Our family of four had an amazing stay here on our first ever European venture. First off, the pictures don't do the place justice - everthing is top notch and the space is huge. You can tell this wasn't intended as a rental. We have stayed in rental houses all over the states and this place is at the top of the list for overall quality, size and value. Great kitchen, comfortable living room space, great outdoor spaces for eating and lounging.
Secondly, Andy and Antonija are consummate hosts. They went above and beyond in every way from communicating, to making and emergency run to the place when I locked ourselves out of the patio to offering accommodations when I found out last minute I booked our flight on the wrong day. They really care about what they are doing and are very good at it and we would wholeheartedly recommend their properties to anyone.
Our daughters wanted to snorkel so we used Andy and Antonija's charter service for a day at sea around Comino and Gozo. I am not a very social person so I was hestitant about spending the day with a couple of strangers but those fears were put to rest about a minute after boarding the boat and it was like hanging out with old friends. It was an unforgettable day with intriguing conversation, great food in a perfect setting. They even surprised us with birthday treats for our daughter. Do yourself a favor and experience this trip with these two beautiful souls if you get the chance. Thank you guys for helping make our trip so wonderful.
Around the house - We walked to and from Golden bay beach. Down was an easy walk. Back from the beach was a hike but there were several cabs at the beach waiting we could have used if we needed. The small market is just around the corner and has most everything but not much variety. We hopped off the bus back from Valletta at the PAMA supermarket that had everything you could want. We used ecabs app and the buses to get around without issue. I still don't understand the address system in Malta so I would use the Manikata Church as a cab pickup and drop off place. It was about a 3 minute walk from the house. FYI - we learned the hard way many of the shops in Valletta are closed on Sunday.
