Joanna was amazing. Right from the first confirmation email until we left the apartment she was there to answer questions, provide advice and generally make us feel welcome. She even went to far as to leave gluten free rolls and pasta in our welcome package when she learned that my youngest daughter is coeliac.

The apartment is lovely. Easily big enough for 2 adults and 3 children. It was clean and well stocked. The pool was a bit cold to enjoy but that's to be expected at the beginning of April and we all still had a splash around in it!! The views from the terrace are lovely and we enjoyed a cold beer on the sun loungers one evening watching the lights twinkle on the hillside and listening to a brass band somewhere practicing!

It is a 5 - 10 minute walk to the shop up quite a steep hill. Maypole shop has a good selection of food and drink and the grocer shop a few doors up has great fruit and veg and a big selection of gluten free food (his wife and kids are coeliac).

The bust stop by the shops gets you to most places but you might want to rent a car if you aren't up to big hills!

We would not hesitate to recommend Joanna and La Mediterranea Villa Apartments to anyone thinking of visiting Mellieha.
