Summary: We recently stayed at this villa for our holiday. The property itself is a great size—very spacious and well laid out, making it ideal for a group of 8 people. It definitely has a lot of potential.However, we were disappointed by the overall experience due to poor maintenance and cleanliness. On arrival, it was clear that the villa hadn’t been properly cleaned. We encountered issues such as block drain, a dishwasher that didn’t work properly, and a noticeable ant problem throughout the house.I also made a few simple requests to make our stay more comfortable, but unfortunately, these were completely ignored from the host.For the premium price we paid, we expected a much higher standard of upkeep and guest service. It’s a shame, because with proper attention and care, this could have been an excellent stay.

Summary: We had a great week. The villa is spacious and well equipped. There were some lovely touches eg lots of cleaning equipment, bin bags and a cupboard full of extras eg spices, cooking oil and a welcome pack. These are all things that we’ve had to purchase ourselves in other villa stays. The villa is easy to get to and close to main routes down both the east and west of the island.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay, there were a couple of minor issues but these should be easily addressed. The pool was lovely and we used Bolt for cars to local places to eat. Would recommend

Stephen Y. Oct 22, 2023 05:33:34 AM
Summary: We stayed for 5 nights whilst visiting a music festival. The check in process was simple and made all the more enjoyable by meeting Kevin and his wife at the house on our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble. The house is fantastic and the photos do not do it justice. The pool is large and spacious and the hot tub perfect for relaxing in the evening. Each bedroom is beautifully decorated and they are very large! All in all it was a fabulous experience from start to finish.

Summary: Superb Villa in Malta with very nice hosts an outstanding in- and exterior. Highly recommended for vacation with family or friends. If comming back to Malta, surely would stay here again.
