Gillian was a good host, and was kind enough to let me know when the house had been cleaned, earlier than planned, as she knew we had had a very early start. There was a mix up with bedding which she sorted effectively.
However, I felt disappointed in the house. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely, as was the pool area. However there was building work going on from before 7am to 5.30pm every day except Sunday. It was noisy and dusty, and the view from the pool was of workmen and a 40m crane. This meant we did not get the full use of the pool area. A lot of the furniture was not as per the photos. All the little touches like plants were not there. The sun loungers were rusty and dirty, and the furniture on the top balcony was spattered with bird dirt to the extent that we did not want to use them. The microwave and barbecue were also dirty so we did not use them.
Several light fittings were broken, and despite having a washing machine and dishwasher, there was not a single tablet in the place.
There was only one restaurant nearby in the hotel, and one shop which was not great. A car is essential but from the house it was easy to access the whole island and Malta.
It would not take a lot to make this house as lovely as the photos, but unfortunately it dampened our holiday. We have stayed in numerous properties around Europe for a similar price which I have been much nicer. I hate to leave a negative review, but we chose this house particularly so we could us the pool, and we hardly spent any time there.
