A Peaceful Retreat
On our New Years break we decided to book the Loft and was not disappointed, we were helped with the directions by Jesabel via mobiles as we got slightly lost, which was of great help. Jesabel was very friendly and informative, the Loft has everything a couple would need, especially a great bath at the end of the bed that was a complete luxury and enjoyed that very much. In the Loft you have every thing you need with a touch of class. The property is positioned quite nicely away from all the trappings, we went to Marsaxlokk for one our days,,a beautiful fishing Bay with several resturarants and a market place, well worth a visit plus St Peters Pool which was beautiful. Will definitely visit again in the near future. Thank you Jesabel

Splendida vacanza
Siamo stati a Malta per le feste Natalizie, ed abbiamo alloggiato al "The Loft"... Avevo visto, foto e recensioni, prima di prenotare, è tutto risultava perfetto... Ma onestamente, sino a quando non si arriva, rimane sempre un minimo di dubbio e preoccupazione, perché non sai mai se effettivamente sarà tutto come te lo stai aspettando... Ed invece: Sorpresa!! È tutto ancora più bello e confortevole, di ciò che hai visto in foto o letto! Il cortile con tutte le piante aromatiche e fiori, è un angolo di pace; la casa è semplicemente una "bomboniera"... Curata nei minimi dettagli, pulita, ed accessoriata di tutto punto! Devo fare i complimenti a Jesabel, che è stata un'eccellente padrona di casa, ed Aaron (il marito) per la sua competenza nell'arredare e costruire la casa!! Considerate che noi siamo stati lì, in pieno inverno, e ci tengo a dire, da persona freddolosa che sono, che la casa è veramente calda.. è climatizzata in modo eccellente! In più ha un esposizione ideale perché, da dopo pranzo, sino al tramonto, c'è il sole che bacia la casa, riscaldandola naturalmente, ed in più crea quell'atmosfera di serenità in tutta la casa. Ovviamente è anche fornita di condizionatori per l'estate.. Non manca proprio niente! Unica cosa che mi sento di dire, è che le stoviglie e l'interno degli sportelli, non erano molto puliti.. Infatti prima di utilizzarli, ho preferito rilavarli e stiparli poi fuori dagli sportelli.. Giusto le stoviglie che avrei adoperato, perché alla fine, facendo tutti giorni escursioni, pranzavamo e cenevamo, quasi sempre fuori.. Lo sto volendo scrivere, perché son sicura che questo non sia dipeso dai proprietari, ma da chi si occupa delle pulizie.. e son sicura che Jesabel, da brava padrona di casa che si è dimostrata, provvederà subito, a far attenzionare questo aspetto a chi fa le pulizie. Ultima cosa che tengo a dire: la posizione. A primo acchito, Zabbar (the loft), potrà sembrare un po' fuori mano... Ed invece, non è così!! Considerate che Malta è lunga in totale solo 40km..... Quindi, per distante che possa sembrare un paese o una città, al massimo starete in macchina una mezz'ora... Invece: le 3 città, valletta, marsaxlokk ed altre ancora, sono veramente a pochi minuti di macchina (che consiglio di noleggiare, anche se i bus funzionano.. Ma onestamente, sareste obbligati ad aspettare i loro orari, e diventerebbe uno stress). Per andare a valletta, consiglio vivamente di parcheggiare "gratuitamente" a Vittoriosa, vicino al porto, e prendere il ferryboat, che con un paio di euro fa a/r alla valletta (4min esatti di traversata) .. In più è incluso il biglietto dell'ascensore, che vi porta direttamente su ai giardini Barrakka, da cui c'è una vista mozzafiato, e da dove inizierà il vostro giro per la Valletta. Malta è stata una sorpresa! Bellissima! Gente ospitale e disponibile.. ma occhio, perché comunque ci sono sempre i "furbetti".. in qualsiasi settore! Comunque il nostro soggiorno è stato splendido.. E il "The Loft" è stata la nostra splendida casa! Un posto che consiglio soprattutto a coppiette.. Per noi è stata la location ideale, per trascorrere il nostro decimo anniversario.. Tutto veramente perfetto!! Ci ritorneremo sicuramente... Grazie Jesabel e grazie Aaron Marzia e Vincenzo

Peaceful & Enjoyable Holiday
My wife & I wanted a break from the normal hustle & bustle and the Loft was ideal. Set in a rural location it enabled us to relax & chill, there were local amenities close by with a very good supermarket within 5 minutes walk & bus stops to locations all over the island even closer. The Loft had everything you needed for a self catering holiday & Jesabel could not have been more helpful with advice on how to get to the Loft (taxi drivers didn't have a clue) & where to go. Will definitely be in touch with Jesabel for our next trip to Malta

Steve and his wife were the perfect guests and would be honoured to have them again! They left the house clean and in order as if no one was had been staying there for a week! Highly recommended to other hosts but would love to keep them for myself!

Perfect combination
Our stay at this wonderfully located rural proper was ideal for our specific needs. With a rental car it proved to be centrally located with the Three Cities a short five minutes drive from the house, and many sea-front swimming areas nearby as well. The "Chef's Choice" grocer across the street provided all our food and drink needs during our stay and if closed, there is a "Confectionary" store less than a Km from the house which served us in a pinch. The loft is far more spacious than the site's photographs depict; with a large sleeping area, two bathrooms and a very convenient and private outdoor shower area where husbands stay out of the way of their wives morning routine. Fully equipped and functional kitchen was a blessing as we prepared many meals in the unit. We watched the fireworks over Valetta from the roof-top terrace almost every night. The hosts were also available electronically to answer or provide advice about anything Maltese. This is a spotlessly clean, wonderfully designed space and a good value for those like us who prefer the independence and value associated to avoiding hotels. Highly recommend The Loft; you won't be disappointed!

Beautiful home
We had an amazing few days stay at the loft. The hosts were super helpful from picking us up at the airport and even taking us to a 24hr supermarket and pizza takeaway as it was late at night we arrived. The loft itself has everything you will need for your stay. The roof terrace is great for sunbathing and the garden is lovely to sit in at the evening. The kitchen is very well equipped with all utensils/crockery. There is a big supermarket opposite which includes a fruit/veg shop, butchers, bakery etc. It’s around a 25min walk into Marsaskala and Valletta was a 25min bus journey which cost 1.5euros. We got a taxi back from Valletta and only charged 12.5euros. The loft is an ideal place to get away from it all and we left feeling super relaxed after only 3 days away. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting the same experience.

total relax
The loft of Jesabel is truly the perfect place to relax. A beautiful and scented garden leads you into a cozy house. We loved the renovation of this old house. Everything is really comfortable. We will definitely come back.

Superior accommodation in a secret garden
Just south of Valletta with incredible easy access to the Birgu ferry, the Loft is a Zen-like space with everything you need on site. We have enjoyed every second in this chilled Manhattan-style loft & walled garden. The hostess is wonderful and couldn't be more helpful. It is a real jewel. Highly recommend a stay.

Amazing property for quiet romantic getaway
An incredibly beautiful barn conversion. Very well appointed and comfortably furnished. Convenient location for a local supermarket and bus routes, although can be tricky to get to some locations on the far side of the island from here. Marsascala is quiet but very pleasant. Ultimately, it's worth staying here for The Loft itself! It was a fabulous property to experience staying in and a remarkable piece of architecture to enjoy. Maybe not ideal if you're wanting to see all the sights with easy travel links (Valletta would be better?) but perfect for a restful, romantic getaway. A true highlight of our honeymoon.

It was such a pleasure to have the newly wed couple at the Loft. So respectful and clean! Using buses will take longer than using a car of course. But there are guests that still prefare to have a relaxed holiday and using buses that having to worry about the parking etc
