Valletta penthouse:terrace views of Grand Harbour, Central Valletta apartment, private terrace with

Modernly furnished, fully air conditioned 6th floor apartment in one of the most beautiful parts of Valletta, the capital city of Malta. The apartment forms part of a recently restored building, parts of which date back to the late 1700 & early 1800s. The street in which the apartment is situated and the surrounding area has enormous character and is only 2 minutes away on foot from the main shopping centre & close to various good pubs and restaurants. The apartment has a 50sq/m private terrace. The large 50 sq/m private terrace with views of Grandharbour is breath-taking and unique both by day and night. It's perfect to relax on and for an outdoor meal and evening glass of wine. Fireworks of various feasts happening in the towns and villages facing Grandharbour may often be seen and are truly a spectacle for the senses.
The inside space is modernly finished with 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms, a galley style kitchen and open plan living area leading onto the terrace. The bedrooms and living-kitchen area are provided with airconditioners which may be used for heating purpose on cold winter days. The penthouse and terrace are all for your private use. We provide a self check-in & check-out service in line with COVID social distancing measures as well as a contact number for anything to do with the apartment during your stay.
The apartment is found on the street in Valletta which retains most original facades, luckily not damaged during WWII. You may park close to the apartment if renting a car. Alternatively you may use public transport since the main bus terminus is just outside Valletta - a 10 minute walk to the apartment. We provide guests with a printed manual at the apartment, which we also send by e-mail prior to the stay so as to be able to plan an itinerary.

Air Conditioning Inadequate in Summer
Stayed August 2024. Excellent location. Close to supermarket, restaurants. Apt clean, nice outdoor patio with views. Furniture is sparse. Small couch in the living room, dinette table with chairs. Be aware if you rent during the summer. 2 air conditioning units. Use (per book in the apartment) is limited. Only run one AC unit at a time. Do not cool below 22 C (72F). Using both AC units will cause overload and shut down. To cool bedroom for sleeping turn off the living room AC and wait for the bedroom to cool. Instructions on how to reset the breakers provided. For hot water to shower turn off the AC and turn on the hot water heater and give it two hours. Fine in the cooler months. With extreme summer heat, especially given the top floor location with sun exposure, it was intolerable. The AC could not bring the temperature down. Per the manager this is common in Malta and it is “healthier to keep the temperature between 24 degrees C and 26 degrees C (75 and 79 degrees F)”. She stated they don’t keep the apartment cool before guests arrive as this is “a waste of electricity”. She stated the Maltese hardly switch the boiler on in the summer because the water is hot enough for them without it. Not acceptable and not comfortable. We left the unit and checked into a nice Marriott hotel that had great air conditioning and plenty of hot water for our stay. This would be an okay place to stay in the cooler months but definitely would not stay here in the summer.

Great views over the Grand Harbour
It had been many years since our last visit to Valletta and we were not disappointed..The weather Gods blessed us and that combined with a lovely clean apartment with comfortable beds..plenty of space to hang clothes and good heating and hot water..made for a wonderful stay.. The apartment has a very large private terrace and was a wonderful place to sit out after a good few hours walking in various spots around Valletta…we had a car and found free parking throughout our stay about 5 mins walk…(this may have been because of our choice of month to visit) There’s a good supermarket about 5-6 mins walk and lots and lots of restaurants close by - most attractions very close by - all accessible on foot… We will definitely come back

Not as advertised
The location is great but you need to be in reasonable shape as all roads into the middle of Valetta are up hill. The apartment itself disappointed us as the second bedroom is very small and hence the double bed took up 99% of the room. We felt the apartment needed a good clean and perhaps could be furnished with a more generous supply of soap and towels. The linens all need to be upgraded as they felt old and worn out. The AC can only be used in one room at a time. The view is wonderful. We would not return despite the great view.

This property was outstanding, the views were unbelievable & the location was perfect. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend. Communication was easy, responses were instant & taxis were booked for us to & from the airport. Had a fantastice few days, explored Valletta, Sliema & Senglea using all forms of transport. Some fantastic restaurants with loads of variety to choose from. Overall excellent!

Valletta Magic
The description of this penthouse apartment does not do it justice; it is a fantastic location with superb views of the Grand Harbour and the towns across the way, easy access to the main streets of Valletta and spotlessly clean and well-equipped. And it is very quiet in the evenings/nights as well. If you are looking for a magical place to stay in Malta, this is the apartement to reserve. The hosts made everything totally seamless.

Great apartment
This well renovated apartment is very very comfortable, with a good kitchen, appliances, implements and crockery. The apartment is spacious and there is a large terrace with water views over the three cities with outdoor furniture. The apartment is as good as the listing suggests. The apartment is within easy walking distance of all areas of Valetta and the excellent public transport system can be accessed within a 5 minute walk. Checkin was flawless and our host organised a 5.30am transfer to the airport that was clean, careful and on time. We could not be happier.

Centrally located with wonderful views!
This property has everything you need for a great vacation in Valletta. Views of the Grand Harbor were it's greatest asset. It had also got a great geographic location, close to many attractions and short walk away from the Bus terminus which was very handy for going around Malta. Restaurants, shops and market were also within walking distance. Justin was good with checking us in and we were able to prearrange rides to and from the location when we arrived and departed. Clean and bright apartment. Great Vacation spot to stay for a great vacation destination.

Amazing property in great location
We highly recommend this property if you are coming to Valletta, Malta. It is in a great location, near the Saluting Battery, you can see the guns from the terrace!! Not far from restaurants and bars, the Is-Suq tal-Belt (Valletta Food Market) in a few blocks away and you can walk to meals off going to the Upper Barakka Gardens of the museums located all within a few minutes from this property. Everyone from Sandra to Justin were fantastic. I would recommend using the taxi service and not driving since the roads are extremely narrow and the mass-transit is good. I can't say enough about this place!! 5-stars to say the least!!

Terrace with apartment
Terrace with apartment When we first saw the terrace, a sixth floor roof terrace, about 50 square meters for our exclusive use, with a 180 degree view over the Grand Harbour, our reaction was “we shall stay here on the terrace the whole week and not go anywhere else!”. Well, of course we did leave the terrace now and then to see and experience what other attractions Malta had to offer, but to enjoy the full moon from the terrace at night and the full sun during the day was a great attraction in itself. (I know you cannot have a full moon every night, but we had it). Life on the top is interesting. The people around on the other roof terraces, the roar of the salute cannon on the bastion 500 m away, competing church bells all around, occasional construction workers going about their work more or less silently, and the hum of noises from below of people chatting and young people enjoying themselves in the evening (heavy music and discotheques seem to be banished to other parts of the city, I hope they appreciate them there). Besides you can follow the coming and going of the 10 to 15 storey cruisers in the harbour, and a multitude of other ships. So much for the terrace. The apartment is just normal first class – spotlessly clean and very functional. The reception was smooth and highly organized – except for the taxi driver who was to meet us in the airport; he was not there at the time, but Justin promised to reprimand him. The location is ideal, with all of the attractions of Valletta within a very short distance, and Valletta is a lovely city just to stroll around in. Anne and Axel Moos, Denmark.

A convenient location that includes a large terrace with a great view!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment! We walked everywhere in Valletta from this location, or took taxis and buses from the main terminus at the top of the hill outside the city gate when we wanted to see sites further away. When not exploring all that Malta has to offer, the large outdoor terrace was perfect for watching beautiful sunrises, dramatic skies, and ships great and small navigate the Grand Harbour. And fireworks were often visible in the distance both night and day! At the end of our stay, the apartment management was eager to meet with us to review our impressions and find out what we thought might improve the apartment. Since we love to cook, we felt the kitchen was not well equipped. The terrace could be made even better with some plants and nicer lounge chairs. The WiFi was strong and never a problem (unlike many rentals!), but positioning or lack of power outlets where you need them could be made better (even with a few power strips). The ambiance of the apartment interior could be a bit more polished with not much effort or investment on the part of the owners. We felt that management knows they have a great apartment here and enthusiastically received our recommendations. Another great feature: We loved the fact that we never had to carry keys because of the entry code system.

Great property - not the best location for a wheelchair
Our main reason for this choice was the location for viewing the fireworks and the Grand Harbour and for that it was perfect, the huge terrace gave us great views . It was well apointed, comfortable and spotless. We were welcomed and helped on our arrival and felt immediately at home. We already knew that the apartment itself was not ideal for a wheelchair user as there were 10 steps to negotiate after the lift. That being said it was manageable with a bit of muscle. The biggest problem with the chair was the location of the apartment block and that is just a characteristic of Valletta itself. The block being at a very low point in the town and there being a long hard push to get up to the centre, We could not reach the Barraka Gardens lift to go up to the town as there were also a lot of steps to get down to it, but we did use it to get up and down to the marina. Obviously this is not a reflection on the apartment and its owners. The beauty of Valletta is largely dependent upon its topography and that for us was more than enough compensation for all the effort. However, other visitors might find that they could not cope. Once up in the town there were plenty of restaurants and bars and we especially enjoyed the French Affaire. Overall it was a great stay in a great apartment and I would recommend it to other people.

Disappointing apartment
The location of the apartment is fantastic central for all sights and restaurants.and it was spotlessly clean The large terrace would be fantastic in the summer but as we stayed in inclement Febtuary this was not really relevant However the furnishings are tired and need updating particularly the towels and duvet covers. The heating was inadequate in the lounge area and we had to bring a side light from the bedroom in order to read. A floor lamp in the lounge is a necessity A welcome hamper with some essentials would have been a welcome addition

Great location - but better local information is needed
We enjoyed staying in the apartment, and had specifically chosen it for its location and views over the harbour and 3 Cities. However, the views were considerably marred by scaffolding on the roof of the building in front of us. We would have appreciated better information about the location of supermarkets and convenience shops. The only supermarket described in the information pack was not open on the 3 occasions that we went there and the additional supermarket recommended by the agent was absolutely appalling - dirty and poor produce (and located a considerable distance from where she had indicated on a map). This is a self-catering apartment and we visited during a heat wave and had no choice but to buy bottled water from restaurants and bars until we finally discovered a convenience store just one street away. Prior knowledge of its location would have been extremely helpful. Valletta's fresh fruit and vegetable market is undergoing reconstruction and information about where it has relocated might have been useful. We were a bit surprised that the agent requested 60 Euros local tourism tax - the correct amount (6 Euros) had already been paid. I'm sure this was a genuine mistake - but coupled with her complaints about us arriving 10 minutes early, it did not make for the best welcome. Overall, we found the apartment very comfortable; and we particularly appreciated the quietness of its location.

Outstanding accommodation in Valletta
We love this apartment. We have stayed here 3 times over the past 4 years. Clean, comfortable and well- equipped. Minutes away from the bus, or a quick dip in the Grand Harbour. Wonderful views of the Grand Harbour and the almost nightly fireworks show from the surrounding cities.

Lovely apartment, great views, very centrally located
My wife and I have just spent a very pleasant week in this apartment. We found it to be exactly as advertised being very well equipped and with everything fully functioning. The only "suggestion" I would make would be the provision of a basic food "welcome" pack (bread, butter, cheese, milk, tea, coffee etc) even if this was chargeable and preordered. This would just make the first night more pleasant for those of us who arrive very late at night, hungry and tired and who don't feel up to exploring a strange city in the dark, on the off chance of finding a restaurant still open after midnight!

Great location for a home away from home
Lovely property with a fabulous view of the harbour from the large deck. Air con in every room. Plenty of towels and a well furnished kitchen. Water pressure can be a bit low as is common in Malta. Our only suggestion is to add a few ice cube trays to the kitchen furnishings. The washing machine is a real plus and the elevator a necessity for the penthouse. And the location? Wow, couldn't be better. It's the old Valletta of beautiful buildings and with the gardens, harbour, and great shopping and restaurants within easy walking distance. Booking was really simple and the greeter was thorough and charming. We hope to stay there again on future visits.

Perfect location and beautiful view
We loved our stay at the apartment. The airport pickup we arranged went smoothly and in no time we were enjoying views of the harbor. The apt has a lift which made it easy to manage luggage. The terrace was lovely and perfect for a glass of wine and reading a book. Simply by walking around we found many wonderful shops and restaurants, all close by. The property manager also arranged a great tour for us on short notice, which we really appreciated. All the systems in the apt worked fine - we accidentally turned off the hot water heater but it was easy enough to figure out. We were able to do laundry easily and the wifi worked fine, There were maps and brochures provided, making it easy to find the ferry to other destinations. Really enjoyed our stay - thank you!

Wonderful rental
We highly recommend this rental in Valletta. The location to the center of the old city was perfect. It is close to the cathedral and many restaurants. The agent was prompt at check in and attentive. There was a storm one night that knocked out our electricity. We called the agent and the issue to reset the circuits (and hot water) was resolved quickly. Highly recommend this apartment.
