Guest access
This Savynomad Suite is easily accessible with a few 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 stone arches. Lovely honey-coloured Maltese limestone. Although at street level the accomodation offers good privacy with double glazing in windows.
Due to the porous 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.
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. To curate the building even more and preserve its original authentic features, we've also installed dehumidification equipment. This also allows the guest to choose the level of dryness or humidity she or he wishes or to switch it off completely.
During 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 in the nook next to the window 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.
There is an additional charge imposed by local government (Eco tax). Adults only are to be charged 0.50c per person per night, capped at a maximum of € 5.00 per person. Payment is be deposited in cash by guests at the property or via this platform on check-in.
