Notes on accommodation
Torre Dei Cavalieri is one of the most prestigious locations of the whole island, right next door to the Casino di Venezia, with its excellent restaurant. There are several wine-bars and a water-taxi service which operates all day including evenings to Valletta. The area is the oldest of Malta, dating back to before 1565 (when Sultan Suleiman the Great and his admiral Dragut attempted in vain to invade) and was defended by the forts of St. Angelo – thereafter the site of the British Royal Navy for many years and now that of the Order of St. John and St. Elmo.
Travel
Airport pick-up & drop-off service available care of our professional staff (extra - ask).
Further details
Among places of interest to visit in Valletta are the co-Cathedral (with the only signed painting by Caravaggio) and the Knights’ Palace, with a very fine collection of firearms and Gobelin tapestries, gifts of the Grand Masters. The old ”Silent City” of Mdina is a must, with its wonderful cathedral and unforgettable architecture. There are many restaurants and bars well worth stopping at, in particular the Xara Palace (“Relais des Chateaux”) which has a very good outside “trattoria”.
Booking notes
Deposit required upon reservation. € 200 cash security deposit at check-in.
Guest comments
"We had a great stay at Torre in July 2009. Photos don't do justice to this perfectly decorated, furnished and stocked property. Stunning view over the marina, from the terraces. Excellent contacts with the owner, great professional on-site staff. Not to be missed." (Valerie DeJour, Belgium)
"Classy, prestigious, very elegantly furnished, unique, the property was great. Super location in the heart of the most interesting part of Malta, very close to Valletta and a key location to the rest of the island (buses at 500 mts). Amazing, breathtaking view from bedrooms and balconies. Very clean and in superb condition throughout, kitchen and bathrooms immaculate, very quiet, cool and exceptionally wide, light. The caretaker was extremely helpful in ensuring we had a fantastic holiday. Stores are at hand and there are some nice restaurants and bars close by. This peerless property is highly recommended." (Howard H., USA)
