About this property

Spacious Apartment- historical character- fascinating views over old town & sea

The apartment is located within the ancient bastions walls of Valletta, 500mtr away from St John's Co-Cathedral & Upper Baracka Gardens. Hasting Gardens are within 10 min walk.

Originally built by the nights of St. John the location was converted into a luxurious apartment that will pass on to you the authentic feel of the historical Valletta. It features bare stone walls and massive wooden beams.

The spacious apartment offers its own bureau room with authentic fire place and a massive Neo-renaissance desk, PC&Monitor and free WIFI.
The large Dining Room holds the atmosphere of authentic 19th century antique furniture.
Relax in the Reading- TV Room with flat screen and International TV.

Our guests are most fascinated by the stunning views you enjoy high up from the spacious terrace. An experience not to forget is standing on that terrace and look down over the old town and out to the sea.

The origins of the house- text out of an historical magazine..
Let us move further into South street till we get to the corner with MA Vassalli street, before known as Scotts Street. In house No 9 lived the French Knight Dolomieu who owned a geological and natural history collection.
When the French came to Malta this French Knight left with Napoleon to Egypt. When the French were kicked out of Malta the French Knight asked for his collection to be sent to France and the English General Graham obliged.
Originally the house belonged to the family of the Knight De Budes and later another Knight, Francone (italian?) occupied the house. Later it was occupied by the former mentioned Dolomieu.

Fantastic period apartment overlooking old town

Beautifully furnished modernised period apartment in the old town overlooking the Protestant cathedral and Bascilica of our lady of Carmel in Valletta.The apartment is surprisingly large with two very large bedrooms, office, dining room, kitchen diner , lounge and terrace.Situated 10 minutes walk from the bus station it’s ideal for exploring Valletta on foot, and the wider island by bus. ( top tip get a Tallinja explorer card and go everywhere by bus!)The terrace offers views down over the peninsula.10 minutes from the Sleima Ferry and 5 minutes from some good restaurants .The street below is pedestrianised and quiet. It should be noted that the street is steps and the access to the apartment is 2 flights of steps so worth considering if you have movement or mobility issues. Claus was a great host and very helpful. He helped us arrange transfers from and to the airport which is about 15 minutes away.I really enjoyed our week break and recommend Claus, his team, and the apartment.

Fantastic Apartment

We had a fantastic holiday in Malta staying in Topking Apartment in Valletta. The apartment is very well situated, in easy reach of bars, restaurants and all the sights of Valletta. The apartment itself is wonderful. It is very spacious and its historic background is fascinating. The roof terrace is ‘the icing on the cake’! The view is stunning.

A historic, spacious, clean and comfortable apartment with an interesting and eclectic mix of furniture and fittings - an absolute delight. Very convenient for the city and ferries.

Historical apartment with great view

This apartment is large and very comfortable. The terrace is a great advantage for afternoon drinks. Although the apartment is on a steep street with many steps down, it is easy to avoid having to return home that way! The apartment is only 2 flights of stairs up and the terrace only a few steps further. A better position would be hard to find- in a quiet spot in Valletta with everything close by. Valletta is the best area to stay in but we enjoyed a trip to the three cities nearby. Had 5 days and 6 nights here but could have had another day or two to get to Gozo. Malta is lovely!

Spacious apartment in the centre of Valletta

The apartment is in a unique and impressive old building (lots of steps in and outside). It is very spacious and well fitted and has great roof terrace with views over the City and Sliema - Fort Tigne harbour entrance. It is in a quiet street, but easy walking distance to all of Valletta's attractions.

Great location, excellent value for money and very helpful host.

The property was spacious and very well equipped. The master bedroom and en-suite were finished to a very high spec. There are enough steps to keep you fit and spectacular views form the large relaxing roof terrace. The air con was effectively but the apartment also has lots of windows to let the breeze in.

Perfect location and perfectly quiet

This historic apartment was in a beautiful stone building a short walk from literally everything in Valletta! We were just a few blocks from Republic and Merchants streets, but the apartment was so quiet and lovely to come home to.It was very spacious, with two large bedrooms and three bathrooms. The terrace was warm and sunny for breakfast, but nice and shady afternoon. The views were spectacular. Claus was helpful and answered any questions quickly. We loved our stay here.

A real discovery in a beautiful, historical city

The apartment was truly amazing; spacious, furnished with great care, located in a quiet yet central part of the Old City and with fine views of the sea from the pleasant roof terrace. Claus, the owner, was most helpful and friendly and provided everything we could need. We travel a lot, and can recommend this apartment as one of the best we have stayed in for a long time.
