Valletta The capital city oozes of history and mystery, which you will sense from the moment you step out into it. You will realise very quickly exactly why it has been used as a film-location for countless movies. The almost timeless authenticity makes you forget exactly "when" you are, which allows you to just enjoy the "now".

On a practical level, this smaller-scale big-city is super easy to walk around. You'll need to walk to really be able to take in all the nuances and details of the signature sandstone architecture.

Around the corner from the apartment you'll find the nearest convenience store, but allow yourself to get lost into almost maze-like streets, and you'll discover ocean views, hidden churches, unique authentic restaurants and lots of traditional, colourful Maltese balconies.

Within the city, walking is by far the most practical way to get around. But in case you need to explore the rest of the island which your soul definitely would benefit from - then you'd be in a 10 minutes walking distance from the bus terminal by the Triton Fountain. From there, you can get basically anywhere on the island.

There's also a ferry that connects Valletta to Sliema, and with the right timing you can exit the apartment and be in the middle of the shopping district within half an hour!

Naturally, there is also a variety of taxi concepts and apps should this be relevant, feel free to ask for advice!

Welcome!

Appliances & Electronics AC

Your AC unit is equipped with both cooling and heating capabilities, allowing you to easily adjust the temperature to your liking, no matter the weather outside. Simply select the desired mode on the AC unit to switch between cooling and heating.

Energy Conservation: We kindly ask that you turn off the AC unit when leaving the apartment. This helps us conserve energy and maintain a more sustainable environment. Plus, it ensures that the apartment remains secure and energy-efficient while you're out exploring.

DEHUMIDIFIER For the best results, it is recommended to leave your dehumidifier running continuously. This will help maintain a consistent level of humidity in your environment, preventing mold growth and ensuring a comfortable atmosphere.

Emptying the Water Tank: The water tank will collect moisture from the air, and it needs to be emptied regularly. When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier will automatically shut off and indicate that the tank needs to be emptied. Carefully remove the tank from the unit, dispose of the water, and replace the tank properly to resume operation.

Water

Whilst the tap water is perfectly safe for cooking, brushing your teeth and making coffee, the tap water in Malta has a slight chlorinated taste.

We recommend using bottled water for drinking.
