Just spent the most amazing 12 days in Marsaxlokk at the Southwind Guest House If you can, stay in the rooftop room - it has its own private sun terrace. We spent a LOT of time there just basking in the sun, thanks to the sun loungers, umbrella and dining space. If you want to be lazy and eat in, there’s surely nowhere better. And even the power station failed to dampen the classic views of the harbour and luzus bobbing That said, the whole of Marsaxlokk is barely a 10 minute walk away. That covers ALL of the local restaurants & takeaways In the evenings, it was like we had become locals. Once the “day tourists” had left, Marsaxlokk reverts to being a sleepy fishing village Francesco and his team looked after us superbly. Nothing was too much trouble, and as there were only 8 rooms, it was never busy. A generous continental breakfast was provided every morning, and their attention to Covid-related cleanliness was impeccable Malta is a small island, but having your own wheels means that short excursions can cover almost the whole island in less than a day. We took separate trips to see Medina/Rabat, Dhingli Cliffs, the Blue Grotto etc. We also walked some of the local cliff top paths (though it did get hot!) It’s really hard to think of anything negative about the guest house or the local area
