Emanuel was a wonderful host who did his utmost to please us and make our stay as enjoyable as possible. His home is a beautiful period building in the characterful town of Zebbug. There is a fantastic little bakery just around the corner which we went to every morning for traditionally-made fresh bread to have for breakfast.

The listing was, however, not entirely accurate; there is no hot tub (just a bath), there is only air conditioning in one bedroom, and one of the bedrooms is a corridor with no bedroom furniture. The kitchen has two small hobs, a fridge/freezer and a microwave, but there is no oven and limited kitchenware which made it a struggle to make evening meals.
