About this property

Grand Harbour, Valletta, Malta - sleeps six

The perfect base for your self-catering holiday in Malta, our apartment is situated on Dahlet Gnien Is-Sultan ('the Site of the Sultan's Garden') just outside the city walls of old Valletta, a World Heritage City, and within easy reach of all facilities and transport links. On the quayside just below us is the new fast ferry terminal to Gozo (takes 45 mins, every 2 hours - foot passengers only) and ferries across to the Three Cities.

The apartment has a balcony and large roof terrace, sleeps up to 6 people and is newly refurbished throughout with modern, stylish furniture and new appliances. Click on the photos section to see the interior, views and surrounding area (but our full 180-degree view was too big to upload!)

The apartment sleeps up to a maximum of 6 people and has one double bedroom, one twin bedroom and two double sofa beds in the living room. Modern and stylish bath/shower room, and a second guest toilet.

The accommodation is spacious - 142 sq metres or 1,525 sq ft - light and airy throughout with traditional Maltese features such as the rustic wooden shutters on the windows and balcony doors. There is a separate TV lounge with 120-channel XLHD cable TV. There is free internet access with unlimited data usage. Ample bed linen and towels are provided but please bring your own beach towels.

Large kitchen/breakfast room with lots of character (1960s retro-style) and a dining table seating six, fully equipped including coffee maker, kettle, toaster, washing machine, ironing facilities. We can provide a Welcome food pack containing tea, coffee and sandwich-making provisions for your arrival, if you wish.

The apartment balcony is small but has a patio-size glazed ceramic and wrought iron table and two chairs - perfect for your morning cup of coffee. The roof terrace, however, is very big with an olive tree, oleander and bougainvillea plants, a large garden table and six chairs where you can take your meals al-fresco, and two sun-loungers with a parasol.

Airport pick-up service by our own drivers. Flexible check-in times. Very friendly and helpful caretaker, maid cleaning prior to arrival and on departure.

Spotlessly clean central location

Perfectly located to make the list of Valletta- close to the ferry to Gozo, boats to the three cities and a stone’s throw to bars and restaurants.

Marvellous Malta

The appartment was in an excellent location overlooking Grand Harbour. It was comfortable and as described. It was well equipped. We arranged a taxi to the appartment and back to the airport from the appartment and a selection of food for when we first arrived. All went very smoothly. The information pack left in the appartment was very useful and it was equally good to have a phone number to call should we need it.

Wonderful holiday

This was our second time staying at this property and we were not disappointed. However, some aspects of the apartment could benefit from some TLC. Some of the kitchen cupboard doors are delaminating and some hinges do not work correctly. Since we are getting older we found that the shower accessibility was problematic. A support bar in the shower would help alleviate this problem. Otherwise, all was as expected and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Just perfect

I know everyone uses that word "perfect" for everything and everyone now. You buy a toothbrush and pay and the cashier says "perfect". How can you argue with that?All kidding aside, it really was. For us at least, and we're picky. We also have a VRBO ourselves.And we get great reviews and yes, some lemons too. To us the place and the vibes are key.We loved the roominess of this apartment and the cool concrete tiles. Two bathrooms and...and the bed was so comfy we looked at the label. Memory foam! Sweet.The kitchen is big and drenched in sunlight from the east. There is a little balcony big enough for a table so breakfast in the morning sun. The location a stone's throw from the quai and the Victoria Steps right into the old town.The sun and the view of the harbor? Aw shucks. "Poyfect" as an ex New Yawker would say.

Fab visit to Valletta

A well equipped apartment with superb access to Valletta. Wonderful views across the Grand Harbour from the shared terrace on the roof. The location is brilliant for travel across to the Three Cities with significant historical interest and its restaurants. We had a great time.

Good location and comfortable for a family

The apartment is really nice and comfortable with a beautiful view. There is not a keyless check in which was an inconvenience. We had someone pick us up at the airport to deliver the keys but the cost of that was more than finding our own transportation to the property. Having someone meet us with the keys was not an option by the host for a 8 pm check in. Other than that issue everything was great and Malta is amazing.

Right near the 3 cities, Gozo and Blue Lagoon ferries. Watch the mammoth cruise ships glide right out your kitchen window. The air conditioning is a life saver.

Valletta experience

We were keen to spend time in Valletta and this location ticked all the boxes for us. Spacious. Clean. Close proximity to the harbour and city. Steps away from the lift to/from Upper Barrakka Gardens making the heart of Valetta easily accessible.

Great location !

Apartment was great - close to ferries, lift and buses. Easy to get into town or out to the other islands, 3 cities. Half bath is very small but works. View to harbor is god from the kitchen area; roof also has a view but no place to sit and enjoy the view, sip some wine, etc.

We had a lovely stay n the apartment in beautiful Valletta. Great place to come for a long weekend, lovely people, good food, and amazing weather. We also popped over to Gozo for a day by the sea, and the apartment is perfectly located for catching the ferry. I highly recommend this apartment and the city of Valletta

Perfect location to experience the City

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is lovely and spacious. Beautiful furniture, comfortable beds, great views and nice outdoor spaces (the rooftop terrace is two flights up in the apartment building). We were delighted that our host arranged transportation for us, could have some essentials on hand when we arrived, and that we were met in person to get introduced to the apartment. Communication was excellent before and during our stay. The location is just a block from the ferries, and a couple blocks to be right in the heart of the City. It was great to be able to walk everywhere and close to the bus for our exploring other areas.

We loved our stay at the Grand Harbour, accommodation was in a perfect spot, walking distance to busses, ferries & into to beautiful streets with all the shops, cafés & restaurants. The home had everything we needed & the housekeeper Sandra was fantastic, provided us with a few supplies for our arrival & organising our airport shuttle.
