Honeymoon in Malta

A May 2005 trip to Malta by lin50

Quote: This is about a 2-week honeymoon, staying in Millieha Village and travelling to see some of the sights on Malta and Gozo. It was given as a gift to my daughter and her husband, who, from here on, will be writing this journal.

Honeymoon in Malta Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
There are photo opportunities and chances to meet friendly, helpful people; see the sights; make it to Gozo; and enjoy the good food and relaxed pace of life.Quick Tips: Get a hold of an ATP bus route map. This can be found at http://www.atp.com.mt. They can also be picked up from the bus drivers. Another site that may be useful is http://www.maltatransport.com. Make sure you say exactly where you are going (Mellieha Village and Mellieha Bay are in two different zones) and make a note of the fare before you get on, as some drivers will try and charge you .25 even for trips within one zone.Best Way To Get Around: Now, this all depends on where you are staying! As we stayed in the nort...Read More

Pergola Holiday & Leisure Club Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Pergola Holiday & Leisure Club"

Quote:
Best Things Nearby:Gozo Ferry and Sweethaven Village (Popeye film set)Best Things About the Resort:Choice of three places to eat on the site. If you have a balcony on the correct side of the building, you are able to see Our Lady of Millieha Church, and on a clear day you may be able to just see Comino and Gozo in the distance.Resort Experience:Unfortunately, not good. The site stretches over two buildings. To go from reception to the timeshare building, you have to take two lifts and walk along a tunnel under ground level. This put us off using the gym and pools, as they were near reception in the opposite building to our rooms! There is a Lm25 refunda...Read More

La Valle Trattoria Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
La Valle Trattoria is part of the Pergola Club Hotel and has a wide range of food. They have pizzas, pasta, grills, and salads, to name just a few. We ate here a couple of times. It was very relaxed, and the staff were all very friendly, cheerful, and helpful (they don't laugh at your pronunciation of Maltese dishes, but help you to perfect it!). You didn't have to wait to be served. The food was always tasty, and we were never able to eat three courses! At the end of one meal, we were asked if we wanted to take the pizza we hadn't been able to finish away with us!

The Maritim Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
This is part of the Maritim Hotel. Again, we ate here a couple of times over the two weeks, because it had such a comfortable atmosphere and is a stone's throw from Pergola where we were staying. The food was of a high standard, and there was a wide variety, so most tastes were catered for. We couldn't eat two courses, let alone three, as the portions were sizeable! This disappointed us, as the desserts looked very tempting. So tempting, we in fact popped in on our last day for a drink, but primarily to have some cake! We were not disappointed. The staff were all very friendly, and you do not have to wait long for your order. We used to pop in for a drink now and then if we had been on a long jo...Read More

Malta Experience Bastion Cafe Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "The Malta Experience Bastion Cafe"

Quote:
We didn't ever go into see The Malta Experience (didn't fancy watching a presentation for about an hour); however, we did duck into the cafe to escape the horse-and-cart men! There are tables outside and inside. The views are lovely and the food simple but tasty. It's self-service--no frills or fancies--but a great little place if you're in the area and in need of a refreshment.

Malta Experience Bastion Cafe
St Elmo Bastions, Mediterranean Street
Valletta, Malta

Quote:
Fontanella is spread over different levels. There are inside tables at ground level, and then some steps take you up to the battlements, where there are tables outside with beautiful panoramic views. If the weather is a little chilly or blisteringly hot, as we experienced, there are some tables on the battlements that are in a type of conservatory, so you can get some relief from the elements if preferred. They serve really tasty sandwiches/baguettes, pizzas, salads, and most definitely desserts!

Cafe Deux Baronnes Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
This is an open-air cafe with panoramic views of the Grand Harbour. It had a quiet, pleasant atmosphere with prompt and friendly service. There was an extensive range of meals and snacks covering all budgets. On one day, there was a company of actors rehearsing a play at one end of the cafe, which was enjoyable to watch whilst having lunch. It's a bit exposed, so take a shirt/jumper, even on a sunny day, as there is no shelter if the wind whips up. You are also given a bookmark when you leave!
