Hi! We're from Malta, and we really enjoy practising any type of sports, mainly swimming and skiing. Hosting on VRBO gives me the chance to share the comfort and charm of my home with travellers from all over the world.

I want guests to feel relaxed and at home during their stay, and I do my best to make sure everything is welcoming and easy. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or spend time with loved ones, I hope my place adds something special to your trip.

Why they chose this property

This area is the perfect balance of peaceful relaxation and culture. The neighbourhood has charming features highlighting the Maltese balconies and character, which makes it such a special place to spend time.

What I enjoy most about the area is morning walks around the bastions, and the close vicinity of the city. There’s always something to do, since it is so central whether you want to the city or to the beach.

It’s a spot that feels both welcoming and memorable, and we love being able to share it with guests.
