Why Malta?

You only need look here to see why...> http://www.vallettahouse.com/index.html

This will probably be moved or removed but this is why.
I am in no way connected to the site or property just green with envy

Wow sold, how much do they want for it and where do I sign ?.

No need to sign just send the cash to me

My partner and I have stayed there too. I would not say that Valletta G-House alone was what made us want to return to Malta, but it was one of the factors for us.

We loved the city of Valletta, the three cities on the other side of the harbour and the lovely people. We made the effort to learn a few words in Maltese and one can't imagine what a difference that made.

Here's a couple:

Iva (yes) "I" sound like "e" in eve and "a" like that in arm

Grazzi (thank you) the "g" sound like that in gang, and "z" like that in tzar

Jekk jogbok (please) "j" sounds like "y" in year, the "o" like that in orbit, and "g" like "j" in Jerry.

The house itself was very individual and it felt like we were in a small castle. I have stayed in some other lovely houses and villas in Malta and Gozo but VGH even had furniture that was designed specifically for it! It has something magical about it. You could see that a lot of thought had been put in it.

I would have loved to be in Valletta at the moment. The Malta Arts Festival seems colourful.[/url] We're there in December and we are looking forward to the Christmas spirit (both that which comes in a bottle in particular some of the delicious local wines we have tasted and the Maltese season spirit)

Hi Allan,

Great property that, I notice that they're pretty booked up although there's a week at the end of November!

It just goes to show what can be achieved with a little time, trouble and good taste! This is just the sort of place my Dad was looking for when he came in June but unfortunately I couldn't find anything comparable.

There's definitely a market for places like this and I bet you could earn a pretty packet by investing in properties in Vittoriosa/Senglea (right by the Valletta ferry), and doing them up to this standard. Now there's a thought!

Ciao

Hello Susan
Funny you should say that

I found this one (both) on ......oh no.....Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6636739000&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Does not matter where you find them though does it?

There are several nice properties in Valletta to rent but they are only one bedroom. As you know, not of any use to me.

Allan

Not bad, Allan! Although they could try and do something more on the roof. It would be nice to have a more pleasant area in which to sit out!

So somebody has already nabbed my money making idea! I've always said that the Three Cities will be the next upcoming area in Malta. Saw a report today in the MT about waterfront restaurants opening up in Vittoriosa too.

10 years ago now wife and I booked two weeks into the Fortina. It was August and not just Malta August, they were having a heat wave and I don't do 'that' heat, hated the whole two weeks (or so I thought). A couple of years later in need of a winter break we grabbed a week in Sliema. Oh what a difference, we were hooked and remain so.

We're off again in 5 weeks, staying at the PreLuna, Tower Road and can't wait to again sample the life, friendliness the food and everything Maltese.

Two OAP's now we are also looking to spend at least 2 months there in January 2007. Malta has something for us long may it continue.

Here's one for you Sliema2, and all you other Maltaphiles! Never let it be said that I am biased!

Mind you there were 3 other letters above complaining about this and that.

Already read it Susan but thanks anyway, I read the Times each day while I scoff my lunch.
