Places to Visit once in Malta

When you arrive I recommend you simply go down to Ballutta Piazza (2 min walk) where you will find many cafes and restaurants and the seafront. In this area, I recommend U bistrot, Wigi's kitchen & Frescos for lunches or dinners. Breakfast at the cafes like Cafe guloso are great and good coffees. There is a lot to see and do but these places below you need to get to see whilst in Malta.
You must spend a day going around Valletta our capital city. I do not recommend you go by car cause parking is a hassle unless you park in MCP car park but I recommend you walk to the ferries (20 min seafront walk) and catch the ferry to Valletta which is really sweet. You could also catch a ferry to The Three Cities from here too so it will keep you busy exploring the pretty old cities.

A definite must is to explore our sister islands Gozo & Comino. This you need to catch a ferry from Cirkewwa so around 30 min drive. I also recommend getting a boat tour to visit Blue lagoon which is beautiful. I have a few tour brochures that past guests left in the apartment, that you could look through.

If you simply want to relax at the beach, I recommend you go towards the north of Malta and visit Riveria or Golden bay as my favorites or else Mellieha bay.

Check in Procedure

Check in Procedure I try my best to meet all guests upon Check in or Check out but sometimes timing to arrivals or departures are not always possible for me. This is why I always ask guests to give me check in & check out times so I can try meet with you. I always make it a point to message you before your arrival and keep in contact with you whilst checking in especially when you are checking in through Key safe. I also recommend booking the transfer taxi myself because this way I also keep in contact with taxi driver who notifies me of your arrival. Upon check in, you will find the apartment ready suited to the number of guests sleeping. I recommend that after you settle in, you could go to The Convenience shop as shown below (1 min walk but turning left on the side street) to buy any necessities you might need like milk, bread, toiletries, etc. Or you could simply cross the road and walk down the hill to Ballutta Bay where you will find lots of lovely cafes, restaurants and seaside.
I recommend that after you settle in, you could go to The Mini Convenience shop as shown below (1 min walk but turning left on the side street) to buy any necessities you might need like milk, bread, toiletries, etc
