About this property

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 Android box for streaming movies, series, YouTube, your Netflix account, etc. 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 steps so is ideal for families with young children too. Please let us know if you would like us to provide you with a cot or any other requests from 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.

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.

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!

Merci Arthur, pour votre disponibilité et votre accueil
En centre-ville de la Valette ou tout peut se faire à pied , c’est parfait pour deux personnes. La chambre est très agréable. Le séjour reste un peu sombre mais il y a tant de choses à faire sur place qu’on y passe peu de temps.
