Licensed Modern Sea-side Apartment with Magnificent and Majestic, Historic View — Malta

Within seconds of waking, you can step from the apartment and into a blissful, safe sea, in the midst of magnificence and majesty, for you are in the heart of the earliest settlement of Malta, which became the first Maltese city of the Knights of St. John, and later the British Naval HQ for the Mediterranean for 150 years. A stroll of five to seven minutes takes you into the historic city of Vittoriosa (Birgu), where there are local provisions shops, and a bakery which is a living museum of a kind. A similar stroll along the marina waterfront delivers you to a parade of wonderful restaurants open for both lunch and dinner. Diving is a possibility and can be arranged with local diving teachers. Local boats can transport you to Sliema and to Valletta, or alternatively the buses are close by. Moreover, this modern apartment is LICENSED by the Malta Tourism Authority and is compliant with all MTA requirements with respect to health and safety (fire regs) and comfort. The property offers three beautiful and tastefully furnished bedrooms one ensuite. The rooms are light, bright and elegant. Each room has an electric fan, and all benefit from the delicious breeze from the sea. The sitting room has a relaxing sun lounger, 2 single sofa beds, ample wicker chairs, and a magically relaxing ambiance to just BE. The kitchen is off the large sitting room area and offers a huge table to gather around. The wooden shutters of the living room open to the terrace and the magnificence of the historic view and to the sea. There is an outdoor table and chairs to enjoy the atmosphere and the view at night. Often this vista offers a great view of the frequent firework displays across the island when festa celebrations coincide with your stay. You look out toward the old British Naval hospital in Bighi, a classical-style building, that is now home to Malta's restoration centre. Beside you is Fort St Angelo. Vittoriosa is one of the towns designated 'city' by the Knights of St.John. The atmosphere is steeped in history and intrigue. A profound sense of silence and peacefulness embraces you as you saunter through the streets of ancient houses and dwelling places. The church of St.Lawrenz dominates. Vittoriosa has been a popular film location and some of the buildings have featured time and again in films that you may well have seen. The Count of Monte Christo, Gladiator, and Troy were in part filmed within the Three Cities. An international marina now plays host to an increasing number of super yachts from all over the world that come to berth for days at a time. Cruise liners gracefully glide into the Grand Harbour of Valletta, and these you can watch from the balcony of the apartment. Life on the sea is constantly rolling by. Always a quiet dignity prevails, and you can truly 'just be'. The Maritime Museum is along the waterfront, and several small museums within the city walls.

Cancellation Policy We arrived on 24th August 2010 to the 31st and we couldn't believe our good fortune on having found such a wonderful location. We received a warm welcome followed by a tour of the beautiful apartment and the first glimpse of the breath-taking view - amazing! The whole complex is scrupulously clean and maintained to the highest standards. The apartment is tastefully furnished, with views over the bay of Fort St. Angelo more than AMAZING ..... Thankyou so, so much - we can't wait to see you again. Roberto Ermino, Italy. Wow! We were blown away by the location: the stunning view... not overlooking anyone or feeling overlooked, ...being one minute walk from proper Maltese living... and only fifteen minutes from the capital via water taxi. The apartment is ideal for young families - no steps, easy to make toddler safe and an outside that is like another room! It was everything that your web page advertised and more. (Beccy and Family, UK. ) It almost goes without saying that we have enjoyed our week in Malta enormously. The apartment is excellent and easy to relax in. Vittoriosa is great for wandering around in and the perfect place from which to visit the sites - a short boat ride from Valletta and a cheap ricketty bus to wherever you want to go to. (Sandra and Colin UK.) Luckily for us that we so fell in love last time that we had to return again. This time we didn't have a holiday... we came home to live in Malta for a week. Thank you so much for the wonderment of it all. (Mary and the boys UK.) We enjoyed Malta very much, and the apartment was brilliant... perfect for young families. (Michelle and Adrian, Berkshire UK.) We all had a great time. The apartment was of a very good standard and your welcome was appreciated. (Sue, Richard, and David, Northampton UK.) Superb place and setting. We've had a great time. Thanks. We loved the view and setting. Absolutely lovely. Nicole and Tom, Max and Martin, Holland. Rules Rates are subjected to change without prior notice.

The apartment is so relaxing and quiet, but has everything you could want. The location is superb, so near to everything but removed from that 'tourist' feel that made such a great relaxing holiday. Many thanks Deborah from us all. David, Gail, Georrgie, Peter and Katrice. We've had a great time. Thanks. We loved the view and setting. Absolutely lovely. Nicole and Tom, Max and Martin, Holland. I know we all miss having that first cup of coffee out on your terrace, our gardens just don't quite compare to the view we had at yours! Thank you for all the help and advice you left for us it was all very useful - especially in finding the bakery! Please rest assured we will visit again, sooner rather than later if its left up to me. In the mean time we will be recommending your apartment and Malta to all our friends. (DKON-T22248)
