About this property

Superb medieval townhouse with great Valletta sea views

Welcome to my Maltese townhouse which I recently renovated in the historical city of Senglea (Isla) in the Three Cities area of Valletta Grand Harbour. It is really spacious with a medieval room.

The house comprises a fully equipped new kitchen with fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, oven and hob. Breakfast items (coffee, tea, milk, bread, butter, cheese, cornflakes, fruit juice, jam, biscuits, hot chocolate etc.) are provided free to guests. There is a living room with a Smart TV and cable service, a medieval dining room and 3 double bedrooms. There are also 2 bathrooms and a spare guest toilet.

Upstairs there are 2 great, sunny terraces with lovely views across to Valletta Grand Harbour and Fort Saint Angelo. The ferry boat from/to Senglea and Valletta only takes 5 minutes. A pharmacy, newsagent, confectionery, pizzeria, butcher, grocer, cash machines & city bus terminus are close by. Airport is just 15 minutes away by taxi.

IMPORTANT
Please note that the standard price is only for 2 bedrooms which can take up to 4 persons. An extra charge of EUR 50 per person per day will be applied if the third bedroom is needed for bookings of 4 persons or less.

Property was interesting and quirky as you would expect from a medieval building. There were some ongoing plumbing problems which Jo tried unsuccessfully to sort out otherwise it would be a 5 star review. Local restaurants were excellent but shops less so. Couldn’t find decent bread anywhere in Senglea.

Lovely spacious house full of character, plenty of little shops and restaurants close by. Bus stop to Valletta a couple of minutes walk or the ferry is about 20 minutes away. Jo is a great host, very responsive and dealt with a couple of issues we had promptly. Locals are friendly and helpful, would recommend this property if you want Maltese experience rather than tourist traps!

We had to buy bedding - a duvet and sheets - because only one of the twin beds was made up, and the room was restricted to one person only. Due to RLS, my partner and I always choose places with twin beds. Guests' sleeping arrangements are personal, not up to the host to decide. It was extremely awkward! One of us had to sleep on the sofa.

Dear Helen, thank you for your review. Every feedback is important to me so I can improve my services. However, I note this feedback is a bit surprising since you never raised any issues at all during your stay. Not once did you mention anything. No message, no call, nothing at all. There was zero communication from you during your stay. Had you told me, please be assured I would have gladly remedied. The rooms were prepared according to your needs i.e. 2 couples and a single adult. And it's a pity you never spoke about it since I have plenty of bedding available. For fairness' sake, you ought to mention the positives of your stay such as the last-minute guest you brought along and who stayed for free. You also ought to mention all the extra towelling I left you. You must mention too all the good food and wine that I left you. You certainly ought to add that you ate and drank everything. So these aspects need to be mentioned for sake of a fair and balanced picture. All this being said, I will try to engage better with future guests and look forward to hosting you again should the opportunity arise.

Perfect property

Had an amazing few days in this wonderful property. Senglea is a great location to explore Valletta and the remainder of the Maltese island(s) and Jo’s property gives you everything you need for a relaxing stay. Well furnished, clean and tidy with everything you will need for your stay. The house has been excellently refurbished and one of the highlights is the roof terrace to catch the sun and have alfresco meals. The property is close to shops and the ferry to Valletta and has on street parking nearby. It certainly met our needs and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again or recommend to others.

We were greeted by our friendly host who also provided us breakfast items. Yum! The neighborhood is very quite and welcoming. Had a great chat with one of her neighbors.

Beautiful charactered house in an especially beautiful area

Jo's house is extraordinary. The space in the house is great. High celings and large bedrooms. The decor and windows are wonderfully authentic. The kitchen is well equpipped for cooking which was important for us. The bathroom is big with a big shower. The floor tiles, stone steps and stair rails were a major high point for us. Such beautiful old craftsmanship. In warmer months there are incredible views from the roof terrace. The area is very special and 2 mins walk to the impressive marina full of bars and restaurants. The Valletta ferry is just 10 mins walk around the marina and very inexpensive.

Beautiful historic place, beautiful views and fantastic host!

I was in Senglea for two weeks, and this was the second place I stayed at because I needed a 2-bedroom to accommodate friends coming from Italy to stay with me. What a beautiful place! Lovely medievel space with stone walls, beautiful tile floors, fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms, a great rooftop view of Vittoriosa and the harbor in between. The property is situated on the square of St. Philip's Church, with an easy and pleasant walk to the waterfront on either side of the peninsula and to the ferry to Valletta. Senglea is a mostly residential area, somewhat sleepy compared to Valletta or especially Sliema and St.Julian which are busier and more commercial and tourist-y. The host Joanne was very helpful and friendly, and communication was excellent! The goodies she left in the kitchen were delicious and much appreciated. After I left I realized I'd forgotten some laundry in the washing machine and Joanne kept it for me and met me to hand it off - very accommodating. Very highly recommend this place!

Beautiful Home and Stay

My group and I had a great time at Jo's vacation home. The house was beautiful and charming. We appreciated the outdoor space (terasses), and that there was a small extra kitchen and bathroom next to it, so it was not necessary to go all the way downstairs to get refreshments or take a cold shower after a sunbath. The house was equipped with everything we needed (a big variety of kitchen utensils/ towels/ patio furniture/ etc.) so that we felt comfortable from the start. We moved around the island by Uber/Bolt, but little markets or restaurants could be reached by feet. There even was a little place where you could take a bath in the water, however it was next to the harbour and not very spacious so i'd only recommend for a short cooling. The old streets around the accommodation were very beautiful and well preserved so definetly worth a walk if you are into vintage architecture. The communication with Jo was always friendly, reliable and fast and she made sure, that we had/knew everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Wonderful stay in Malta

We loved Malta. The unit is 5 minutes walk from the bus stop. The buses, which almost always run on time, allow you to get almost anywhere in Malta. The unit was as described and the hostess was very responsive. We had no problems finding or accessing the unit. Unfortunately during our time there, Malta was so hot and humid, we couldn't fully enjoy the rooftop decks. We did watch some fireworks from up there. There were plenty of fans in the bedrooms, which was good because of the temperature and lack of AC. The kitchen had all the essentials. We cooked the majority of our dinners in the kitchen, which has a glass stovetop, microwave, and oven. The refrigerator and freezer were adequate for our needs. The hostess left us some beverages and food in the refrigerator, which was very sweet of her. Because we were so busy touring, we did not use the TV or living room. There were plenty of small shops for food nearby, but they were only open early in the morning and in the evening. All of the locals we met were very friendly and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. Most Maltese recommended that we use bottle water, which we did. This is because the water is extremely hard, not because of any sanitary reasons. I drank the water frequently, with no ill effects. We used the washer frequently as our clothes got sweaty from all our touring. They dried quickly on the clothesline, despite the humidity. I really loved the fact that the unit was so historic. The floor tiles, the stairs, even the limestone walls; it was all so quaint. All in all, it was a great trip and we plan on coming back to Malta in the future.

Dear Donald and Marjorie I am glad you liked my welcome pack and that you had a good holiday here and in Sicily. Note also taken of your feedback. Thanks also for your genuine and well-meant advice on aspects that can be improved. I really appreciate it and I will see to it depending on the timeframes in between bookings. The Mediterranean area is always very warm at this time of year and heatwaves are common. This results in sweltering temperatures in places with a tropical climate like Malta. Some visitors can take it while others can take it less. My advice for visiting such places is to do so in Spring or Autumn when the air is fresher. Thanks again for your words of advice and your review. I hope to see you again in future. All the best, Jo

Hervorragend

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in diesem wunderschönen Objekt sehr genossen. Jo war jederzeit erreichbar für ev. Fragen und Wünsche. Ein persönliches Kennenlernen wäre noch schön gewesen, aber es hat ja auch so alles gut funktioniert. Alles war sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Haus verfügt über 2 Etagen (unten Küche und Wohnen, Waschmaschine, Trockner + kleines WC etc.), dort war es angenehm kühl. 1. Etage = Schlafen und Bad. Hier allerdings sehr warm, es gab Ventilatoren, aber die reichen bei Außentemperaturen von ca. 30 Grad + irgendwann nicht mehr gut aus. Wer wärmeempfindlich ist, sollte ein Objekt mit Klimaanlage wählen! Darüber ging es hoch zur doppelstöckigen sehr großen Dachterrasse mit wundervollem Blick auf Valletta. Dort oben gab es nochmal eine Miniküche mit Kühlschrank (diese müsste allerdings dringend gründlich gereinigt werden (sehr verschmutzt + Schimmel!), sowie einem kleinen Bad mit WC und Dusche. Einfache Terrassenmöbel und ein kleiner Sonnenschirm befanden sich ebenfalls dort. Hier wäre ein größerer stabiler Sonnenschirm wünschenswert, da es da oben kaum Schatten gibt. Alles in allem ist die Wohnlage hervorragend für die täglichen Ausflüge. Busstation ist nur ca. 5 min. entfernt. Perfekt. Auf Malta braucht man keinen Leihwagen. Die Busverbindungen sind extrem gut und sehr günstig (1,50 € pro Person, Ticket gilt ca. 1/2 Tag (Endzeit steht auf dem Ticket), man kann damit also auch mehrfach umsteigen. Außerdem fährt unten am Hafen eine Fähre nach Valletta (Abfahrt Nähe Universität) für nur 1,50 € pro Person sowie kleine hübsche Boote (Wassertaxis) für 2 € pro Person. Wir danken vielmals für den angenehmen Aufenthalt! Alles Gute Jo!

Characterful house in convenient, but quiet location.

We very much enjoyed the location of this property, being convenient for a walk to catch the water taxi to Valletta. There was a good selection of waterfront restaurants within walking distance of the house. The immediate area where the house was situated was very peaceful, particularly in the evenings. When we wanted to travel further afield eg. to Mdina and to Marsaxlokk we used Bolt (like Uber) and were picked up at the house. This was reasonably priced and worked very well. We appreciated the fact that the house has an outdoor space- it was good to be able to read outside: although we were not very lucky with the weather. Our host was helpful and responded promptly to any communications from us. We felt that the house itself could have been improved easily and cheaply with some new mattress covers, comfortable cotton bed linen and new towels. The showers would have benefitted from replacement of old sealant. Overall the house was well equipped and represented good value for money.

Constructive comments are always appreciated and my guests' comfort is important to me. Maintenance is planned once the bookings allow a space for the workmen to intervene. The sealant will be checked and if necessary replaced. The bed linen is of good quality. It is not faded and has no holes. It actually washes quite well. As far as I know the towels are clean, soft and fluffy but they will also be checked and replaced as required.

A beautiful house in a perfect location

If you want to get the feel of staying in "Real Malta" this is the house for you. A perfect base for visiting historic sites with great access to Valletta using ferries across Grand Harbour. At the end of the day nothing better than relaxing in the cool of the evening on roof terraces. These have great views over the harbour and if you are lucky see amazing firework displays. The house is very we equipped and was comfortable to live in despite the very hot weather. We loved the medieval feel to the property especially the dining room and the stairs. Restaurants are are down the hill along the sea front and there are a few little local shops to buy essential items such as bread and milk. A few minutes away is the Gardiola Garden with amazing views over Grand Harbour -- great to see the shipping and private yachts coming in and out. One big mention is the host Jo who was so easy to deal with even when booking and was lovely to meet in person. We spent a fantastic holiday here and would like to return again.

Wunderschönes geräumiges Haus mit großer Dachterrasse

Wir wohnten 1 Woche in diesem liebevoll renovierten Haus im maltesischem Stil. Auf der großen Dachterrasse kann man wunderbar auf Valletta und den Hafen mit den vielen Lichtern blicken und zum Träumen beginnen. Unser Abendessen genossen wir täglich auf dieser schönen Dachterrasse. Das ruhig gelegene Haus ist sehr groß und bietet viel Platz. Es gibt 2 WCs. Es gibt mehrere große Ventilatoren, die die Luft kühlen, wir waren im August 2021 in Malta während einer Hitzewelle bei 38 Grad Celsius. Wir wollten kein Haus mit Aircondition, aus Gesundheitsgründen. Es sind nur wenige Minuten zum Hafen mit vielen Restaurants um gut zu essen. Nicht weit von unserer Unterkunft gibt es gleich eine tolle Möglichkeit zu schwimmen im Meer, die wir sehr oft nutzten. Unsere Vermieterin Jo gab uns wertvolle Tipps in Bezug auf Malta und war jederzeit für uns da. Wir sind schweren Herzens abgefahren, wären gerne noch eine weitere Woche geblieben.
