Port View Guesthouse

Port View Guesthouse is at 18 Triq il-Luzzu in Marsaxlokk, the traditional fishing village on the south-east coast of Malta, a short walk from the harbour and its luzzu fishing boats. The street name refers to the brightly painted wooden boats, with their painted eye of Osiris, that fill the harbour and are one of the most photographed sights in Malta. The waterfront has a line of restaurants specialising in fresh fish, and on Sundays the promenade hosts a market selling fish, produce, lace and souvenirs. The parish church and village cafes are close by. Valletta is about 40 minutes away by bus, and Malta International Airport is roughly 10 to 15 minutes by road, making the village a convenient base for visitors who prefer a quieter coastal setting. Nearby attractions include St Peter's Pool for swimming, the Delimara peninsula with its walking paths and coves, and the Tas-Silg archaeological site. Accommodation is in Double Rooms with air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The guesthouse is small in scale and facilities, with no advertised pool, spa or restaurant, so meals are typically taken at the harbour-front restaurants, and breakfast arrangements should be confirmed when booking. Service is informal and personal, typical of small Maltese guesthouses, and the property appeals to couples, photographers and budget-minded independent travellers. Typical double room rates run from about EUR 55 to EUR 105 per night depending on season, indicative rather than live figures. Marsaxlokk is busiest on Sunday mornings and in summer, when day visitors arrive in large numbers, and is quieter in the evening. Public buses serve the village, but a taxi or hired car is useful for reaching Delimara and other beaches.
