Guest access
This Savynomad Suite is easily accessible with 3 steps down from St Anthony Street (Triq Sant Anton. Free non-metered street parking lies in front of the accomodation. A parking area is 50 meters up the street. During weekdays 8am and 3pm, parking just in front of the accomodation can be a challenge.
Other things to note
The property has just been completely refurbished but all the original heritage features have been kept and painstakingly restored. Beautiful vaulted ceilings. Lovely honey-coloured Maltese limestone. Although at street level the accomodation offers good privacy with double glazing in windows and reflective glass.
It is good for guests to know that this home is a restored historic 500 year old building that shows the traditional Maltese architecture and the beauty of the exposed Maltese stone and vaulted ceilings. Due to the porous and humid nature of Maltese globigerina limestone and the way these buildings were constructed hundreds of years ago, the honey-coloured stone walls tend to flake a little. Through the stay expect to see some tiny flakes here and there. It's part of the experience of living in an authentic Maltese townhouse in Valletta.
During the office hours when guests are usually away on siteseeing, cars are usually parked in front of the accommodation. So seaviews can be disrupted by this. However, in the late afternoons and evenings when guests are back from site-seeing, one can sit outside next to the door, or as Maltese tradition goes: temporarlily take a chair and coffee table outside next to the bastion parapet and enjoy the harbour views at sunset.
