"The apartment was even better than the photos: bright, spotless and full of thoughtful details. Check-in took two minutes and the team answered every message within the hour. We already know where we are staying next time in Malta."

"A perfect base in Sliema. Quiet at night, walkable to everything, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Small touches like local coffee and clear arrival notes made the whole trip feel easy."

"I handed over my apartment two years ago and have not worried about it since. CiaoStay handles guests, cleaning and maintenance, keeps the place in better shape than I did, and my occupancy and reviews have both improved. The monthly reporting is clear and payouts are always on time."

About us
Who we are
Two brothers, one shared passion.
For 15 years, we have been welcoming guests into carefully curated apartments across Italy, the United Kingdom, Gibraltar, Miami Beach and, since four years ago, Malta.
What started as a love for travel and genuine hospitality grew into a family promise: to offer every guest a home that feels personal, comfortable and effortlessly local.
Today, CiaoStay brings that same brotherly care to the Maltese islands — with properties chosen for their character, standards you can trust, and a team that treats every stay as its own.
