We stayed 1 week in the wonderful Maltese villa in Bahrija. Aldo and his mother were lovely hosts making our stay as perfect as possible. They are both very courteous, always helping us out with information about Malta and where to go. On our day of arrival Aldo showed us around a little bit and he once brought us to a nice sandy beach and even picked us up at night when we went to a traditional feast in Rabat and there wasn't any bus going back.
The villa is very spacious and we could use the kitchen for making dinner and the fridge was always full for breakfast. The room had a little balkony but we could also get on the roof of the villa - perfect spot to enjoy the sunset!
Important to know about Bahrija: it is a little village close to Rabat/Mdina. Street works inhibited the regular bus transfer but there is a little shuttle bus going directly to Rabat which actually takes 30 min, so it is no problem to get to Rabat and the bus driver is very kind, open-minded and chatty. ;) Then it is quite easy to explore the whole island by bus from Rabat. We totally enjoyed the silence and the nature in Bahrija and vicinity, it was exactly what we were looking for, but if you are looking for more nightlife and "action", Bahrija is not the perfect place for you! ;)
Thank you Aldo for everything, we really enjoyed our stay, one week was definitely too short! Hope to come back and see you in future!
