GUEST ACCESS: Salt is set in the idyllic pedestrian Battery Street with easy low steps which the Grand Masters of Malta used with their horses to reach their headquarters nearby at Auberge de Castille. The accomodation is easily accessible by car from St Anthony Street (Triq Sant Anton). Free non-metered street parking lies around the corner. During weekdays between 8am and 3pm, parking in the vicinity can be a challenge . However most guests are out with their car during that time and usually get back to park later in the afternoon when free car parking is much more available closeby.
DETAILS TO NOTE: Experience living in a typical traditional Maltese house in Valletta. Due to the way these buildings were constructed hundreds of years ago, ceilings in this apartment can be a bit low for some tall people. That’s because of the handcrafted Maltese ceiling slabs and wooden beams which create that cosy feeling to it. Floor to Ceiling slabs: 2 metres. Floor to Wooden beams: 1.88 metres.
It is good for guests to know that this home is a restored historic 500 year old building that shows the traditional Maltese architecture and the beauty of the exposed Maltese stone. Also due to the porous nature of Maltese globigerina limestone , the honey-coloured stone walls tend to flake a little. Through the stay expect to see some tiny flakes here and there. It’s part of the experience of living in an authentic Maltese historic property in Valletta.
NEIGHBOURHOOD: Typical Maltese neighborhood. Lovely helpful people and the bustle of Valletta is only a stone’s throw away. The street is a lovely typical Valletta pedestrian stepped street made from Maltese zonqor, so you get the best of both worlds. Just round the corner you will find lovely bars and restaurants. There is unmetered street parking spaces within a few metres from the accomodation. The place has its own washer-dryer but there is also self-service laundry nearby. Lovely rocky beaches are also available within walking distance.
GETTING AROUND: You don’t need a car if you are staying here. You can easily walk to all of the many restaurants, bars, nightclubs, entertainment spots. All the Valletta cultural and historic centres are within 5 to 15 minute walking distance. The central bus station to reach any location in Malta is only a 5 minute walk away. Quiet but central.
Address: 54, Triq il-Batterija, Valletta
I liked everything about this place. It feels like a home away from home. The hosts were really accommodating and supportive throughout our stay. I would highly recommend it.
The accommodation was immaculate. It was really quiet, no traffic since this is a pedestrian street. It is highly equipped with all the conveniences that you need. The furnishings in the room were comfortable, spotlessly clean and well maintained.
