The place in real life looks just like the pictures - very stylish, clean lines and totally modern. The information provided by host Simon in advance is very comprehensive and helpful. He checked in with us in person on the day of arrival, was friendly and welcoming and responded quickly to any messages. The cool tiles probably need you to pack slippers, and alas it was a bit early in the year to swim in the pristine pool. I think the place would be outstanding in the summer - an oasis from the heat.
The villa is on the edge of the village but easy to find (and Bolt drivers can find it too if you want to take a cab for a night out), and the bay has loads of pretty places to eat. We took the cliff walk - highly recommended. There’s a mini market for basics in Xlendi and bigger shops just 10 minutes down the road in Victoria. The kitchen is well equipped and everything was sparkling clean. Finally - the TV had a fabulous choice of channels so on nights spent in we had lots of stuff to watch. Another review said that is was like a glamorous Miami apartment - and it is.
