The Villa in Qrendi is really a nice place to stay for vacation.
Shaun is a perfect host, who always does his best to help the guests in every belongings.
We're not sure about the roof opened or closed in October, but Shauns recommendation to let it closed was the right descission. It's chilly at the nighttime, so we could always sit warm around the great pool and jacuzzi - even when it's rainy (yes, we had the five rain-days of October during our stay).
We were four adults and two kids and everyone had enough space in the rooms. All rooms are equipped with cabins and storage.
The common used rooms are large enough to fit us six people and the whole villa is big enough, that you can sit separated, too. You have a dining-area with a big table, some kind of living room with sofas and a TV-area and the awesome pool-area, with loungers and another table to fit all persons.
Shaun is quick in answering questions and helping with information about Malta. Also he does his best to make your stay as good as possible.
For example, we arrived late at night (1 p.m.) and it was absolutely no problem, to do the check-in at night-time. Shaun poured some snacks and drinks, so that we had the essential things until we could buy some food in the morning.
Whenever there is any problem, just ask and he'll find a solution for it.
If we'll visit Malta again, Shauns place absolutely will be the first option, if available.
