Suíte Gunpost - Valletta

A beautifully furnished home has a street-level entrance in a quiet pedestrian alley and only a stone's throw away from the majestic bastions with a view of Sliema across Marsamxett harbour.

The city centre, restaurants, museums, all the nightlife as well as the ferry to Sliema are all only 3 - 5 minutes walk away. Stay here to time-travel back almost 500 years to when Valletta was built, whilst still enjoying all the amenities you might need and want whilst vacationing in Malta!

Only recently renovated, this space is perfectly located in a quiet alley tucked away within the side streets of Valletta, giving you the perfect ambience for a peaceful getaway, whilst still within easy walking distance to everything you might want to enjoy throughout your stay. Aptly named the Gunpost Suites, because of its strategic location in the capital, this holiday home was originally built by the British forces during World War II, as a base to watch over the harbour.

Upon entering the space from the street level entrance, there is a short flight of twelve stairs, the fully equipped kitchen and living area with a double sofa bed. The kitchen also features a little balcony overlooking the alley. The spacious, bright and airy bedroom with an en-suite bathroom is down the corridor.

St Michael Street, or Triq San Mikiel as it is known in Maltese, is situated between the Valletta ring road and West Street. Valletta is Malta's only planned city, with all its street in a grid formation, so it will be very easy to find your way around the city without much thought. West Street is just 4 roads parallel to Strait Street, home to a bustling Valletta nightlife and some of Malta's best cocktail and whisky bars. One more street towards the centre is Republic Street, the longest street in the capital stretching all the way from City Gate to Fort St Elmo. In Republic Street, you will find plenty of eateries and shops, but also the majestic Grandmasters Palace (top of your list to visit) as well as Malta's parliament house just after City Gate. I will include a number of my favourite places in the guide book.
