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. There is a separate TV lounge with 120-channel XLHD cable TV. There is free internet access with unlimited data usage. Ample bed linen and towels are provided but please bring your own beach towels.

Large kitchen/breakfast room with lots of character (1960s retro-style) and a dining table seating six, fully equipped including coffee maker, kettle, toaster, washing machine, ironing facilities. 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.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

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!

We have just spent 3 nights here and wow - what a property! Our host arranged the taxi transfers for us and Sandra, the caretaker was waiting for us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment. We arranged with Sandra for some food for our arrival - milk, bread, cheese, tea/coffee etc. Property was very spacious, clean, good air-con, on a quiet road right near Victoria Gate. Only a few minutes walk to centre of Valleta. Lovely terrace to enjoy a drink on, and also access to a large roof terrace. The views are amazing and we would 100% recommend a stay in this apartment.

Fabulous! A really great spot to enjoy Valetta.Very clean, we were incredibly well looked after. Sandra organised local taxis who gave us phenomenal information on our way from the airport, and a food pack for our arrival, which meant we weren't scrambling for food when we arrived quite late on the first day!Comfy beds and sofas, brilliant view of and access to the harbour.Easy to navigate the city and find your way back - just head for "Victoria Gate".Quickest way into Valetta involced lots of steps ( several less step intensive walks - definitely check out the lifts at upper barakka (sp?) but we enjoyed the life of the steps!If I had to find any fault with the place it would only be that the shower wasn't very powerful, but it more than did the job so it's really not an issue. I would definitely visit again and would highly recommended. ** Added bonus that the end of the day almost always involved downhill because of where it is, definitely an advantage **

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.

Great stay living like a local. Easy communications and check in. We took up the offer of a pre booked taxi from the airport that was waiting our (very delayed) arrival. Apartment is one floor up 2 flights of stairs in a small block View from the kitchen and living room is of Valletta harbour, across the rooftop area of the neighbouring property, with the seperate roof top terrace giving an even grander view. Worth the 2 flights of stairs from the apartment. Property is a step back in time giving you the feeling of living like a local in a private home. Comfortable but not modern, homely not sterile. In the peak of summer the air conditioning was exceptionally good at keeping you cool. There is a small balcony off the living room that while a little cluttered offers a nice way to start your day with breakfast with a view. Washing machine came in handy, and an additional seperate toilet was a bonus. Wifi was easy to connect to. Short stroll down to the Gozo ferry and the boats to the three cities. Stroll up to the nearby bridge bar and up the steps to all that Valletta has to offer- property is on the edge of the main strip, just along from the upper Barracka Gardens. Perfect spot! One final call out- Sandra our contact for check in and check out was lovely and made sure we had settled in okay. She also provided grocery items for our arrival which was worth the small additional charge. She really made us feel welcome.

Exceeded expectations

Everything about this property is even better than you read! Debra communicated really well, giving us the option of a driver meeting us and Sandra (housekeeper) meeting us and buying essential provisions. Both options were a godsend. Sandra is great- very friendly and knowledgeable. Nothing was a problem.The apartment location is ideal. Easy to get to the ferry to Gozo or to the 3 cities. There is a swimming area 10-15 mins away and the central area of Valletta is a simple walk. You’re close to everything. The bus station is 10 minutes away and you can go anywhere from there.The apartment is well stocked with essentials. It is comfortable with great air con, comfy beds and seating. The balcony looks over the harbour. There is a washing machine- laundry essentials provided.In all, it was a brilliant home away from home. A definite 5 stars!

Great location!

The stay was great, once we got in!There was some miscommunication about what time we could arrive at the property, which caused a lot of angst because we had booked a full day tour based on what we had thought we had heard about the possibility of leaving our luggage early. After about an hour and some frantic texting, we got in, and it all worked out in the end! Very cute place and great location! Would definitely stay there again!!

Great location

This apartment is in the best location to really enjoy Malta. We enjoyed Valetta, bus journeys to various locations, cheap Bolt journeys as well as comfortably enjoyed the taxi pick up and taking to the airport organised by Debra / Sandra. In terms of the location in Valetta, you have 2 easy options of going to the bus terminus, either via the Barrakka lift or the stairs. Food is easily obtained either from Wembley or the Food court and there is also Spar on the corner opposite St John’s Co-cathedral. There are several street food stalls at the bus terminus or pastizzerias in Valetta. In terms of where we were able to go in just a week, we managed bus journeys to Golden Bay and l-Ghadira bay. Marsaxlokk had lots of great fish restaurants and very close to St Peter’s Pool for the adventurous. The apartment is right next to the Fast Gozo ferry, so we enjoyed a day trip where we hired a car for the day to visit remote beaches. My eldest kids enjoyed a social night life and felt safe everywhere they went. Bus services or Bolt supported their travels. Valetta is becoming more popular now and you can see this with more and more bars opening up whether on quirky steps / roads or other pedestrianised roads. Staying at Debra’s apartment means you are right in the heart of the social atmosphere, yet a block or 2 away, enabling you to not be impacted by any noise. Sandra on the ground was very helpful and there to help with showing us around the apartment.

Perfect location

In a quiet area, but just a short walk to all the action in town. Overlooks the Grand Harbor. Close to ferries to three cities and Gozo. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars was because the layout is a little choppy . The living room is small.

Lovely flat looking out over Valetta Harbour

This flat was perfect for us with beautiful views over Valetta harbour. The views from the shared roof terrace were prenominal. The flat itself is everything it say it is online. We used the recommended taxi and the driver let us in the flat, which meant our arrival was easy and uncomplicated. We also opted for the welcome pack for 25 euros and it was a very good buy. Easy to get into central Valetta - either upstairs or using the lift ( 1 euros there and back) it was ideally placed for a lovely holiday.

Marvellous Malta

The appartment was in an excellent location overlooking Grand Harbour. It was comfortable and as described. It was well equipped. We arranged a taxi to the appartment and back to the airport from the appartment and a selection of food for when we first arrived. All went very smoothly. The information pack left in the appartment was very useful and it was equally good to have a phone number to call should we need it.

Just perfect

I know everyone uses that word "perfect" for everything and everyone now. You buy a toothbrush and pay and the cashier says "perfect". How can you argue with that?All kidding aside, it really was. For us at least, and we're picky. We also have a VRBO ourselves.And we get great reviews and yes, some lemons too. To us the place and the vibes are key.We loved the roominess of this apartment and the cool concrete tiles. Two bathrooms and...and the bed was so comfy we looked at the label. Memory foam! Sweet.The kitchen is big and drenched in sunlight from the east. There is a little balcony big enough for a table so breakfast in the morning sun. The location a stone's throw from the quai and the Victoria Steps right into the old town.The sun and the view of the harbor? Aw shucks. "Poyfect" as an ex New Yawker would say.

Wonderful holiday

This was our second time staying at this property and we were not disappointed. However, some aspects of the apartment could benefit from some TLC. Some of the kitchen cupboard doors are delaminating and some hinges do not work correctly. Since we are getting older we found that the shower accessibility was problematic. A support bar in the shower would help alleviate this problem. Otherwise, all was as expected and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Good location and comfortable for a family

The apartment is really nice and comfortable with a beautiful view. There is not a keyless check in which was an inconvenience. We had someone pick us up at the airport to deliver the keys but the cost of that was more than finding our own transportation to the property. Having someone meet us with the keys was not an option by the host for a 8 pm check in. Other than that issue everything was great and Malta is amazing.
