About this apartment rental

Horizon is but one of just 2 villa apartments at this location, with all amenities in this exclusive part of Malta. Quiet and peaceful yet only minutes away from the entertainment hub of Paceville and the more popular St. Julians Bay with its many restaurants and great bars. Properties also enjoys the use of a large swimming pool (41 sq m), various garden and pool furniture, gazebo seating for 8, barbecue area with its own fridge and kitchen facilities, shower and WC facilities by pool area. Deck area has been extended making more space for our guests; this was also upgraded with exclusive floor/wall lights, new tiling, new deck area furniture and more trees for a true tropical feeling.

The pool area and most of the deck area has recently been installed with a retractable cover; the pool will be heated and the area has been upgraded to host an exclusive experience even for our autumn/winter guests. Access to pool area is via wooden bridge over large cascading koy fish pond. A further gazebo with vine tree is adjacent to a smaller water turtle pond. Very romantic setting in this hilltop area with extensive views of Malta, where the tropical garden and the cascading waters from the fish ponds continue to add to the serenity that the whole place seems to create.

Our pets: Our garden, although small, is very mature and extremely well kept, providing a tranquil atmosphere, also helped by the sound of the cascading waters in the background. Our own pets, (cats and dog), other than the koy fish and turtles already mentioned, also have their own separate dens, and are well kept, pampered and cared for.

For those who want more out of their holiday: The pool and garden areas have proven to be a refreshing start or close to any day, particularly if this was a warm or even a blistering one. But Malta has much more to offer than just lazing about in the sun. For this reason we have teamed up with some of the most interesting tour, leisure and event operators on the island, providing day cruises around the Maltese archipelago on a Turkish gullet, an evening’s entertainment extravaganza live show on the 1565 Great Siege of Malta, a visit to the nearby water marine park, an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience swim with the dolphins, or how about exploring some of the most interesting dive sites in the Mediterranean. In collaboration with our friends at Go Dive Malta, we are now also able to offer this experience to practically everyone, from beginners to dive masters. Transport arrangements have also been secured for all these events to pick our guests from our apartments (or very close by).

What we stand for.: We have been called ‘a home away from home’ by some of our past guests, a name which honours us completely, and while we continue to dispense recommendations on what to do and where to go during your stay to help you better discover these culture-packed islands, we will strive to live up to that name and better our product.

Amazing stay in a
Amazing stay in a
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay in Apartment 3 Orange (for a week in the end of November 2016)! We are a young couple of 23 years old and the apartment totally met our expectations! The studio was so cute, with a kitchen area (elementary but practical), the dubble bed and the small personal bathroom (With a shower no bath but not a problem for us). there were also à second room with bunk bed but we didn't use it and a television in the kitchen that we use to listen music. We didn't had the time to really enjoy the garden but it was Amazing! It was big and gorgeous! With pool and jacuzzy area (with space to chill), a big kiosk and a little one so romantic and a bbq! However, what did the magic of the place was Paul & Josanne! The welcome was warm and friendly. During all stay they were helpful and attentive. They even offered a lift from the airport in the night for a really good price, they give us some snack and a bottle of water when we arrived, a really helpful map of the Island and answered at all our questions. We really felt like home! Moreover, Malta is splendid! And even if we felt so great in the apartment we had to visit the exceptional Island. If like us you are not motorized it's really easy to take the busses (even if it take a little bit time and don't forget to be at the station 10min in advance because the bus schedule is really subjective). The villa is on a hill and there is a bus station on the top (named stronka) or below the hill (named pembroke). If you are below the hill you have to walk about 15min. Near to the bus station below the hill, there is a big supermarket where you can find everything! As a vegan-gluten free-bio eater I found happiness! There is also others supermarkets and restaurants down there. Thus, we totally recommended this place, it is excellent value for money, our stay was amazing and we never forget the hospitality and kindness of Paul & Josanne!

The apartments are on top of a hill in a quiet (apart from the builders next door) residential part of St. Andrew’s. It’s a 15 minute walk (downhill) to the main road, where there are regular buses services south to Valletta and the ferries at Sliema and north to the beaches and the ferry to Gozo. There are a few shops in Swieqi – a Tardis like supermarket ‘Greens’ and the ‘Brewmaster’ pizza restaurant – which is cheap and the pizzas are excellent. We stayed in the last week of October. Apart from one heavy shower, it was sunny through the week and warm enough to swim in the Med (the nearest beach at St. Georges is a bit manky – its formed from gravel and strewn with rubbish including sanitary towels, so go to the excellent beach at the bay north of Mellieha - Ghadira). I would recommend getting the weekly bus pass (its e12 for an adult for 7 days travel). Now onto the apartment. The outdoor area is cleaned every day and there are terrapins and a fishpond (the water pipe supplying the fish stays on all night, so best get used the sound of gushing water). The description of the property states that the pool is heated by a solar heating system so it’s usable until October. While sunny throughout the week, the water remained frigid while we were there. There’s a friendly dog and a cat. Unfortunately the cat attracts feral cats and these had fleas – two of us were bitten. The main thing that you should know about the Orange apartment is that it’s a basement flat – there are some small windows for ventilation, but no view. You are effectively underground. The 2nd bedroom (bunks), the main bedroom (a double) and the kitchen are separated by a curtain (the room has been rearranged since the photos were taken). The combined toilet/shower is in the smallest possible space – I’m 6’ 2” and I had to open the shower door in order to sit on the toilet otherwise I couldn’t fit. The fittings are all a bit tired with chipped surfaces. The washing machine is rusty and we never figured out how to light the oven. The small freezer compartment managed to defrost everything we put in there. In our opinion it could do with refurbishment. Unfortunately the accommodation marred an otherwise enjoyable holiday. It was the first time we had been to Malta and it offered everything – beaches, history, rural areas, bustling urban areas and M&S. And for various reasons we could not recommend the property if you have a child with a learning disability.

We hebben eind september een week doorgebracht in dit leuke appartement. We hebben erg genoten van de heerlijke tuin, het zwembad, de ontzettend vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaars en natuurlijk van Malta. Zeker een aanrader!

We just spent 11 days in the Orange room and highly recommend the stay with Josanne and Paul (and the dog, cats, turtles, fish). Very warm welcome and really nice hospitality throughout the whole stay, of course, the bonus being: watching ManUtd. getting into the championsl.-final on Pauls fantastic big screen!! Cheers! After the hussle and bussle of sightseeing and going downtown it was nice to sit by the pool in the morning and evening and enjoy our drink (tea!). The walk into town is about 25 min., which we enjoyed, as we walk a lot. Otherwise there is always the option of taking the bus or renting a car. It is difficult to write about Malta itself, as everybody has different priorities - we definitely enjoyed it there. All in all a very nice stay, beautiful island, fantastic hosts, and the lovely dog Toby. Highly recommended! Biggi + Mick

I have just returned from a week long stay in the Orange apartment with my friend (in the month of September - we are both 18) The accommodation was absolutely perfect and was exactly as described if not better. On arrival the owner made sure we had the necessities we needed (as we arrived late) and provided traditional Maltese food for us to eat which was lovely! Throughout our stay the apartment was kept clean/very well maintained, and if we ever did need anything, the owner was always willing to help. Everything you could need to cook is provided (oven/gas hobs/microwave) and the outside BBQ is perfect too. The location was also perfect for us since despite the walk to the bus stop (only around 10/15 minutes) we found it was really nice to walk in the sun or on the way back from a day out. The bus stop provides all the transport links you could need with buses to the main cities and to the Valletta terminus where you can then get any bus to anywhere from (the buses are also very cheap - only 47 cents) To anyone thinking of going to Malta, I would definitely recommend almost all the activities we did! We went to Mdina (the old capital) which was absolutely beautiful and went to the Fontanella Tea Gardens which overlooks the coast. Visiting Valletta is a must - the architecture is absolutely stunning and going to St Johns Cathedral is breathtaking...there are also plenty of lovely restaurants/bars for both the day and evening - one that I would highly recommend is the jazz bar called Malata Bar and Restaurant - It was some of the nicest food I have ever had and we managed to go on a night with live jazz provided - Make sure you check out which nights this is on and make sure you book as it gets very busy. We also booked on to a boat cruise with Captain Morgan cruises leaving from Silema which took us around Gozo and Comino (including the beautiful blue lagoon) and included a lovely buffet lunch and wine, and provided many opportunities to swim in the sea. We both also went jet skiing at Silemma in one of the lidos on the coast which if you enjoy adrenaline pumping activities I would definitely recommend - the coast is perfect for it and you are also able to do it with an instructor if you want that extra safety (for a slight extra charge but it is worth it!) Overall, my stay on Malta is the best holiday I have ever had and would recommend this accommodation to anyone thinking of visiting - it was absolutely perfect and only added to an amazing week! :)

Having just returned from a week staying in Apartment 3 Orange, I only have good things to say about it! Not only was the apartment beautiful, comfortable and set in the most gorgeous gardens but I was made to feel very welcome straight away! Being met with a lovely welcome hamper was definitely a bonus! The pool is stunning and very private with access to a great bbq and the resident pets are adorable and very calm - especially Toby the dog!! The apartments are kept beautifully and it really did feel like a home away from home. Despite not having a car, we found the location perfect as there is a bus stop at the bottom of the hill with a regular service that allowed us to sight see all over the Island. Also, a nearby supermarket meant that there was no trouble getting shopping in either with a steady walk back to the apartment. I would definitely return to this accommodation and 100% recommend it to other holiday makers whether its a relaxing holiday by the pool, sight seeing around the island or nights out in Paceville that you're after.
