What travelers are saying
- YTCHENGHong Kong, China15,393 contributionsMost of the cruise ships docked along Vallette Waterfront which was near to the Barrakka Gardens and old town. It was nice to stroll along the waterfront with many cafes and souvenir shops there. Front there, you could take the Barrakka Lift up to the Victory Square level to continue with your trip in Vallette.Written September 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kate HSouthampton, UK20 contributionsWe stumbled across this little haven quite by accident. A Georgian/Victorian cemetery tucked away, over looking Manoel Island. Having been devastate during the war, it is being restored into a beautiful garden cemetery by dedicated volunteers. Definitely worth a visit.Written March 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland30,688 contributionsSaint Publis church is absolutely enormous and sits just outside the main area leading into Valetta. Amazing statute sitting on the very top of the church which can be seen from miles away. .Written May 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Luv2TravelFarNWideAtenas, Costa Rica1,385 contributionsLovely gardens with lots of plants, flowers and trees from around the world -- most of them labeled. Numerous ponds and fountains. Peacocks roaming freely. Plenty of shade and benches.
Overall a pretty place to wander. Not crowded at all. A perfect break from touristing.Written July 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It pays tribute to the allied forces who had lost their lives during the Second World War. It’s a remainder of Malta’s importance during the war and what it had to endure.Written June 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- R_TheReaderRio de Janeiro, RJ504 contributionsThis is an agreable garden that leads directly to the Triton fountain at the entrance to Valletta. Instead of just running to it, enjoy the Mall.
If you get a bus to Valletta in the rush hour, the driver will probably make a stop here. The walk is short, and this will save time you would otherwise spend blocked in traffic.Written October 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland30,688 contributionsSarria church is a discrete round shaped church just outside of Valetta in Florinia.

- JSC882Valletta, Malta124 contributionsA nice and well maintained garden at the end of Valletta but it is situated in Floriana. Relaxing on the benches after a long walk is a must...... while enjoying the stunning views of the Valletta Harbour you will surely feel better!!!Written August 4, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kenrockape4241Stoke-on-Trent, UK80 contributionsI find that the only effective way to see hidden Malta is to walk. Going round in an open-topped tour bus might suit most people but what do you actually see? Not a lot!! So, Sa Maison Gardens. I found this place purely by accident. I'd decided to walk from the Pieta bus stop via the Floriana bastions into Valletta. The beautiful rustic-style Sa Maison Garden remain unfrequented, promising a quiet retreat in beautiful surroundings.
Set in the fortifications overlooking Pieta' and Marsamxett Harbour, the Sa Maison Garden is spread over five levels. On the highest vantage point is a Gardjola sentry box, which provides the perfect spot for enjoying panoramic views of the harbour, bastions and gardens.
Sa Maison Gardens were used by various Regiments of the British Army as an observation and defence post for the port of Marsamxett. There are several regimental crests engraved into the rock-face inside the garden, and the miniature model of a castle dedicated to the 2nd Battalion of the Essex Regiment which is carved in Maltese stone. You can also see the positioning of two cannon emplacements over the bastions.
Originally, Sa Maison Garden was meant to be a shooting lodge, built by Chevalier Caille Maison in the mid-18th century. Lady Julia Lockwood resided there between 1842 and 1856, which earned the garden the name 'il-Gnien Tal-Milorda'; her Ladyship's garden.
Today the garden is a haven for several specimens of local flora, tall trees and palms and includes a conservatory containing several potted plants. The layout of the garden is as unusual as it gets, with ramps and steps taking you down to the lower ramparts of the garden where you can enjoy a magnificent view of Marsamxett harbour, with the yacht marina and modern complexes on one side and the old creeks and characteristic fortifications of Valletta and Floriana on the other.Written June 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is part of the aqueduct system which brings water via gravity from the higher grounds.
