About this property

"Lloyd House" - stylish 18th century palazzo in a perfect location of Valletta

Suite 2 is on the first floor and consists of two large areas - the bedroom and the rest of the suite where kitchen, the dining/living area and the bathroom are located. The bedroom is decked out with luxury furnitures and an exquisitely restored ceiling fresco. A period balcony overlooks a charming little street which is tranquil and typical of this residential district. The accent in the living room area falls on the very elegant Deco style glass painted ceiling which has been brought back to life by a team of restorers who have worked on some of the major sites of the capital. This fills the entire space and gives a sense of glamour to this suite. This space is ideal for unwinding, and it is set off by vintage Girolamo Gianni etchings in sleek frames to create the ambiance of a Maltese home. The dining room seats four people and has a splendid view of the pretty street underneath; the neutral tones used here contrast beautifully with the vibrant colors of the fresco and make this space very cosy. Extending from the dining area are the kitchen and the bathroom. The kitchen is ideally located with a magnificent view of the Grand Harbour, with all the appliances and amenities, this space is ideal for your meal preparation: in fact, it is easy to source local foodstuffs and try out one of the Maltese recipes. A touch of style and elegance permeates into the bathroom as well. The bathroom is spacious and is equipped with all the bath essentials, thick velvety towels and robes will make you feel very pampered. This space is cosy and all the different architectural and decorative elements work harmoniously together to provide visitors with a relaxing suite ideal for time spent in the capital. Robert, the owner, was born in Malta and speaks Maltese, English, Italian and French will be happy to give you advice and information about places to visit and things to do during your stay, also the restaurants in the area that are worth a visit.

Maltese Eco-Tax € 0,50 per person and night, up to max € 5,- per Person. Final cleaning € 70,-

Wonderful apartment with everything you could possibly need with stunning views and also ideally situated just on the outskirts of Valletta, With shops, restaurants, bars and Vallettas history right on your doorstep you could ask for a better base for your stay, with wonderful hosts Robert and Mary just a call away if required for any information. Valletta is simply stunning to walk around at any time with always something to catch your eye and we will definitely be back for a second stay at some point.

Perfect location

This was a perfect location, close to the upper barrakka gardens, as well as the main walking streets of Valletta. Nicely appointed, and having the view out across the harbor towards the three cities was wonderful. There was occasionally noise from the upper barakka garden area due to events being held fairly regularly, leaf blowers, etc, But overall we really enjoyed our 8 night stay.

Fantastic stay, great location

Perfectly situated, this property offers views of Upper Barrakka Gardens and the harbour. The host was very helpful. The place is very cleaned and well appointed. It also has the charm and authenticity of a Maltese place. Walking distance to everything there is to visit in Valetta, yet away from the loud nightlife (although you hear the famous canons at noon and 4pm.)

Wonderful stay in Malta

My husband and I stayed at Robert’s place for five days. What a beautiful location with stunning views. Robert welcomed us upon arrival and provided some food and drinks. The place is well stocked and was one of the most comfortable places we stayed at during our extended vacation. Easily walkable to all the major sites. We rented a car and found free parking on the street below (short flight of stairs heading south—search Grand Hotel area). Thanks again, Robert, for a wonderful stay!

As Good as Advertised

Beautiful, historic home, in the perfect location for a stay in Valetta and Malta. Our host could not have been more welcoming and helpful, and happens to be a member of a historic Valetta family. With a beautiful view of the Grand Harbor and looking over the Upper Barrakka Gardens, we could not have been more pleased with the location. Very quiet at night, and good air conditioning. We would definitely come back.

Great Location

Great location with a view of the harbour. However as a result it has a very steep incline from the front door. Renovation work on nearby houses was continuous. The cleaning fee was exorbitant considering the floors weren’t vacuumed or washed. The Maltese culture and food was disappointing. Our highlight was a tour of Casa Rocco Piccola and both D’Office and Ambrosia Restaurants.

Perfect location

This apartment was in the perfect location to enjoy the delights of Valletta, and within easy walking distance to the bus station for trips about the island. Our host Robert made us very welcome and ensured we had the essentils: tea, coffee, milk bread and fruit to begin our stay. The 'non essentials' wine and beer were also very much appreciated. This apartment is a delight of classic Maltese style, right next to the upper Barrack Gardens. We found it immaculately clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a 7 day stay. We hope to return next year.

Lloyd House, the Perfect Place to Stay

We were warmly welcomed by Richard and Mary. Our 3rd floor apartment was immaculate, nicely decorated and well furnished. We loved sitting by an open window in the very early morning, watching the boat traffic in the harbor. There is an efficient A/C system once the heat of the day arrives. The bed was comfortable, and linens were of fine quality. Richard was extremely helpful and offered good suggestions for restaurants and getting around the city. We highly recommend The Lloyd House. We will be back!

Superb Views

From the time of booking, Robert was extremely accessible, booking us transport from and to the airport, welcoming us to this light airy apartment, stocked with the grocery essentials to get us going, as well as a Maltese bottle of red and bowl of fruit. We had been upgraded to a more expensive apartment with a lovely balcony, all the way round. We were also able to leave our luggage there after checking out time, as new guests were not imminent The views were wonderful, especially with the sun on the water first thing and floodlit buildings at night. Being in the heart of the city, be prepared for the associated noises, apartment and views out weigh this. Valletta and Malta is quite a change from rural Shropshire, 10 days, as opposed to a week may have given us more time to get into the swing of things We would highly recommend Lloyd House. Thank you for your hospitality, Robert.

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt in Valletta

Das Lloyd House ist die perfekte Unterkunft für eine Reise nach Malta. Kurze Wege zum Schiffsanleger nach Gozo, Birgu usw., zum Busbahnhof und in die Stadt. Valletta kann laut und voll sein. Die Wohnung war ruhig gelegen und ist mit wirklich allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Die alten Holztüren, die grünen Schlagläden, die bemalte Decke und die schönen Fliesen hatten viel Charme. Robert ist ein aufmerksamer Gastgeber, der uns mit vielen guten Tipps versorgt hat und die fantastischen Ausblicke auf den Hafen haben den Aufenthalt nochmals bereichert.

Location, Location, Location!

We didn't actually stay in Studio 2, but Studio 3, which was managed by another couple in the building. It was a fabulously located apartment, making exploring Valletta very easy. I think the two Studios are the same layout, but #3 is on a higher level, so probably has a better view. Our hosts, Robert & Mary, were wonderful and offered suggestions on restaurants and things to do. Thank you for enhancing our stay in Valletta!
