Joe and Sylvia are lovely, nice hosts, who - at any time - have been there to provide a fantastic service. It has not been necessary, but it was and is nice to know that You can rely on both of them … :)
Their flat is well equipped - You will find (almost) every little thing that is useful for Your everyday life. The only thing that may be nice to have, would be 1 or two more socket-adaptors … But we took along one by ourselves, so there was no trouble. ;-)
The flat is really large, quiet, nicely situated inside a Mellieha quarter. The bus-stop is quite near – a walk will take You some 6, 7 minutes. To get to the beach I recommend You to take the bus. A walk to the beach every once in a while might result a bit exhausting ;-) There' s a bunch of nice little grocery shops (especially Farmer's Fresh on 78 Main Street, Mellieha! Very friendly people! And »nomen est omen«: They're selling fresh local fruit and grocery at fantastic prices! :)) - round the corner, down the Main Street, near bus-stop »Etna« – downtown Mellieha so to say – You can find a bakery that even sells the bread freshly directly out of the stove … Remarkably to say that almost all of those nice little, familyrun stores and shops sell almost all of their goods at almost constantly cheaper (!) prices than the bigger supermarket »ValYou« on the other side of town. If in some of the products the price may be higher, so at least only slightly …
So, if You're looking for a nice, quiet place to stay in the north of Malta (the ferry to Gozo also is very nearby), having a resort to go for a swim a n d to go for trips round the island/s, have a look at Joe's & Sylvia's.
Greets and kind regards,
Alex & accomplices ;-)
