Our property is on one floor, it has a central yard and front garden. Guest bedrooms are air conditioned. During Winter the whole house is heated. Continental breakfast is served in the kitchen. The sea is five minutes away on foot, with rocky and sandy beaches. Restaurants and snack bars are various and small stores are in the vicinity if one wish to buy foodstuff and drinks. Marsaxlokk fishing village is only 20 minutes away on foot or 5 mins away by bus. From Marsaxlokk one can proceed to the famous St Peter's pool a rocky beach with white sand at the bottom, some 20 minutes away on foot from Marsaxlokk. There is no transport to St Peter's Pool unless one wish to rent a car, take a taxi or walk. Maltese history is vast and covers 6000years from the first inhabitants of Malta. Ghar Dalam museum is the location where the first Maltese inhabitants dwelled and is only 10 mins away on foot from our property. So it is a must see together with the famous Hypogeum an underground temple some 6kms away. Bus no 119 from the airport and bus no. 85 from Valletta stop on same bus stop namely MERZUQ only 50 metres away from home.
At home it is me and my husband Raymond. We are both Maltese nationals from Maltese parents and we are both pensioners. We have two pet cats Holly and Jessica and a dog named Bobo. In the area there are few stray cats of which I feed one or two of them. So you may see them roaming around in the front garden. During Summer we spend some of our free time by the sea and in Winter when the weather permits walking in the countryside is the best option. We love going to Gozo for a day trip or so and love to travel abroad too. We do our best to make our guests feel at home and try to give the best advice as to where our guests plan to visit or eat out while in Malta.
Property situated between Birzebbuga and Marsaxlokk. There is a long promenade by the sea. Restaurants and take away are various. Sandy and rocky beaches too. Hop on hop off bus for south trip stops at Ghar Dalam museum, some 300 metres away. Birzebbuga is a bustling town both with the influx of people who come for a swim, eat out at the restaurants, walks on the promenade, and also since it is the main port for transhipment of containers one of the main activity of the Maltese economy. Tourism too is part of the Maltese economy for which Birzebbuga, Marsaxlokk, towns like Zejtun, Tarxien, Zurrieq, Marsascala which are in close proximity to Birzebbuga and historical sites contribute and offer that unique experience to the tourists. One can only experience this if one visits Malta and be part of the Maltese local life especially in the south of Malta where traditions are still alive.
