcony

Stayed in this apartment for four nights in early June. Undoubtedly the main attraction is the spacious private balcony with stunning views over St Paul’s Bay - it was great to have breakfast and/ or drinks throughout the day or evening watching the world go by. The apartment is simply furnished inside but has everything you would need for a stay - ideal for a couple. It is conveniently located with some restaurants across the road and a beach bar/ restaurant just a few minutes walk away. Easy access to a swimming area also just across the road - ideal to cool down. The apartment is ideally located to get around Malta on bus - bus stop directly outside apartment - and we found using Uber ideal to get to some further areas like Mdina. Overall a great apartment and would recommend to others.

Seafront Penthouse with Terrace

Ruth and Neville were fantastic hosts; accessible, accommodating & readily available to answer questions from our initial contact. We had booked a one bedroom flat but, Ruth and Neville reached out to say that they knew their neighbor was having construction done and would we like to upgrade to a two bedroom with A/C nearby at no additional cost! We even arrived to a welcome package of wine, cheese, meats, bread & milk! The location was great e.g., far enough away from Buggibba but, close enough to get to if we wanted to. There is a great little restaurant, Pepe Nero nearby, a supermarket, a swimming hole and a beach bar lido. For those that want to stay in, the BBQ on the terrace is the perfect spot to relax! Perfect location for a get away!

A lovely little spot!

I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this lovely place. As a solo traveler, it was the perfect size for me. I think a couple could stay there also but I can’t see three people staying there (maybe a child on the couch in kitchen area). What I loved: Perfectly clean, loved the layout of the space with daylight coming from two opposite directions. The patio and its extraordinary view, off course, over San Paul’s Bay… splendid. The building is quiet and functional (elevator, caddies to take to the supermarket)… the overall location made it easy to Bolt my way everywhere. The neighborhood could use a few hot spots for a local night out. It is very quiet at night but it felt very safe, which is essential. And although the place is not quite as big as the pictures make it out to be, I felt at home and very “at home” instantly, which is the most important thing I could ask for. Very good communication with the Manager of the space. I definitely recommend this place.

Underwhelming

The apartment is clean and the caretaker ensures you are comfortable with the neighborhood upon arrival. You are on the main road in Malta with a bus stop in front of the apartment. After confirming our stay five months in advance, the owners stated there was a mix-up of dates after the back-and-forth and we should come one day later (although he was kind enough to state he would find another arrangement if this could not work). The apartment is sun-soaked without an AC or umbrella for sun shade. We awoke the next morning to find ants in the kitchen - owners were there the same day to remedy that with traps. The grill should be thrown out - it is old and broken down and instead of buying a new one they simply changed a metal sheet on part of it - a sub-par fix. We were trying to connect to the internet to get directions to a museum when we noticed the power was out...without warning. There was no way of contacting the owners without incurring an international fee and roaming fee (which we did). The owners said that is a common occurrence in the neighborhood-thanks for the warning. Additionally, had this happened upon a return from our grocery trip we would have been stuck in the sardine can elevator without a working fan for THREE hours!! There were no basics in the apartment - no water upon arrival, no fresh sponges to wash dishes, etc. We asked for a bread knife and the owners delivered one the same day. We left behind some water and beer for the next vacationers. Overall, the owners were trying to be accommodating and friendly, but did not meet our standards for a hassle-free comfortable stay.

Convenient position and wonderful outlook

1 bed penthouse on the 6th floor with wonderful views overlooking Xemxija Bay and a little harbour. Be warned that the lift only goes to the 4th floor and the stairs to the 6th are narrow and steep. However, when you reach there, the views are lovely. Apartment was lovely and clean and Ruth, the owner, was lovely and helpful and very informative. Position wise it is ideal. There is a bus stop immediately outside the front door for busses north, one one across the the street for those south. Some excellent restaurants within walking distant and one just across the road (Pepe Nero). Bus service in Malta is excellent - get a Tallinja bus card, 21 Euro for 7 days to go anywhere on any bus, including Gozo. Traffic can be slow so if in more of a hurry, get a Bolt card for a taxi service. Again, excellent service and very convenient.

Week in St Paul’s bay 19/10/2019

Prior to arrival we were contacted to say that due to potential building work nearby we would be upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment which was good. On arrival , cleaning was in progress so we were told to return within the hour which wasn’t a problem as we had to get lunch anyway. We then stocked up at the local convenience store but we were unsure what was left at the apartment ie cleaning products,toiletries, odd condiments or even a welcome pack as was provided to other holiday makers. There was very little of any of the above but no matter. Overall, the location was good and the local bus service despite sometimes being erratic was frequent. We grew to really like the St Paul’s harbour area and would not hesitate to recommend the apartment as a good base for a holiday.

Malta :-)

Das Apartment ist super schön, fast mit allem ausgerüstet (es gibt aber keine Schere und kaum Putzmittel), dafür jetzt aber eine Kaffeekanne für drei Tassen Kaffee :-) Die Lage ist toll, die Sicht über die Bucht ist klasse. Bushaltestelle ist direkt vor der Tür. Leider ist die Strasse doch arg befahren, so dass man die Abgase auf der Terrasse im 4. Stock riecht. Das war der einzige Wermutstropfen... Dafür könnt ihr aber nichts. Vielen Dank für alles Ruth und Neville, LG Cordula und Peter

Schönes Apartment über den Dächern von Malta

Lage sowie Zustand des Objektes super! Genug Parkplätze sowie eine Bushaltestelle befinden sich vor der Haustür. Kontakt mit den Vermietern lief sehr nett und komplikationslos. Highlight des 7-Tägigen Aufenthaltes war die versteckte, traumhafte Badebucht auf der gegenüberliegenden Straßenseite. Als Verbesserungspotenzial würden wir eine Klimaanlage und ein weicheres Bett im Schlafzimmer sehen.

Quiet part of St Pauls bay

The property is in a good position overlooking the bay with a bus stop right outside. Just across the road is a very good and reasonably priced restaurant called Pepe Nero. The apartment itself was very clean and stocked with everything needed for a week's stay. However, the bed and the settees were very uncomfortable so we found it difficult to relax. Also, the front balcony gets limited sun. The owners provided milk, cheese, ham, bread, milk, water and wine which was a nice touch and although we didn't need any assistance while there, they made it clear they would be available if needed. An information pack would be very helpful informing nearest shop, bus numbers as names are not in English, places of interest, restaurants etc

Velfungerende lejlighed - fin indretning med gode muligheder for selv at lave mad. Specielt terrassen brugte vi meget, da den ligger ugenert og har en pragtfuld udsigt. Udlejer skal have ros for god service, bl.a. bestilling af transport til og fra lufthavn. Kjeld og Ingelise - Kolding

Great place. The location was amazing with the bus stops right outside the front door. The restaurant across the street is amazing. Neville and Ruth made sure we were taken care of by contacting us throughout the week to make sure we were ok to arranging transportation to and from the airport to having someone greet us when we arrived. We would stay here again and for sure refer others as well.

BREATH TAKING

Clean and modern, two good sized bedrooms and modern shower room. Terrace with breathtaking views on another more relaxed way of life in the quiet harbour. BBQ to use on balmy evenings and modern washing machine out there too. Breathtaking view does not mean breathless climb, as modern lift there too. Shopping trolley downstairs for the short trip to the convenience store. Bus stop either side of the road makes Valetta and mdina 1 euro 50 away. Neville and Ruth are fantastic hosts from airport transfers to booking comino and blue lagoon trips door to beach! Very good value for money and TV channels too. Highly recommended.

perfect apartment :-)

I could advice everyone to visit the island of Malta, and if you do so, take the apartment of Neville is and Ruth at St.Paul's bay... everything was just perfect for us, we did not only find a very well equipped apartment, but also a owner that was only one whatsapp away for any kind off question.. the view was better then we hoped for; an emerald sea at day, harbour lights at night... it gas a big balcony, with a bbq, that we used the eat the best fish I ever had:-) in front of the building is a bus stop, the busses are taking you all over the island, but sometimes the were a bit overloaded:-) we came in late at evening, at our surprise we found some items for breakfast and a bottle of delicious wine.. a big compliment to Neville!! Highly recommended!! Value for money!

Great vacation

I spend 1 week with my husband and my 8 years old son in Ruth & Neville’s apartment. We were supposed to arrive on Saturday but Neville was expecting us on Sunday. Therefore there happened a mistake in the reservation. Neville asked us to stay one night in another apartment, but in the same house. It was just the second floor instead of the penthouse. So this was absolutely no problem for us. As a compesation we received a boat trip to Comino from Neville. Thank you for that! This was a great trip and comino is very nice. The next day after arrival we moved to the penthouse, which is a little bit smaller than the flat in the second floor because of the roof terrace. From there you have a perfect view on the St. Paul’s bay. Very nice. But the apartment in the second floor was from my point of view nicer and more comfortable. As you can see on the pictures in the description of the apartment, the furnishing is a bit older but totally ok for a holiday. Everything was clean and especially the service and communication with Neville and Ruth was perfect!

Top floor apartment with sizeable terrasse offering stunning views across the harbour

Good size apartment with all the crockery and cuttlery needed to cook decent meals including oven cooker + microwave oven, comfortable bedding, adequate bathroom with shower + toilet and a great outdoor living area with a gas BBQ. St Paul's Bay is a town therefore be prepared to put up with the usual city living nuisances (traffic noise, building work) however it has its own charm and is ideally located to explore the rest of Malta. For those who enjoy walking, there is a fantastic heritage trail to explore 15-20mn walk from the apartment on the other side of the harbour which is dotted with pre-historic landmarks as well as a Roman apiary! It leads you on to a deserted fort built by the British in the late 30's offering stunning views across the bay + North of the island as well as over Comino and Gozo. Now the absolute PLUS is the service offered by Neville and his team which is second to none! From taxi transfers to arranging tour bookings thanks to great communication links (Facebook, Whatsapp) all you need to do is ask and you get an answer within minutes! We were on a late flight and waiting for us were a couple of bottles of water along with bread, butter, ham and cheese to make ourselves a sandwich in case we were hungry. There is a bus stop right outside the apartment but to be honest, just hire a car as you will be able to park it on the street. You will get to see more of the island and I wouldn't recommend Malta's buses anyway. They're cheap, but they are way too infrequent and jam packed. I would definitely recommend a stay at Harbour Lights Penthouse Apartment. You really can't beat their highly attentive service.
