Garrett and Stephanie's place in Mellieha was perfect for our family of 6 (4 kids ages 14, 13, 11 and 9) for our first week-long stay in Malta. We arrived very late on Sunday night but they had arranged for transport to the villa which was well lit and ready for us. We rattled around a bit in the huge villa but our kids had a way of expanding in the space making it very cozy. Garret and Stephanie provided a basket of goodies on arrival so we didn't have to make a trip to the store immediately but did make great use of the local supermarkets later in the week, being a short 11-minute jaunt away.
Stephanie was kind enough to provide recommended sites to see on the island as well as on Gozo. We used public transport for a couple of the days but, while close and convenient, the constant stopping adding about an hour travel time one way. The local garages and auto-hire centers did not have big enough vehicles for us to rent so we hired a driver instead for two of the days and one day on Gozo for a reasonable price. Certainly took the anxiety of driving out of the holiday considering what we had read and seen!
Would definitely recommend Garrett and Stephanie's place for anyone else looking to holiday in Malta. They've earned their Superhost rating!
