Fort villa retreat: Jacuzzi, pools, 2 min to ferry

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviews2 weeks ago

I’m not sure who Jay is as he uses a concierge service but the person I was talking to throughout our trip could not have been sweeter or nicer. So helpful, clear communication, extremely responsive and thoughtful. Just honestly an amazing asset to the trip. You should be aware that the place is somewhat of a maze but it is easy to orient oneself once you are there in person. But the first arrival may be a bit of a game. Also, Fort Chambray is on a massive hill and you don’t have immediate access to the coast on the back side (something we had assumed not knowing the elevation of the place). If you plan to walk down towards the port or the restaurants there just be aware it is quite a hike. And when you order taxis or deliveries we resorted to just meeting them at the gate, which was kind of a hassle. Not dealbreakers necessarily just things to consider. It is a brilliantly unique place to stay, former fort and then psychiatric hospital, you really won’t find another place like it.

Lovely clean apartment. Great communication from the host. Has all you need for a fabulous stay and nice extra touch of fresh strawberries on our arrival. Clear and easy self check in. We had a hire car to get about but buses are frequent. Walk to beach is on a busy road about 15-20 minutes or a longer nicer walk on a footpath round the back of the hotel to golden bay. Some traffic noise on the balcony but quiet inside. Hot tub a nice feature. Would recommend.

We arrived at Anna’s by bolt from the airport which was handy enough, around 15/20 minutes away from the airport depending on traffic. Place was beautiful and well equipped even with extras. Information left with nearest shop etc was very helpful, Anna responded to any queries which was great. Anna’s place is about 5 minutes to St George’s bay (about 15 minute walk) and just under 15 minute drive to Valletta. There is also a bus stop nearby. The loft itself was a lovely space , Bed was comfortable and the terrace was lovely to unwind in. The stairs are probably the only downside but the winch is there for luggage. Staying in Anna’s place added a positive note to our stay in Malta, thank you!

We experienced a very warm welcome and got really helpful recommendations for the area. Paul always tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Long Story Short: The holidays were the Best we ever had and the reason for that was a Great Flat and the Best Host we could Imagine!
