Tony is an excellent host. We really had a great time staying at his flat. He was quite helpful in many ways(as well as his son, Rod) - helped us getting our lost luggage, supplying a portable heater for cold nights, giving us suggestions where to go with kids etc. Local beaches in Mellieħa are very family friendly as they are cozy and relatively quiet(we are in their end of winter season). They are definitely charming and unpretentious. Our 4 yold daughter loved the local beaches so much that she didn't want to go to other beaches! You can enjoy both sandy and rocky beaches within 10 minutes walk from the flat. Thank you for making our trip nice and cozy, Tony!
