We (two young couples ages 23-31) visited Malta during the month of September. Being our first visit to the island, we were unsure whether it would be best to book a hotel room in one of the more popular towns or else book a self-catering apartment. After much time spent searching the internet we opted for the latter, especially after we saw this property.
Our hostess, Rita, gave us a very warm welcome, and even though we had a slight delay with out flight, she still waited patiently for our arrival at the apartment and greeted us with a smile. The Penthouse apartment is spacious, finished to the best standards and the terrace enjoys views of Mdina and distant country views. It is bright and airy - much better than a stuffy hotel room. It is located in a typical Maltese town, where one can find all the ameneties 5min away on foot in the main square; be it a pharmacy, bank stationery, cafeteria, the local band club, or wine bar. Since Malta is such a petite island, Zebbug served as an excellent base from where to discover the island especially since its located in the centre of the island.
The northern most beaches took us only took us only about 15-20min by car to reach.Since we rented a car during our visit, parking was another important issue, but this wasn't a problem since the apartment is located in a quiet street with plenty of parking space! Another striking aspect were the friendly locals who were always ready to help us with directions. We would definitely return to the penthouse should we visit Malta again. It was an excellent stay!
