We went for a week and loved it. Not a beach holiday more for the history. DH loved the military history. There are also lots of historical sights, including wonderful caves. I think all this has been mentioned upthread. One unusual visit we made was to a large house in the main street of Valletta that was still owned by the family which allowed tours. The most spectacular thing was the huge, and I mean huge, underground reservoir tank ( empty of course) where the whole group could stand. It was used as an air raid shelter in the war for the people of the town. We would not have know about this place if we had not been told about it by local lady sitting next to me in the plane.

We love it. We have been twice are going again in June. We stay in San Anton as we like the gardens there and of course the hotel. We like to wander around Valletta which is a real delight. We are not great on sightseeing or beaches so it’s perfect for us. But then we like Madeira too. ?

Sadly Hugo Chetcuti, whose name you saw on several establishments, was murdered about three years ago when he was stabbed by a former employee. ?

Oh I didn't know that! Thank you for letting me know.
