DETAILS TO NOTE: Experience living in a typical traditional Maltese house in Valletta. Due to the way these were built hundreds of years ago, some ceilings can be a bit low. That’s because of the handcrafted Maltese ceiling slabs and wooden beams which create that cosy feeling to it. Floor to Ceiling slabs: 2.2 metres. Floor to Wooden beams: 2 metres.
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 especially in the bathroom 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 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. This small apartment is literally sitting on top of a Valletta bastion with breathtaking harbour views. 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 as well as luggage holding facilities at City Gate. A lovely rocky beach is also available within walking distance.
