We had the best few days in Senglea! For us, (5 people - 3 generations from 17 to 80) the location of the house was perfect. It was situated in a lovely, quiet, traditional area of Malta but with really easy access to Valetta by taxi boat or ferry. Small shops nearby and plenty of places to eat round about.We loved the lay out of the traditional town house and it was equipped with everything we needed. As other reviews mention there are LOTS of steps both outside and inside the property but it added to the charm for us. We were met by the property manager who was local and so helpful. She was also contactable throughout our stay if we needed anything.All in all the accommodation added to our enjoyment of Malta and we would definitely stay here again.
This was a beautiful old renovated home. A flight of stairs or two from the water front restaurants and grocery. A little warm in the summer with no a/c but lots of fans. Everything you need is provided for and the host and housekeeper are easy to contact.
Stylish town house close to ferry, buses and waterfront restaurants, our family of six thoroughly enjoyed our stay here…

Lovely old house
Had a lovely stay in this gorgeous old house. Very peaceful area and Sylvanna (house keeper) helped us wherever she could. Be prepared for lots of steps. We rated 4 stars instead of 5 only due to the fact there was no television and my parents like to stay in at night and unwind to tv before bed.

We loved this traditional Maltese home in a quiet authentic neighborhood. It was well furnished with coffee and tea and essentials. The bus station and ferry are within very easy walking distance to get to the heart of Valletta in 20 or 30 minutes. Check in and out was personal and easy. Communication was great. The terrace was nice on a sunny day with great views. There is not a microwave but we made good use of the washing machine and the coffee press. As other reviews mention, there are many stairs both in the house and neighborhood - typical of the area. The mattresses could use replacing or toppers as some of the springs have seen better days. Thank you so much for the opportunity to rent this beautiful house!
We had a great and relaxing stay in this charming home. From the roof terrace you have a marvelous view onto the bay.
The house is fully equipped.
Sylvana, the housekeeper, was very supportive whenever we had a question.
Nearby there are small stores for groceries and a lot of nice and cosy restaurants.
A small minus: mosquito protection at the bedroom windows would be great and the sofa should be replaced.
Thanks for this wonderful time we had in your home.
Wir hatten sehr schöne Tage in Senglea. Das Haus hat viel Charme und ist zugleich mit allen modernen Annehmlichkeiten ausgestattet. Der Kontakt mit Victoria war von Beginn an sehr angenehm. Und besonders auch der Empfang von Sylvana vor Ort war sehr herzlich und informativ. Die Lage ist hervorragend. Wir können einen Urlaub im Stadthaus allen sehr empfehlen.
Nous venons de passer un excellent séjour de 14 jours dans cette jolie maison Maltaise.
Dans un premier temps, nous mettons un point d'honneur sur l'accueil chaleureux de Sylvana.
Maison idéalement située, au calme tout en étant près de restaurants (mention spéciale pour le restaurant Aqua blue).
Vue imprenable de la terrasse.
La maison est très bien équipée, effectivement la nuit il fait chaud mais heureusement elle est équipée de ventilateurs dans toutes les pièces.
Stationnement gratuit et facile.
Les navettes fluviales pour accéder à la Valette sont proches et pas chères, sont régulières et jusqu'à tard le soir.
Merci beaucoup de nous avoir permis de visiter cette belle île dans les meilleures conditions.
P.S: il faut être en forme physiquement car beaucoup de marche pour accéder à la maison et dans la maison.
We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay. Communication between the owner and Sylvana was excellent. Sylvana met us and took us to the house which was full of charm and character and in a great location. The people in Senglea were warm and welcoming and we enjoyed the local restaurants and visits to the surrounding areas.
Would certainly visit again

Tolle Lage und Wohnung
Sehr gute Lage, tolles Ambiente der Wohnung. Viele Stufen. Keine Klimaanlage. Im Sommer kann es sehr heiß werden.
Wer gerne das maltesische Leben kennen lernen möchte, aber auch die touristischen Aktivitäten, ist seht gut in Senglea aufgehoben. Das Haus war top. Gut sortiert und hat einem tollen Blick von der Dachterasse über den Hafen. Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub.

Town House in good location but needs some improvements
The house is in a good location with easy access to local restaurants and ferry to Veleta.
Likes:
Good location, shops nearby (check opening times they are a bit random).
Internet works fine.
Dislikes:
The whole house needs a deep clean.
Building work going on next door and down the street.
Roof space is in my opinion is dangerous there is no balustrade down one side and no hand rail to the roof opening.
The house would benefit from AC it topped 38 degrees in June.
Tips:
Download the eCabs App for taxi transfers or Bolt.
Had a wonderful stay at this apartment. The balcony was the highlight and a wonderful breakfast spot. The place was clean, comfortable and both Sylvana and the owner were extremely helpful and accommodating. A number of dining spots within a 5 minute walk as well as the ferry to Valletta. Many stairs in the property which is its charm but need to be able to manage them! Great place in Senglea
Mooie authentieke locatie in een prachtige omgeving. Snel in Valetta via de watertaxi en in de omgeving gezellige en lekkere restaurant in het midden van een context waar de historie nog van af spat. Zowel als verblijf als de locatie waar het staat een aanrader.
Für unseren Urlaub zu zweit im Spätherbst hätten wir es nicht schöner haben können: Das alte Haus besticht durch seinen Charme und durch die schöne und zentrale Lage. Das Highlight ist natürlich die Dachterrasse mit dem Blick auf den Yachthafen. Man wohnt abseits der Touristenströme und gleichzeitig doch so zentral, dass man die vielen offenen Restaurants am Hafen genießen und durch die schönen Gassen von Senglea oder Vittoriosa bummeln kann. Auch die nur ein paar Minuten entfernte Pendelfähre rüber nach Valletta war in der zweiten Oktoberhälfte noch bis nachts im Dauerbetrieb und ermöglichte auch spontane Überfahrten. Wir haben uns zwar für ein paar Tage ein Auto gemietet und sind die Insel abgefahren. Unser Fazit war aber, dass es nirgendwo so schön und ideal zu wohnen war wie in Senglea.
We really loved our home, the Casa Aragosta, in Senglea! It was a very nice week, the house was perfect for us. Every evening we sat on the roof terrace. We made several trips by boat, bus and car and met everywhere friendly people. We loved the short ways to the ferry, to the food markets, to Vittoriosa, Valletta.
Sylvana was a wonderful housekeeper, very helpful and patient with us!
Een heel fijn huis wel erg veel trappen 67 treden van begane grond tot terras Een heel fijne buurt tussen de locals fijne restaurants op 200 meter met de boot naar valletta Elke 15 minuten
The house was lovely - lots of stairs to manage but we enjoyed mornings and evenings on the roof terrace. Well equipped kitchen for eating in. The local area is great with lots of local shops and a fairly untouched feel to it - we hardly saw many other tourists despite it being the height of summer. Transport to Valletta is great on the ferry and buses easy to get around on as well.
We really enjoyed our stay in this property, it is a stylish mix of old and new, the view from the terrace is wonderful. There are a lot of steps to the different levels and in the summer the property is hot but there are plenty of fans in the living area and bedrooms.
The area is super for sitting out in the marina and taking in the view of the boats and it is very easy to hop on the ferry over to Valetta. There is a good selection of places to eat within a very short walk or the kitchen is very well equipped if you wanted to cook yourself.
Slyvana was welcoming and happily answered any questions we had.
We stayed in Senglea for five nights in July. It was hot as could be outside, but the apartment was fresh and airy. Exactly as listed the beautiful historic location was well appointed while maintaining it's historic charm. Each of the rooms felt private and it was easy to have family time and spend time alone. At a time of year when it wasn't so hot the roof deck would be a wonderful place to breakfast or hang out. We mostly used it for a night cap or a late evening conversation. The area is away from the touristy parts of Valletta but easy to get around from. We loved the waterfront and its' nice local feel. I would recommend this apartment to anyone with the caveat that there are a lot of stairs, it might be hard for an elderly person or small child. Otherwise way more than five stars in my book.
We stayed with 6 adults in this beautiful house in Senglea (what a magnificent part of the city) The house is situated in a very lovely street. In the morning it is a special experience to go by boat to the city. It is really an amazing view!!
The house is very comfortable and spacious. The view from the roof terrace is breathtaking!
We surely can recommend this place. You will never forget!

The house is beautiful. It sits in a quiet authentic street, full of the sights and sounds of the three cities. Perhaps the biggest challenge on a daily basis was the June heat, though the lower parts of the house remained cool. Swimming at the point, eating by the waterside and wandering the ancient streets were a delight. The roof terrace in the cool of the evening is magical.
