An unusual, yet very cosy spacious maisonette, with a front garden full of plants, a rustic comfortable staircase and a magnificent library. The bedroom upstairs is large and airy, full of natural light, accompanied by a balcony with a sea view and an ensuite with a corner bath and two sinks and ample space for toiletries. The airconditionner is super silent. The design of the place is unique and unusual. The sitting room downstairs is an amazing place to relax and keeps cool since the sun is never direct on the windows. If you are looking for something totally out of the ordinary, then this is your place. The place speaks of classic, yet modern, of a grand entrance yet a terraced house. The second set of beds are located in the living area, but they are not sofa beds. Have you ever found a bathroom with 2 entrances one from the bedroom, the other from the corridor? The street is not a main road, so though it has a sea view, there are no continuous traffic noises and the windows can be left open at night time if there is a breeze. All windows and the balcony door have insect screens. Try it and you will not be disappointed!

I enjoy meeting foreigners and learning about other cultures. Unconventional hosting experiences, such as lodging in a chateau, on a farm, premises with indoor and outdoor pools, jacuzzi ...... are ideal for supreme relaxation and detachment from the routine of every day life. This place needed quite some imagination. The explosion of plants in the front garden is ideal for nature loving persons. Outside living can have its ups and downs, but what about living inside and feeling you are still outside? - This is the idea of having loads of natural light. The grand entrance is welcoming. The library reflects love for books, but old libraries can be boring, hence the arches, which helped create something more than just a library.

The place is in a quiet residential area yet very close to the beach and there is easy access to buses, local shops and pharmacies. In winter a 30 - 45 minutes walk along the countryside and by the sea would take you to Marsaxlokk, a famous fishing village, with Roman remains and a beautiful beach (St Peter's Pool). There are at least 3 playing fields for children in Marsascala and a beautiful garden next to Inspire. There is a vast selection of good restaurants. Within 5 minutes walk there is a rocky beach and within 10 minutes walk there is also a sandy beach. Many confectioneries in the area are mini-markets. Near this lodging there is a confectionary, a green grocer, a pharmacy, a hairdresser and a hardware store. Buses run directly from the airport to Marsascala (stop is 3 minutes walk away) - numbers 135 and 119 (goes through Marsaxlokk and Birzebbugia), every half hour. Buses 91, 92 and 93 go directly to the main city, Valletta. Bus 204 goes to University, which is close to Gzira and Sliema. People can swim along the coastline of Marsascala. The sea bed is not covered in small stones but either sand or smoothened rock surfaces. The sea is relatively warm - coolest temperature in winter is around 15 degrees, in summer it goes up to 28 degrees.
