Very spacious and bright 3-bedroom apartment overlooking the beautiful waterfront of Il-Karkara. Rising sun streamed in first thing in the morning and such a delight to walk down the corridor to see the wonderful view across the bay. Well appointed apartment, comfortable seating and views over the waterfront area so we could watch the enormous cruise boats coming and going through the harbor entrance into Valletta port. There was lots of other water traffic too, local colorful Maltese rowing boats and local ferry boats.
PROS: huge amount of towels provided which was a big plus as towels did not dry very well with all the humidity. Large amount of crockery, glasses, dishes, cookware and bake ware. Secured covered parking was provided inside the St. Angelo building complex with 24/7 security.
CONS: grocery stores are quite a distance away so you need to plan accordingly if you wish to cook. Lidl stores are located all around the island but not close by unfortunately. We had a car but driving around the tiny, crowded streets was a nightmare. We parked the car and took Uber into Valletta - water taxi to Valletta not working! Entrance to the parking garage very tight - do not hire a large car. Lift stopped working twice while we were there (6 nights) and we had to use the stairs up. Not the quietest place unfortunately as a local cafe/bar between the St. Angelo apartments and the fort blasts away booming music once the sun goes down. Quiet inside the apartment though.

Francis met us out front and led us to the private parking spot in the garage underneath the apartment. He took us up the apartment's private elevator to a fantasic apartment. The view at night and day from the living area is wonderful. Many dining spots right outside. Or take the water taxis, 3 minute walk over to Valletta for 2 euros. Stay here.

Spacious, well-equipped apartment in wonderful location. Connie and her father were a pleasure to communicate with and kindly stocked the apartment with some basic foods and water for our arrival. Birgu is a lovely area and easy to take the ferry to Valletta. Great view of the harbor and the Kalkara marina. Plenty of things to see and do in the area and lots of restaurants nearby. Couldn’t ask for a better apartment or location.

A great location, away from noisy streets but walking distance to town and short walk around the bay to catch the ferry to Valletta. A very large house great for families. With a large master and ensuite and two rooms with single beds in. Picture perfect views and perfect spot for a swim out the front for the adults. A must walk us through the streets behind the church they are so beautiful.

We loved the view and locality of the property and the attentiveness of our hosts but were disappointed by the bed linen and soft furnishings - this could be improved by replacement of sheets and towels and some of the beds especially the room with two singles -the apartment in need of a freshen up and update

Everything from earliest communication to amenities to the location and advice about local transportation was perfect. Four friends had loads of space, and the swim spot just out front was such a nice bonus.

Our short stay in the apartment was just perfect - it's very homely, comfortable and well equipped, and the view was just stunning. Connie was very helpful getting in touch and answering questions, and it was good to meet Francis and have him show us everything (the best attention to detail we have ever had!). Using the underground car park was easy and getting around the area very straightforward. Dipping into the harbour in front of the apartment was so refreshing after a day wandering around Valletta & Birgu - the water lovely even in October. Definitely will be recommending this apartment to others!

The apartment was very large and had everything we needed including a large kitchen, sitting area and dining table. The bedrooms were neat and comfortable with plenty of dresser and cupboard space. Steps away from the apartment we were able to swim in a sectioned area where the water was lovely, note the water is deep, accessible by ladder, no beach.
Our host also provided some tea, milk sugar, ham cheese, butter and bread. We had a wonderful stay.
There are several cafes, restaurants, and gelato bars near by. Be sure to go up the hill to visit a several more restaurants.
Also try the little boats from the arch to Valletta, much more fun than the ferry! And the three harbours boat tour is also very good.

This super pleasant apartment has floor to ceiling, wall to wall view of the bay from the living area with balconies that directly overlook. the water. The front door is reached by a pedestrian only stone walkway that is immediately next to the water and very private. There is absolutely no sense of being cooped up or enclosed by surrounding buildings. The listing cannot convey how charming and pleasant this place is! I highly recommend it.
The ferry and buses are within easy walking distance and Birgu is a charming area with good restaurants. Many fewer tourists on this side of the bay and I recommend it over Valletta. Bolt works really well for transportation here and I recommend it. Warning! If you want real coffee in the morning without going out to a cafe, you need to bring a can of coffee, the grocery shops only have instant.

Serenity Overlooking the Sea
We don’t usually book places in this price range but in this case it was absolutely worth it! Birgu is quieter and in my view, more charming and sophisticated than other areas of Malta that are more popular with tourists. Lucia’s home let’s you experience the charms of Birgu first hand. First of all, it provides you with unobstructed views of the sea from two sets of sliding glass doors so you can enjoy it from the main living area or by going outside to the terrace equipped with a small table and two chairs. The kitchen is larger and better equipped than those we’ve seen in our travels in Europe. Lucia provided some milk, luncheon meat, butter and bread to get us started and there was coffee, tea and basic condiments available as well. The bedrooms are light and airy and the bed in the master very comfortable. There is a rain shower head in the master bathroom and a second bathroom gives you a tub/shower as another option. The entire space is tastefully appointed and spotlessly clean. Lucia’s father, Francis, was thoughtful and gracious. What a lovely gentleman! The weather was rainy and windy while we were there so having this beautiful space with amazing views to stay in saved our experience of Malta. At every opportunity we ventured out into the community for walks or to grab a bite to eat. The restaurants in the area are quite good and the streets quiet enough to allow lovely strolls through the quaint and charming neighborhoods. There are many spots that offer lovely views of Malta and buses and ferries (not available to us because of rough seas) you can take to go to other locations such as Valletta (beautiful but busy) or St. Paul’s Bay. Enjoy the fascinating history of Malta and stay at Lucia’s, you will be glad you did!

Connie’s flat is bright, spacious, private and quiet, all features quite hard to find in the capital. It was well and generously equipped with everything we needed, including a welcome pack, and spotlessly clean. Check-in and departure were very easy - warm thanks to Francis. Car parking is a great bonus, with Eugene the excellent porter, and regular security checks. And most of all the spectacular views from the balcony. We were fortunate to coincide with Independence Day, and had a grandstand view of the fireworks in the harbour. A terrific visit. No question we’d like to come back!

Fabulous Apartment and location, amazing hosts
A real review would take me a VERY long time. Suffice to say that in our nearly 20 years of travel with VRBO, Connie’s apartment (with her super sweet dad Francis) ranks in the top 5 or fewer of the complete package of amenities, location, cleanliness, hospitality. Did I mention location? After 10 days exploring Malta’s various options I’d unhesitatingly recommend Birgu as your base for exploring Malta and Connie’s fantastic apartment . From our family to yours Connie, thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Perfect for our family week in Malta and for exploring the three cities and Valletta. Really enjoyed the ease of walking to restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, sights and also swimming off the rocks just in front of the apartment building. Very helpful and friendly owners.

What a fabulous place
Connie and her Father were brilliant hosts, I had everything that I needed,
Just wished that the sun would have been on balcony all day!!
But it did encourage me to do more exploring to places I hadn’t seen in many previous visits to Malta.
Thank you both.
