Selmunett Luxury Bed and Breakfast

'Selmunett' is a charming family run luxury bed and breakfast located on the edge of the village of Naxxar, which is more or less in the centre of the island. We have two en suite bedrooms and a Self Catering Studio Apartment in the garden quite close to our swimming pool and garden for the use of guests. The sea at St Paul's bay is a ten-minute car drive.The capital of Valetta is 15 minutes away; the airport and golf course are 20 minutes away. If Golf is your fancy, we can lend you a set of clubs.

We strongly recommend that you hire a car for your time in Malta. We would be happy to arrange this for you when you place your booking. The new bus service in Malta is great with fully air-conditioned and modern buses with many routes round the Island. Our local bus stop is three minutes from the house. Fitness enthusiasts, during the cooler weather, might like to consider bicycles, which again we can arrange. Whilst we do not provide evening meals, we have a full list of restaurants, pubs and bars that we recommend listed here on our site.

WiFi is available throughout.

Area Activities
What to see & do : What to see in Malta.
It is impossible to give details of all there is to see and do, especially without knowing what you are particularly interested in. However, below listed there are the main sites that are really worth seeing during your stay.
There are many web sites which give more information. Check out www.visitmalta.com which has a good interactive map. Under ‘Views and Downloads’ you will find video clips and e-books. Plus you will also find video clips on www.supercities.eu and www.heartofmalta.com
Have a look at http://www.travelistic.com/video/tag/... This is a new site that has video clips showing places like Valletta and Mdina and also about scuba diving , sailing and yacht charters .
In large countries a lot of time is wasted in travelling from one place to another. Malta doesn't require a lot of travelling to get to see interesting places, or just to go for a dip in the sea. Distances are short (it takes less than an hour to travel between the two further points) and there isn't another place in Europe that offers such a high concentration of historic sites, Neolithic temples, beaches, holiday resorts and places of entertainment (restaurants, bars, pubs, clubs, cinemas , festivals etc.) . You’ll wish you’d have known about Malta earlier!
http://www.101malta.com/index.php/Mai is fun and has lists of things worth doing and seeing during your stay in Malta. You’ll have to pick and choose to see what is to your liking, as the lists are very comprehensive.
Valletta Living History is a new audiovisual show depicting the history of Malta and Valletta. It is the perfect way to start of you trip in Malta as in 35 minutes it gives you an introduction to the people and the history you are about to discover. www.maltaattraction.com you can also get a good Valletta Map in the download section.
Despite Malta being so small it has many artistic treasures. Most of them are a legacy from the times of the Knights. Each Knight was expected to give a gift to the Order on being elected to a higher position and each would try and outdo the previous one. They also wanted to show the rest of Europe the financial power of the Order. The gifts of the new Grand Masters are now priceless.
The set of magnificent tapestries hanging in St. John’s Cathedral Museum are costing over one million euro just to restore. Another set are available to see in the Grand Master's Palace. Visit www.stjohnscocathedral.com .
Heritage Malta is the national agency for museums, conservation practice and cultural heritage. It also takes care of the Neolithic temples of Malta. www.heritagemalta.com
Many Heritage Trusts, sometimes quite rightly, concentrate on the prehistoric time or the period of the Knights of St John in Malta’s rich history and this can been seen in the many wonderful attractions around the country.
However, Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna – The Malta Heritage Trust have mainly concentrated on more recent history – The British Military in Malta and WW2 History - to be precise.
The organization www.dinlarthelwa.org – (in English ‘this sweet land’ and the first three words of the National Anthem) is the guardian of many historic properties open to the public such as chapels, watch towers , cemetery and fortified country houses all over Malta.
Another local heritage site is http://www.wirtartna.org (which means Our Land’s Heritage.)
There are a lot of festivals throughout the year; musical, traditional, cultural, heritage, agricultural to mention a few. Check them out on http://www.visitmalta.com forthcoming events and on http://www.whatson.com.mt and also http:// www.maltafestivals.com.
On your arrival at the airport there are ‘What’s on’ booklets available at the tourist office and often given out to tourists as they enter the Arrival lounge. There is a Tourist Office in
People used to think that Malta was an island for the more mature person, but Malta really is an Island for any age and any person whether for singles, couples, families or students. The people are warm and friendly - if you don't find this to be true, stop and think: were you pleasant to them? If you start up a conversation with them, you will find them helpful and friendly.
There are Promenades for gentle strolls, beaches and beach clubs, historic sites, country walks, diving and snorkelling, quaint villages, splendid views, clubbing and night bars, cafes and bars for relaxing, restaurants of all descriptions, paragliding and rock climbing, world renowned bastions and fortifications… and all within easy reach as Malta is so small.
This is a list of the most popular and important sites in Malta - but do take the time and go through the lists given above as there is so much more to see and do than is possible to describe in one article
VALLETTA: The capital and an UNESCO heritage site. Obviously a ‘must see’ to include a large selection of museums, churches, palaces and gardens. Start off by visiting Valletta Living History – www.maltaattraction.com
See Top Questions on the Malta Forum http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g19...
WAR MUSEUM - There are many museums in Valletta, but this is one of the most popular especially for those not all that interested in the arts/culture. It is situated in Fort St Elmo at the bottom of Valletta and has recently been completely renovated. It is a fascinating place and gives an insight to the sufferings of Malta during the War. (See Things to do in Valletta in Top Questions where there are detailed explanations of the various sites to see) http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction...
MDINA - The medieval capital of Malta the second must see. It is called the Silent City and its narrow, winding streets opening onto squares and magnificent view over the bastions are splendid. See the Mdina Forum Top Questions for detailed descriptions of all there is to see. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction...
RABAT - a town adjoining Mdina and where your bus will stop you when you visit Mdina. There are fascinating catacombs well worth visiting. There is also a Roman house with small museum that is worth visiting also. There is a tourist train that takes you round the area
THE THREE FORTIFIED CITIES OF COTTONERA - across the harbour from Valletta are the cities of Birgu (Vittoriosa) Cospicua (Bormla) Senglea (L-Isla). Cospicua is a residential town with not as much to recommend but the other two have a rich history. Birgu in particular has a newly renovated Waterfront with bars and restaurants, museums and Second World War Air Raid Shelter with its Malta at War Museum. This area of Malta is well worth visiting as it is still quite un spoilt
MAMO TOWER near Marsascala, St. Thomas Bay - it is not really a tower but a fortified country house; Built as a defence against invasion by the Turks. You enter into a round domed room with four rooms leading out. The shape is like a cross. There is a staircase leading to the roof with a lovely view. In the moat is a Roman tomb.
FORT RINELLA in Birgu - Here you will see the largest cannon in the world and is still fired. There are re-enactments and guided tours. Transport from Barakka Gardens when the cannon is fired there at noon.
GARDENS - There are a number of public gardens which are very well kept and very enjoyable both for the keen gardener and for those of you looking for somewhere to relax in a shady environment
NEOLITHIC MALTA - These Temples predate the Pyramids and Stonehenge in the UK. They will make you realize that Malta was one of the first countries to carry out these engineering miracles and its civilization is amongst the oldest in the world. The Hypogeum , a vast underground cavern carved out by hand thousands of years ago requires pre booking as only a very limited number of visitors are allowed. Booking from http://www.heritagemalta.org
CART RUTS - San Gwann, San Pawl Tat-Targa* Naxxar, Rabat/Dingli - parallel channels in pairs or groups. It is still a mystery why and how they were constructed but it is thought the purpose was to transport heavy rocks. Some lead to the sea, to cliff edges and carry on under the sea. San Gwann is between Naxxar and Sliema. They are popularily known as Clapham Junction. Malta has most of these ruts of the whole world. www.cartrutsmalta.com is a fascinating site that attempts to solve the mystery.
* These are located just down the road from Selmunett Luxury Bed and Breakfast and also well worth visiting.
THE MSIDA BASTION GARDEN OF REST 1805 – 1857 – a cemetery set within the Msida Bastions just outside Valletta near the Hotel Excelsior. You can enjoy unique views of the waters of Marsamxetto Harbour with Fort Manoel on Manoel Island and Msida Creek across the water. Its restoration earned Din l-art Helwa the prestigious Silver Medal by Europa Nostra.

MGARR SHELTER - one of the biggest shelters in Malta and is more than 225m long. Life the other shelters, entirely dug by hand. A number of families spent many hours in terror praying for their safety. Children were brought up in these shelters. Church Square, Mgarr tel – 21 573235
It so happens that the Shelter in located in the basement of “Il Barri” Restaurant an excellent place to eat something local in very clean surroundings.
MALTA AVIATION MUSUEM - At Ta Qali near the Crafts Village and Rabat The museum is a living and working museum which is a prime attraction for all family members of all ages. It exhibits a collection of around 18 aircraft, aircraft engines, airfield equipment, uniforms, model aircraft and much more. Obviously, it is even more of a must for World War II fanatics.
FISHING / SPORTS ACTIVITIES - being an Island, fishing is very popular. You will see folk sitting on stools along the shore with their rods but you can also go on boats equipped for fishing. If you go to St Paul’s Bay you'll also find fishermen who will be willing to take you out on their boats.
You can enjoy a variety of sports and other leisure activities in Malta including hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, diving, Para gliding, wind surfing and yachting, amongst others.
Diving around the Maltese islands is also a very popular activity among tourists, with many interesting diving sites (scuttled ships, for example) and certified PADI courses available. Malta was classified as one of the best diving centre in Europe. Diving centres are found particularly in Qawra, Bugibba and St Paul’s Bay and in St Julian’s. Gozo also provides first class diving centres as well.
If you prefer just watching sports you won't have to worry about missing any big football matches or other sports events. Most pubs (as well as dedicated sports bars) and local football clubs all have a satellite dish perked on their roofs and display what sports events are shown on chalkboard notices just outside their premises. There are also fan clubs of the popular Italian and English football clubs that welcome visitors.
FESTAS - Are a unique insight into Maltese culture. Especially in certain villages and towns, there are a number of people totally dedicated throughout the year working to improve the annual feast day of the village’s patron saint. There are band marches, stalls and impressive fireworks displays. A procession also takes place with the saint’s statue. In many villages the religious aspect seems to have taken second place with the profane celebration the most popular. If you are here during the Festa season, try and visit one of the many http://maltadiocese.org/lang/en/information/
HARBOUR CRUISES - the most popular depart from the Sliema Ferries. There are various companies to choose from. The boats go round the Grand Harbour and you’ll get a good insight of Malta’s history. www.captainmorgan.com.mt www.herayachtmalta.com

Folklore nights on Fridays – transport included Bus no. 89 from Valletta - transport available to Hagar Qim, Blue Grotto and Mdina
BLUE GROTTO - at Zurrieq If you don't mind getting up reasonably early in the mornings, the blue grotto is great when you get there slightly before opening hours and take some time to watch the men hoist their boats down the long ramp into the water. That alone is worth seeing and then you will likely get the first boat all to yourself and a private trip to the caves before the crowds arrive. The boats won’t run if the sea is too rough. It is quite near Hagar Qim, and is a small inlet protecting the colourful local fishing craft (perhaps making more money now by transporting tourists around the "blue grotto”) You will see beautiful clear blue sea in the caves. One of the very few Blue Grotto’s in Europe.
MALTA KNIGHTS SPECTACULAR 1565 DINNER SHOW - a 2 hour live show with over 50 performers, horses, dancing, singing, battle scenes http://www.malta1565.com
CLASSIC CAR COLLECTION MUSEUM in Bugibba - there is a large collection of model cars and photo’s on display.
