I really enjoyed my stay in Villa Bronja. The location was perfect, the atmosphere peaceful and private, and the apartment spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

The welcome addition of the private terrace to the studio apartment gave it the feel of much more space, and provided a lovely spot for morning yoga with the sun on my back, followed by breakfast.

The kitchen was more than adequate for preparing breakfast and making cups of tea. There is a full size fridge for your bits and pieces which includes a small freezer too. You will need to take some staples with you though as items like sugar are not provided. There is a small grocery shop in town though, which is open between 7am and 8pm in the summer, or bigger shops in Victoria at more reasonable prices.

The pool and roof terrace was well maintained, and a nice spot to meet neighbours, cool off and enjoy the stunning views. It really did make the experience feel special.

Xlendi is a lovely little town with some great restaurants, lovely sea front area, walks and some secluded sandstone rocks around the corner for my quiet sunbathing. It is only 17 minutes by bus from Victoria, which is a very convenient and regular service. Victoria is a lovely place, with some great shops and supermarkets.

I was travelling on my own and never once felt at risk or unsafe in Xlendi. It really was the perfect spot, and the Villa Bronja studio was a lovely base for my week in the sun. I will definitely be returning.
