Harbour Seaviews & Roof Terrace in Senglea House

Your home in the Three Cities

Harbour Seaviews & roof terrace in Senglea House is a traditional Maltese townhouse in the charming 16th-century city of Senglea — a European Destination of Excellence. Wake up to the imposing Seaviews of Valletta and the Grand Harbour. Three bedrooms — two with double beds and one with two single beds — 2.5 bathrooms, a full self-catering kitchen, a comfortable living room, and a roof terrace where the harbour stretches out below you.

The lively waterfront with its cafés and restaurants is just a 5–7 minute walk away, and the Valletta ferry about 15 minutes. Hop on a traditional water taxi and cross to Valletta in minutes, taking in the imposing views of the Three Cities along the way. Quiet by day, alive in the evenings — this is Malta off the beaten track, without compromise.

The house is set over three floors connected by traditional stone stairs with hand railings — there is no lift, and the home isn't suitable for wheelchair access. Every room has natural light. The kitchen is fully equipped, fresh linen, towels and free Wi-Fi are all included, and air conditioning is available in every bedroom (it doubles as heating in winter; fans are free). Self check-in by lockbox makes arrival easy.
