About this property

Seafront apartment with stunning 180 degree historic harbour views

Take a dip into the lovely Mediterranean sea before breakfast!
This is a water's edge, spacious, stylishly furnished apartment commanding magnificent views of the historical Malta Grand Harbour. Accommodation consists of a spacious living room (equipped with TV, DVD, stereo and wireless internet connection) and adjoining dining area. Large doors from the living room and dining area open onto the balcony, offering splendid 180 degree views of the Malta Grand Harbour. The open-plan luxury kitchen is equipped with all necessary appliances. Sleeping accommodation consists of a master bedroom (double bed) with bathroom en suite, a second bedroom with 2 single beds and a third bedroom with one single bed. The apartment is child-friendly, with various necessities for a baby such as cot, baby changer and baby chair. A car parking space is included in the rental.

Vittoriosa (also known as 'Birgu') forms part of the 'three cities' offering quality restaurants, wine bars, museums and an authentic Maltese environment, all within walking distance of the apartment.

Transportation: If you intend to rent a car, a parking space is available in the garage underlying the apartment.

Alternatively, buses leave regularly from Vittoriosa to Valletta from where buses leave to all over the island. A very pleasant way of reaching Valletta is by water taxi or by Ferry bus, both within walking distance of the apartment.

Connie was very responsive by email and her father Francis explained things when we checked in. Very nice.Francis had some water and food there to get us through our first night. Security staff was always friendly, but we always felt safe in the area of Birgu. The mattresses could be replaced, but that may just be us. I would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your apartment, loved the view.

Don't worry about driving
This is a fantastic apartment in a really nice area of Malta. Check in was great with Francis meeting our taxi near a restaurant and then taking us to the parking spot for the apartment and then the apartment. This was great because it would have been very difficult to find otherwise but once you know where everything is then it is easy. I won't repeat all the good things said about the apartment as they are all accurate - it really is a lovely place with superb views. The restaurats nearby are excellent and theTuna I had at Cargo was fantastic ( I had it twice). Getting to Valetta is easy on the Dgħajsas which were 3 euro per person and great fun or the ferry (which was easier for by 82 year old mother in law) for 2 euro each. The only mistake we made was not staying longer as we wanted to see the rest of Malta and were worried about parking and driving. Because of this we hired a car and stayed on Gozo for the second part of our trip. While this was very nice Gozo is a bit small. We would have been better staying here and using it as a base to explore Malta. The driving to and from the apartment was easy and the general standard of driving in Malta was fine (we had heard that it was a bit crazy) - we never felt unsafe. There is a dedicated parking spot that was easy to park in and not tight. Overall a fantastic stay.

Great location
I would recommend this property to family and friends. Perfect location with amazing views. The underground car park meant we had no paryworries with our rental car and the entire building was fully secure. Everything you needed was available. Great support and communication from the hosts.

Great apartment! You will not be disappointed!
Apartment was excellent! Great view over the harbour, with a swimming area just a few yards from the front door. All the important things were there - aircon in all bedrooms and living room, wifi was great & shower excellent. Check-in with Francis was comprehensive, even though we arrived very late. And we were extremely pleased to received the Welcome Pack with water, milk, bread, ham cheese etc. This was a great location , much less hectic than Valetta. Highly recommended!

Wonderful apartment with swim area at the front door!
We are from the US, a family of 5 (parents and 3 young adult children), and this was our first time in Malta. We loved this apartment. Francis, the father of the property owner, met us outside on our first day and showed us all around the apartment, introduced us to the security guards, etc. The apartment is just as described, very nicely appointment and has so many extras for kids, the beach, etc. Our favorite thing about this property was the fact that there is a swimming area right out the front door! It is not a touristy area at all, but locals were swimming there night and day. We also went for a dip at the end of most days and it was so refreshing! The location of this apartment is wonderful, the area is so lovely and historic, we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great Stay in a great apartment
The apartment was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need and exceptionally clean. The hosts were great, very helpful and friendly. The apartment was great - the photos don’t really do it to its credit. Really handy for Valletta (€2 boat across the harbour) and it felt like we had our own pool with the harbour outside the front door (cordoned off for swimmers). There was a parking space and air conditioning throughout - we will definitely have a revisit!

The Most Wonderful Stay!
After spending two weeks excavating at the Roman Domus, I had the privilege to stay at this wonderful property! The hosts were exceptional, very communicative and thoughtful. They provided grocery staples so I did not have to immediately shop, and everything one needed for a comfortable stay was thought of included swim gear for accessing the swim area outside which was so nice! We loved spending time sitting on the deck and admiring the breathtaking view. We did cook some meals and found everything one needed. We really loved this property!

March in Malta
The apartment location was great. Right beside Fort St. Angelo, a short walk to the water ferry to Valletta. The apartment was well outfitted and Francis was very kind to have stocked the fridge with a few essentials., as we arrived late in the evening. If the weather is warmer you can a dip in the harbour a few feet from the official entrance to the Mansions.

Schön, sauber und groß
Wir haben sehr genossen von einer vorzüglich ausgestatteten Wohnung ist optimaler Umgebung. Zum schwimmen nur einmal den Gehweg überqueren, herrlicher Blick vom Balkon über den Hafen und die Hafeneinfahrt. Zur anderen Seite sind es auch nur ein paar Schritte zu Restaurants und Cafés. Die Schlüsselübergabe vom Vermieter war total unkompliziert. Vielen Dank an die Vermieter das wir eine schöne Woche auf Malta genießen durften.

Right on the Waterfront
Very spacious and bright 3-bedroom apartment overlooking the beautiful waterfront of Il-Karkara. Rising sun streamed in first thing in the morning and such a delight to walk down the corridor to see the wonderful view across the bay. Well appointed apartment, comfortable seating and views over the waterfront area so we could watch the enormous cruise boats coming and going through the harbor entrance into Valletta port. There was lots of other water traffic too, local colorful Maltese rowing boats and local ferry boats. PROS: huge amount of towels provided which was a big plus as towels did not dry very well with all the humidity. Large amount of crockery, glasses, dishes, cookware and bake ware. Secured covered parking was provided inside the St. Angelo building complex with 24/7 security. CONS: grocery stores are quite a distance away so you need to plan accordingly if you wish to cook. Lidl stores are located all around the island but not close by unfortunately. We had a car but driving around the tiny, crowded streets was a nightmare. We parked the car and took Uber into Valletta - water taxi to Valletta not working! Entrance to the parking garage very tight - do not hire a large car. Lift stopped working twice while we were there (6 nights) and we had to use the stairs up. Not the quietest place unfortunately as a local cafe/bar between the St. Angelo apartments and the fort blasts away booming music once the sun goes down. Quiet inside the apartment though.
