We have just returned from a perfect Christmas break at Mario’s apartment in Mellieha. Check in was very easy, we were met by Grace who showed us round the apartment and explained everything to us. We immediately felt at home.
The property is in a small block, facing the bay. Every morning we woke up with views of the Mediterranean Sea, each day is different and always offers spectacular views across the bay. We now regret not taking a dip in the sea in the mornings! There is always next year.
The apartment is exactly as described, very stylish and super clean. You have everything you need inside and if you wanted to cook, there is a large fully equipped kitchen. We had originally planned to cook some meals but with such fantastic restaurants on your door step, we ended up trying a different one each day. You have shops, restaurants and cafes in the area that are open all year round. We highly recommend ‘Amami’, across the road from Mario’s apartment. The food is excellent and the staff are super lovely. We also enjoyed sipping cocktails next door in ‘Blu’. This overlooks the bay and is also staffed by amazing people!.
We had a hire car which served us well as we like to cover a lot of ground when we are away. Alternatively you can use public transport which is excellent. I have been to Malta before and used buses to go everywhere so I speak from experience.
Maltese people are respectful, friendly and responsible beings, so do the same- follow the rules, wear your masks and always tip the waiters.
We highly recommend visiting, Gozo!
