Our hostess Joanna was not there for our arrival, but she advised us beforehand, also she arranged for her tenants Brian and Zeta to be there for us. There was a welcoming food package in our fridge! The apartment suited us perfectly, was spacious, neat, and importantly had a private courtyard. The pool was great, easy for laps, with a 1.3 meter shallow end and a 3 meter deep end. This could be a problem with young children if they swim unsupervised. The location is good, being in the upmarket part of the island, in Mellieha. Slight drawback is a 15 minute walk to the main street where the bus stop, shopping, restaurants are, but no bother for us and we are in our 60s... Hint is to avoid walking there at midday (only mad dogs and Englishmen go out then, as the saying goes). Beautiful walk downhill to the bay and Mellieha beach, the longest stretch of sand in Malta! All in all, we had a wonderful 8 day stay here.
