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.
This apartment's great location gets high marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Malta Experience. You'll find features like a water park. The apartment includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Incredible location
The four of us relished the central position of the apartment. Views from the balcony were exceptional for the Fireworks on Saturday night. The apartment itself was comfortable and well appointed We came by car and found it quite difficult to locate, my texts did not get thru to the manager and it was a challenge to find her when I did make contact. These hassles would be eliminated by accepting the offer of their taxi & the manager getting food in would be a good idea

Perfect Holiday
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. We loved sitting on the little balcony watching the cruise ships pass by. Thank you Debra

Loved the apartment. It was very easy to get to Valletta with the lift. Sandra was very helpful with information. Speed boat to Gozo was very close and spot to get the hop on and hop off bus was close. We found using the public bus to get around was very time consuming but using Bolt (Uber) was simple and not to expensive so we did both. My only complaint would be that there was no water pressure so it was very hard to was hair. It was only 13 Euro to get to the airport with Bolt.

Great water views!
This gem of an apartment has great views of the harbor and near by church bell tower. The apartment has plenty of room with 2 different seating areas and 1 1/2 baths. Unless you want to walk up many flights of stairs, the way to get up into the the city center is to use then Barrakka Lift. The churches and Cathedral are very impressive. Be sure to get out of the city to see the Rabat, Mdina area.

Good location, especially if you are taking the fast ferry to Gozo. The water taxis also launch from just around the corner. Very large apartment with lots of space. The kitchen had everything we needed. The grocery is nearby and made it easy to eat several meals at home. Great communication with the person responsible for the apartment. Overall highly recommended!

Great stay overlooking the Grand Harbour
We stayed at this property in December. The vibrant centre of Valetta is a 5-10 min walk up the (steep) steps where there’s many food, drink and shopping options. And a further 5-10 min walk to the buses. If the steps are too much, then the elevator to the Upper Barakka Gardens is a 2 min walk. The wonderful views from the small balcony look across the Grand Harbour to the three cities. It was fascinating to watch the coming and goings of this busy harbour. The apartment was very spacious for our family of 4. The caretaker, Sandra, met us on arrival and got us settled in. For a small fee she also provided some basic food which actually turned out to be a good idea (for our hungry family). The Gozo ferry and 3 cities ferry are only a 5 min walk. I would highly recommend this property. - location to food - location to public transport - spacious - clean - well equipped - washing machine - views - good communication with owner and caretaker.

Week in Valetta
My husband and I and a friend spent 8 days in this Valetta apartment. Sandra arranged transport from the airport and met us on arrival. The apartment was very comfortable for 3 people. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. We appreciated the airconditioning since it was quite hot when we were there in mid October. The apartment was in a very quiet location, very close to the Gozo ferry and water taxis to Birgu. The lift to Upper Barraka Gardens was close by - handy if you don't want to climb up all the stairs to the centre of Valetta! It took us about 15 minutes to get to the bus terminal via the lift. There was a nice view of the harbour from the balcony, over the adjacent building. It was especially nice at night when all the buildings across the harbour were lit up. All in all we had a very good stay in Debra's apartment.

Overall our stay was good
Getting hold of the owners was simple and response was good We were shown around by Sandra (always nice to meet the owner) who did show us how to work washing machine and air con etc and organised a shop so we had enough for breakfast and sandwiches Was a little disappointed that the top balcony wasn’t attached to a room as we thought from the pictures and had to go up the hallway to top floor. We had a little difficulty getting hold of Wi-Fi password as the welcome pack wasn’t to hand for a few days. Just a suggestion that there were written/typed instructions (within the welcome pack) on what to do with waste/recycling etc as the bin lid wasn’t in English and maybe about other appliances with the apartment Also maybe some suggestions of local restaurants in the area and places to visit though there were quite a few leaflets to hand. The above are just thoughts to help future visitors. We did have a great stay in this spacious home and the location was perfect with interesting views of the comings and going’s in the harbour. Go on try it for yourself 😃

Wonderful apartment close to everything in Valletta!
The apartment is just lovely - really spacious, and thankfully the air conditioning works really well as it was 30C and higher while we were there! The beds are really comfortable - great mattresses that were just right (no springs poking into you), decent pillows, and pretty much everything that you could require for a stay in the beautiful city of Valletta. The balcony was brilliant - I loved sitting on that in the mornings with a cup of coffee watching the sun rise over the harbour, watching the enormous cruise ships coming in and out, and enjoying the regular fireworks displays. We also enjoyed the roof terrace for star gazing in the late evenings, but it was far too hot to sit up there and eat while we were there. The apartment is really well located - a short walk down to the waterfront for the fast ferry to Gozo, or the ferries over to the Three Cities, and a equally short, but rather steep walk up to Upper Barrakka Gardens and the main city with all the shops, bars and restaurants. Loads of great food and drink to be had in the city as well - plenty of excellent Italian food, and some wonderful seafood and fish. Debra was brilliant in giving us tips on where to go (Mdina is a must see, as are the catacombs in Rabat - both a 30 minute or so bus ride, and the island of Gozo), and Sandra was also just as helpful organising taxis, food for when we arrived, and suggesting where to go. Honestly one of the nicest properties I've rented, and in such a beautiful city as well!
