The property was centrally located and walkable to shops , bars , restaurants and the ferry terminal to Valetta and Gozo. The host was very friendly and helpful, and very responsive and informative. A beautifully clean and tidy, well presented apartment with a lovely roof top terrace.

- MarsalisAugust 2026
We absolutely loved our stay! The apartment is beautiful, perfectly located, and the spacious terrace with its lovely view was a real highlight. The hosts were incredibly attentive and responsive, which made everything even more enjoyable. Just a small note: the beds are more queen-size than king-size. We would happily stay here again and definitely recommend it!
Response from the host
Thank you for your kind words—I’m delighted you enjoyed our apartment, its location, and that terrace view. I appreciate your helpful feedback and will look into improvements right away. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Wonderful place to stay in Malta. The apartment was close to everything yet tucked away on a quiet street to relax. Would definitely stay again.

- KimJuly 2026
Vi var spente på om bildene viste hvordan leiligheten faktisk var, og det gjorde de så absolutt! Rent, alt du trenger var på plass, og det lille som ikke var (grillbørste) ble levert på døren umiddelbart. Herlig terasse, perfekt beliggenhet og godt vertskap. Anbefales!

- DeniseJune 2026
Great location in Sliema. Lovely apartment with great space for 4 adults. Quiet neighbourhood centrally located with easy transport access to Valletta and surrounding areas. Would highly recommend staying in the apartment which was very well equipped. We really enjoyed our time in Sliema and will be back.
Response from the host
Thanks so much for staying with us and for the kind words! Really pleased you enjoyed the space and found everything you needed. It was great having you, and we'd be delighted to welcome you back to Sliema anytime. Safe travels!
- AudreyJune 2026
Just home from a lovely week in Sliema. The penthouse apartment and amazing large terrace was just as described and provided a great base close to amenities. The apartment was spotless and had everything anyone would need. The terrace is what sold it to us and we used it every day. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Malta.
Response from the host
Thank you Audrey — I’m so glad our apartment and that terrace gave you a great base in Sliema and that you enjoyed using it every day. It was a pleasure hosting you and we’d be delighted to welcome you back next time you’re in Malta.
- JustinMay 2026
It is a perfect place to visit Sliema, Valletta and further afield in Malta. We visited Valletta several times from the ferry port, fives minutes walk from the apartment. The photos don’t do the roof terrace justice. We spent a couple of evenings using the bbq and well equipped kitchen. It is also surprisingly quiet, considering how close the apartment is to restaurants, shops and other attractions. We would rent again if in the area.
Response from the host
Thanks, Justin, for highlighting how our apartment’s location and rooftop terrace enhanced your Malta explorations. It’s great to know the BBQ, kitchen, and quiet atmosphere hit the mark. You’re always welcome back if you find yourself in the area again!
- HannahMay 2026
Just back from a fantastic stay at MareLuce Luxury Penthouse. Exactly as the photos show, the flat is modern, spotless and has everything you need for a stay in Malta. The best part is the amazing terrace - this was the main selling point for me as not many central places in Malta have such a large outdoor space and it didn’t disappoint. Had the sun all day and a great selection of seating. I would definitely stay again.
Response from the host
Thank you for sharing your experience, Hannah. I’m glad our apartment and its terrace lived up to expectations and provided the perfect sunny spot for your stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing visit.
- HelenaMay 2026
Big and spaceful apartment. Looked like the photos. The terrace was so nice and a great place for kids to run around. The host was responsive while we where there and their maintenance team came by to set up some sun canopy during our stay so we could get some shade on the terrace. The location of the apartment was good, near bus station and ferry terminal so it was easy to get around. The only downside was that the washing machine was full of mold, but we cleaned that out ourselves and used it anyway. Would stay there again.
Response from the host
Thanks so much for staying with us, Helena! Really glad you and the kids enjoyed the terrace and found the location convenient for getting around. Hope to welcome you back to Malta sometime soon!
- StaceyMay 2026
The place was extremely clean and well located - quiet neighbourhood but close to amenities, the ferry, the esplanade and the strand. Large patio is really nice and kitchen well appointed.
Response from the host
Thank you so much for the lovely review, Stacey! We're delighted you enjoyed the location and found our apartment clean and well-appointed. The large patio is definitely one of our favorite features, and we're glad you made good use of it during your month-long stay. We truly appreciate your patience with the unexpected construction challenges and hope to welcome you back to Malta again soon!
- MariaMay 2026
En virkelig lækker lejlighed med perfekt beliggenhed. Kort afstand til restauranter, supermarkeder, vand og færgen. Selvom vi ikke lavede mad kunne vi se at der var adgang til alle slags potter, pander, skåle og redskaber. God kaffe. Der manglede intet. Fantastisk terasse. I begge soveværelser fandtes ekstra puder, tæpper og håndklæder og der var endda rejseadapter i flere strømstik. Kommer gerne igen.
Response from the host
Maria, thank you for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled you enjoyed our apartment’s location, terrace, and all the little comforts, and we look forward to hosting you again whenever you’re back in Sliema.
- RobMarch 2026
Really enjoyed our stay here. Location is brilliant with being walking distance to the promenade at Sliema and all the restaurants, bars and shops plus the outstanding views that this area has to offer. Great boat trips on offer close by plus the ferry over to the magnificent city of Valetta just 5 minutes away. Maybe not for everyone but the magnificent church of Stella Maris for 6.30pm Sunday English mass just 1 minute walk away. The apartment is superb. It is spotlessly clean with everything you need if you're doing a bit of your own cooking. Communication with the guys at Solea was brilliant. They basically inform you of everything to do with your rental in a friendly but informative way. Any questions are answered almost immediately. Basically if you want to spend time in Malta book here because as I have pointed out the apartment and area is just perfect. Thanks for having us.
Response from the host
Thank you for your lovely review, Rob — I’m glad our apartment and location worked so well for your trip and that our team could help make things easy. We’ll keep maintaining high standards and would be delighted to welcome you back to our apartment next time you’re in Malta.
- RobertMarch 2026
This property was very well presented on our arrival - a credit to those who prepared it. Well located for restaurants, bars and several excellent small supermarkets. Would highly recommend this property.
Response from the host
Thank you, Robert, for your kind words and recommendation. I’m glad our apartment’s presentation and location added to your enjoyment, and I look forward to hosting you again on your next visit to Malta.

Fantastic stay all around! Exceeded expectations.

- SusanJanuary 2026
Bert was a great host. Very responsive to any questions I had, also very helpful in suggesting alternatives for when storm Harry affected our plans & enabling us to continue to enjoy our trip to Malta despite the weather. Would definitely recommend this location and home for visitors to Malta.
- TomJanuary 2026
Fantastic modern and clean apartment in a very convenient location with loads of shops, bars, and restaurants within a couple of minutes walk and easy transport around Malta available on the doorstep. Great terrace and very big apartment. Clean and comfortable; nothing more we could ask for!
Response from the host
Thank you, Tom, for your kind words about our apartment and its convenient location. We’re glad you enjoyed the spacious layout and terrace, and that everything felt clean and comfortable. Hope to host you again next time you’re in Malta!
- UshnishDecember 2025
We came with a toddler and a 4 year old and the apartment was just perfect. Amazing location - right in the heart of the city and literal minutes walk to the harbor and restaurants and groceries, yet the street itself is quiet at night and if you close the windows it’s basically silent inside the house which is great for sleeping. The balcony gives amazing views of the city and lot of space for kids to run around. The amenities (bathroom, kitchen, appliances) are all fully upgraded which is really great when you have young kids. The host was also super responsive and gave lot of helpful tips. The best part of our trip was being able to walk 3-5 minutes to the harbor, hop on a ferry, and land up in Valleta in just 15 minutes! Much faster than taking land transport.
Response from the host
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled our apartment’s central yet peaceful location, kids-friendly layout and quick ferry access made your stay so enjoyable, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime.
- SeungDecember 2025
We absolutely LOVED our stay here. Traveling with a toddler is always never easy, but we felt right at home and really appreciated the space, the location (so walkable and also peaceful at the same time), and the amenities. Loved the abundance of AC units in the home! Loved the outdoor space, even though a bit chilly, our toddler and I loved stepping outside for some fresh air at night to see the starts and see the birds flock by in the day. LOVED having an elevator, especially when traveling with a stroller! HIGHLY recommend to anyone visiting Malta!
Response from the host
Thank you, Seung In — I’m so glad our apartment felt like home and that you enjoyed the location, outdoor space and amenities, including the lift. If there’s anything we could improve for future stays, please let me know and we’ll take care of it. Would love to welcome you back sometime.

Himadrish, thank you for the lovely review — I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you and we’d be happy to welcome you back to our apartment anytime.
- ClaudiusNovember 2025
The apartment was very spacious, and there was plenty of room. The terrace was huge, and we could both eat and relax there. The kitchen was well equipped, and the apartment was extremely clean. The neighborhood was central yet very quiet. We would definitely stay here again next time. The only downside was that the beds were too hard and uncomfortable for us.
Response from the host
Claudius — thank you for the lovely review and for choosing our apartment; I’m glad you enjoyed the terrace, kitchen and peaceful location. We’ll review the mattress comfort and make improvements for future stays, and we’d be delighted to host you again.
- NikolaNovember 2025
The accommodation was great — we felt at home and we didn’t miss anything. The apartment is perfectly equipped, including the kitchen and outdoor amenities… It’s in a nice, quiet location close to the ferry to Valletta. I have to highlight the possibility of parking in the garage, which made our stay much easier since we had a rental car. We also appreciated the option of an earlier check-in upon agreement. I recommend it to everyone. Thanks Nikola
Response from the host
Thanks Nikola for your kind words. We’re delighted you felt at home in our apartment and that the kitchen, outdoor space, garage parking and early check-in helped make your stay smooth. You’re always welcome back anytime!
- PeterNovember 2025
Loved the place and location. Everything worked well and was sorry to leave. Did not need to contact Burt much (good sign) but when we did got quick replies. Loved the terrace.
- SadieOctober 2025
Stunning apartment with everything you need! Great balcony and the apartment was super clean! I really enjoyed my stay and the location is perfect! Bert was a great host thank you
Response from the host
Really glad you enjoyed your stay, Sadie — it’s wonderful to hear the balcony, cleanliness and location worked so well for you. We’d love to welcome you back to our apartment whenever you’re next in Sliema.
- SophieOctober 2025
We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this incredible penthouse! Bert was incredibly responsive and we felt very well looked after. The prime location of the apartment in the heart of Sliema suited us perfectly. The extensive roof terrace was the icing on the cake! We would not hesitate to stay here again.
Response from the host
Thank you Sophie — I’m really glad you enjoyed every minute in our apartment and loved the roof terrace. It was a pleasure hosting you and I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime you’re planning another trip to Sliema.
- SeanSeptember 2025
The apartment was fantastic and felt of high quality. It is 5 minutes walk to the beach which was brilliant. Because of this you get the sounds of the city ( churches, locals conversing rather than tourists. The wrap around balcony was incredible. Sitting outside at night with my wife and daughter and having a meal and a bottle of wine was brilliant. Bert provided clear instructions and quickly responded to any questions. Malta is a beautiful island with very friendly people. Sliema is a great place to stay and Valletta is a very pretty Capital city. Definitely going to visit again
- SteveSeptember 2025
Bert propose un très bel appartement très bien agencé et équipé avec une immense terrasse. L emplacement est calme et proche de l embarcadère du ferry pour visiter facilement La Valette. Je recommande vivement ce logement pour un séjour à Malte.
- WinonaAugust 2025
Unser Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft war eine wundervolle Erfahrung! Es war die am besten ausgestattete Unterkunft, die ich jemals erlebt habe. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt! Bert und Team waren unglaublich proaktiv mit superschnellen Antwortzeiten. Die Wohnung inkl. Dachterrasse ist wunderschön, sauber, sehr geräumig, sehr gut gelegen und alles in allem perfekt! Wir kommen gerne wieder! Eine absolute Herzensempfehlung :)

Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt in der Wohnung. Die Ausstattung war grandios und Bert immer zu erreichen. Wir fanden es besonders schön, dass Gewürze, Putzmittel usw. vorhanden waren. Die Terrasse ist ein absoluter Traum. Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit und kommen bestimmt wieder! Danke für Alles!
Response from the host
Thank you, Sandra, for your kind words—I’m so glad you all felt at home in our apartment and enjoyed the little extras like spices and cleaning supplies. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
- EstherJuly 2025
Die Unterkunft war wunderschön genauso wie auf den Bildern. Sehr sauber, gut ausgestattet und ideal für einen längeren Aufenthalt. Wir waren zwei Wochen dort und haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Bert ist ein außergewöhnlich freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber immer erreichbar und sehr entgegenkommend. Ich hatte mir ursprünglich etwas anderes vorgestellt, wurde aber positiv überrascht und bin wirklich froh, dass ich mich für diese Wohnung entschieden habe. Wenn ich wieder nach Malta reise, würde ich diese Unterkunft auf jeden Fall erneut buchen. Absolute Empfehlung.🫶🏾
