About this property

The Most Breath Taking and Historic Holiday Home Ever

The house is absolutely fantastic. It is over 400 years old and has been modified in a very caring way to provide a sumptuous holiday home for adults. Alfred, the owner - has thought of everything - I have never stayed in a holiday home where culinary extras - spices, oils are included together with all cleaning and washing, toiletries everything is provided. There is what we called the cinema room. Where you can sit in the living area - settees and watch TV as if you were in the cinema. Alfred even ensured that there was food in the fridge as we arrived late on a Saturday and shops closed on a Sunday. Alfred arranged taxis to and from accommodation and provided us with so much guidance and advice. The aim of Alfred, is to ensure that his guests have a wonderful holiday. He truly exceeded all our expectations, never before have I come across a host who wants to ensure that their guests have a great time rather than just taking the payment. Being outside of Valletta but within a 10 minute ferry ride, the cost of accommodation, food and drink is about half the price. Not sure, what else I can say, truly fantastic.

About the host

Hosted by Alfred Micallef Somerville

Host profile image
I have been occupied in the travel trade since 1980, working as a representative, tour operator and guide in Malta. I am acquainted with the assets the island and our heritage offers and with the specific requirements of a diverse clientele.

Why they chose this property

It is in a very quite location, in a pedestrian street, void of cars. The town folks can be heard off and on, but this is welcome so-called white noise, which adds to the flair of this ancient town and the fanfare of its people.
It is situated on relatively high ground, close to the encircling fortification walls of the Knights, nevertheless only 10 minutes away from the scenic waterfront and Grand Harbor Marina, with ferries to Valletta and connecting fast ferries to our sister island of Gozo.

What makes this property unique

The property is fully equipped and offers 3 levels and a roof.

Each of these levels, one with an appealing hall and side bathroom, a fully- equipped kitchen/dining with an overlapping living room, the other 2 with each a bedroom (the upper bedroom with an en-suite bathroom) and the roof with sun beds and sofas, offers a high measure of relaxation.
