Water's edge 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.

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.

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.

The apartment was amazing with great inclusions. Connie and Francis were wonderful from the inital enquiry to check out. The location is amazing with great parking included, easy access to small boats to take you to Valetta etc. The bus is minutes walk away. We had a great week and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property.

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 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.

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!

Francis met us out front and led us to the private parking spot in the garage underneath the apartment. He took us up the apartment's private elevator to a fantasic apartment. The view at night and day from the living area is wonderful. Many dining spots right outside. Or take the water taxis, 3 minute walk over to Valletta for 2 euros. Stay here.

We loved the view and locality of the property and the attentiveness of our hosts but were disappointed by the bed linen and soft furnishings - this could be improved by replacement of sheets and towels and some of the beds especially the room with two singles -the apartment in need of a freshen up and update

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.

We really enjoyed our stay in Malta , we thought we would have found a landscape different from that we found and we were pleasantly surprised to find such a beautiful and historical atmosphere throughtout the island! The apartment we rented is very large and very well equipped , it is settled in the perfect place : breathtaking view of the opposite cliffs , peaceful surrounding at a stone thrown from the best sight , cafes and restaurant in the islands :we really much liked " Two and half lemon" and " Dom Berto" , two stylish and very cool restaurants in front of the beautiful marina ...would come back soon ! Thank you Connie and mum

We chose the apartment to spend our family Christmas as the reviews were all so amazing. Everything that has been said it so true. Our family of five (all adults) had a wonderful time. The apartment is spacious and well arranged to ensure privacy when required, with good communal spaces for socialising and dining and a lovely balcony to enjoy the spectacular views. Connie's father Francis met us as arranged and explained everything fully. The location is perfect - easy to access the ferry to Valletta, good eating/drinking spots in Birgu. It is so very quiet and relaxing in this old and very beautiful part of Malta - I would highly recommend a visit.

All too often the photos & decriptions do not match the reality but this apartment is even better than it appears. It literally sits on the waterfront and the views are not just beautiful but mesmerising. Connie the host was so very kind as we had to change our dates at the last moment due to a family emergency. With her help we were able to change to a later date and met by her very charming Father when we arrived. The apartment was spotless and luxurioius. It was an easy walk to restaurants & cafes and the near-by villages. A boat taxi and ferry were close by whenever you wanted to go to the main city Valetta or other locations. I would come back here every year if I could.

So pleased we chose this apartment for our holiday in Malta. The location is stunning, with beautiful views of the harbour. We swam in the harbour just in front of the apartment every day. Close to the ferry to Valletta and other public transport options. The apartment is huge, with everything you could wish for when self-catering. Connie's father met us on arrival and was very helpful showing us around, the fridge had even been stocked with bread, ham, eggs, butter and milk. Birgu itself is very pretty, made even better while we were there as the Feast of St. Dominic celebrations were in full swing with fireworks every night. There are plenty of very good local bars and restaurants. A wonderful experience. Highly recommend this apartment and we will definitely be returning!

We stayed in this very comfortable apartment in October. We met Connie’s parents at the “Casino di Venezia” from were they took us to the apartment building, where we could park our car in the secured car park and take the elevator to the apartment. When we entered the apartment we were impressed by the fantastic view!! The apartment was spacious, clean and very well equipped. We didn’t miss anything, basically everything you need during a holiday was there. Connie’s lovely parents were great guides during our stay in Malta. They gave some very good tips for lunch, diner and places to visit. The surrounding area contains a lot of nice restaurants at walking distance. In the old Birgu area there are some small shops, restaurants and places to drink coffee. Also Valletta is easy to reach with a watertaxi. A great place to spend your Holiday in Malta, one of the best places we stayed at in a long time!

We stayed a week at this well appointed apartment with friends. Francis met us from the taxi and showed us around the apartment. Having arrived mid afternoon on Sunday in sunshine we were amazed to see rain on Monday morning. It continued to rain for 4 days which was such a shame. The view from the living/dining/kitchen area is amazing. We didn't make use of the swimming platform just below the apartment as the sea was just too rough but on a sunny hot day, it would be wonderful. Because the weather was so bad we spent most of the days sight seeing inside museums or churches. On the day that we had hoped to go on a boat trip to the Blue Grotto, the sea was too rough and we also didn't go to Comino and the blue lagoon for the same reason. Such a pity as I am sure if the weather had been better we would have loved swimming etc. The apartment itself is very well equipped and in a peaceful area. As someone else has already said, it needs some refurbishment especially the en suite shower room but it was spotlessly clean. Local shops tend to close at midday until 4pm and are a little limited in provisions. It wasn't a problem for us as we ate out for most meals. Would I recommend the apartment? Definitely. One day we hope to visit again.
