Marianne's villa is amazing! So much more beautiful in person. There was 7 of us including two children, so very much suitable for adults and kids. The villa is close to the grocery shop and the main square. Please remember they do have siestas so you do need to be aware when shops/restaurants open and reopen. The area Qala is very relaxing. We didn't hire a car but I recommend you do as taxi prices can be pricey. You can walk to the nearest beach which is hondoq bay (small), it's a very steep walk though so a car would be better but if your very fit you should be fine although the heat can be a lot when walking uphill. You can get a boat to Comino from hondoq bay. We spent a day at the next closest beach - Ramla bay which was bigger and has a place to get food which I must say was pretty good and had good prices.
Overall the holiday was amazing and deffintely will be back, Marianne was very nice and helpful. Thanks again for the stay!
