Mario was very helpful from the moment I booked Mario’s Hideaway. He met me at the bus stop and carried my bag for me. He gave me tips and places I must see and where to eat, as well as showing me how everything worked in the apartment and where to find extra blankets and towels. Transportation is easy, but I also walked safely from Xlendi to Ta Pinu. It’s a quiet, lovely village and Mario is the perfect host.
