Terrace with apartment
When we first saw the terrace, a sixth floor roof terrace, about 50 square meters for our exclusive use, with a 180 degree view over the Grand Harbour, our reaction was “we shall stay here on the terrace the whole week and not go anywhere else!”. Well, of course we did leave the terrace now and then to see and experience what other attractions Malta had to offer, but to enjoy the full moon from the terrace at night and the full sun during the day was a great attraction in itself. (I know you cannot have a full moon every night, but we had it).
Life on the top is interesting. The people around on the other roof terraces, the roar of the salute cannon on the bastion 500 m away, competing church bells all around, occasional construction workers going about their work more or less silently, and the hum of noises from below of people chatting and young people enjoying themselves in the evening (heavy music and discotheques seem to be banished to other parts of the city, I hope they appreciate them there). Besides you can follow the coming and going of the 10 to 15 storey cruisers in the harbour, and a multitude of other ships.
So much for the terrace. The apartment is just normal first class – spotlessly clean and very functional. The reception was smooth and highly organized – except for the taxi driver who was to meet us in the airport; he was not there at the time, but Justin promised to reprimand him. The location is ideal, with all of the attractions of Valletta within a very short distance, and Valletta is a lovely city just to stroll around in.
