Spacious Apartment- historical character- fascinating views over old town & sea

The apartment is located within the ancient bastions walls of Valletta, 500mtr away from St John's Co-Cathedral & Upper Baracka Gardens. Hasting Gardens are within 10 min walk.

Originally built by the nights of St. John the location was converted into a luxurious apartment that will pass on to you the authentic feel of the historical Valletta. It features bare stone walls and massive wooden beams.

The spacious apartment offers its own bureau room with authentic fire place and a massive Neo-renaissance desk, PC&Monitor and free WIFI.
The large Dining Room holds the atmosphere of authentic 19th century antique furniture.
Relax in the Reading- TV Room with flat screen and International TV.

Our guests are most fascinated by the stunning views you enjoy high up from the spacious terrace. An experience not to forget is standing on that terrace and look down over the old town and out to the sea.

The origins of the house- text out of an historical magazine..
Let us move further into South street till we get to the corner with MA Vassalli street, before known as Scotts Street. In house No 9 lived the French Knight Dolomieu who owned a geological and natural history collection.
When the French came to Malta this French Knight left with Napoleon to Egypt. When the French were kicked out of Malta the French Knight asked for his collection to be sent to France and the English General Graham obliged.
Originally the house belonged to the family of the Knight De Budes and later another Knight, Francone (italian?) occupied the house. Later it was occupied by the former mentioned Dolomieu.

Perfect location and perfectly quiet
This historic apartment was in a beautiful stone building a short walk from literally everything in Valletta! We were just a few blocks from Republic and Merchants streets, but the apartment was so quiet and lovely to come home to.It was very spacious, with two large bedrooms and three bathrooms. The terrace was warm and sunny for breakfast, but nice and shady afternoon. The views were spectacular. Claus was helpful and answered any questions quickly. We loved our stay here.

Fantastic Apartment
We had a fantastic holiday in Malta staying in Topking Apartment in Valletta. The apartment is very well situated, in easy reach of bars, restaurants and all the sights of Valletta. The apartment itself is wonderful. It is very spacious and its historic background is fascinating. The roof terrace is ‘the icing on the cake’! The view is stunning.

A real discovery in a beautiful, historical city
The apartment was truly amazing; spacious, furnished with great care, located in a quiet yet central part of the Old City and with fine views of the sea from the pleasant roof terrace. Claus, the owner, was most helpful and friendly and provided everything we could need. We travel a lot, and can recommend this apartment as one of the best we have stayed in for a long time.

Fantastic, historic place with beautiful views in the heart of Valletta
What a gem! This place was built by the Knights of St. John centuries ago, with stone walls, marble tile floors, a fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms, and a fantastic rooftop terrace where we enjoyed beautiful views of Valletta, the harbor and Sliema. We moved to this property in Valletta after two weeks in Senglea, and we really loved the energy and vibe of Valletta - very enjoyable place and easy to get to Sliema or Three Cities by ferry. The ferries leave every half hour and it's about a 5 minute walk to the Sliema ferry and less than 15 minutes to walk to the Three Cities ferry. Also the fast ferry to Gozo is nearby in Valletta, but we didn't go to Gozo due to lack of time. There is also a bus station less than 10 minutes' walk away, where you can get to almost anywhere on the island and take tour buses. The apartment was very comfortable and enjoyable to stay - we really didn't want to leave! The hosts Claus and Joseph were very helpful and friendly, and communication was really excellent! I very highly recommend this place, and plan to book it again when I return to Malta in the spring!

Old World Charmer
We thoroughly enjoyed out stay here. The location was great. Our host, Claus was very pleasant and helpful. The property was clean and had a wonderful deck with a nice view as well as beautiful, authentic furnishings. The apartment was very spacious and really had an old world appeal. The master bedroom particularly had beautiful stone walls as well as gorgeous wooden beams. The rest of the place followed suit and yet the bathrooms were beautifully updated and the kitchen very functional. We were appreciative of the easy to operate washing machine which came in very handy given it was very hot temps and we were constantly having to wash our clothes after our day excursions.

EXCELLENT!
We could have not asked for a better place! This apartment feels like your home away from home. Very clean, has everything you need. Location is fantastic; very close to restaurants, bus stop, and main strip of Valletta. View from the balcony was amazing. Claus arranged to have us picked up from the airport so that was a plus to not have to worry about finding the apartment on our own. Comfortable bed, hot shower with great water pressure. We will definitely stay here again.

Historical apartment with great view
This apartment is large and very comfortable. The terrace is a great advantage for afternoon drinks. Although the apartment is on a steep street with many steps down, it is easy to avoid having to return home that way! The apartment is only 2 flights of stairs up and the terrace only a few steps further. A better position would be hard to find- in a quiet spot in Valletta with everything close by. Valletta is the best area to stay in but we enjoyed a trip to the three cities nearby. Had 5 days and 6 nights here but could have had another day or two to get to Gozo. Malta is lovely!

This apartment provides a great base for exploring all that the fascinating city of Valletta has to offer. With five large rooms, there is plenty of space to spread out. And just off the kitchen is a large outdoor deck with spectacular city and bay views. While located on a quiet pedestrian way, there are many wonderful restaurants answer cafes just minutes away. We loved it!

Spacious apartment in the centre of Valletta
The apartment is in a unique and impressive old building (lots of steps in and outside). It is very spacious and well fitted and has great roof terrace with views over the City and Sliema - Fort Tigne harbour entrance. It is in a quiet street, but easy walking distance to all of Valletta's attractions.
