Francesca and her mom met us personally at the airport, which was wonderful. (They had planned to book a mini-bus for us, but there were none available due to our arrival time.) The house was even more beautiful that the photos, it was very, very clean and we were impressed at the beautiful layout and the lovelyviews from the rooftop. She had prepared two wonderful baskets for us, one full of delicious fruits, cheese, bread and Maltese wine-scrumptious! She also had an enormous basket filled with travel information, touring ideas, bus maps and schedules, and many ideas for sightseeing excursions. She had prepared a map of theri neighborhood, showing nearby shops, bus stops and post offices, all of which was very helpful. She also gave us a business card with contact informtaion, so that if we needed anything during the week, we could call them-that gave us a sense of security too, even though we didn't need to.

The linens were comfortable and there were plenty of them, the kitchen had an espresso machine, pots, pans, utensils, knives and plenty of tableware-both silverware and glasses. We had towels for the pool as well as many bath towels. Thie beautiful house is obviously very well loved and cared for, and we loved the fact that it wasn't in one of the cities, so we could enjoy the neighborhood feel! On the few nights that it was hot at bedtime, the room air conditioner cooled it right down. We also used the natural ventitaltion available by leaving windows open, etc. THere were the traditional Maltese curtains at every doorway and window opening. We got into the pool almost every night, and enjoyed using the barbecue on the patio. The photographs barely do this beautiful house justice, it is roomy and comfortable, conveniently located and well-maintained. We have only extremely postive comments for Francesca, and wish her the best as she goes forward in this venture! We would love to be able to visit Malta again, and we would certainly stay there again if we did. We highly recommend Id-Dwejra to anyone-It could easily accommodate three couples, or even two families with children, because it is so spacious.
