This is a review for Villa Xemxija- also run by Manoel. We were booked for Villa Bronja, however Manoel upgraded us to the nearby Villa Xemxija and we had a lovely 1 bedroom apartment. Thanks Manoel! We had not been to Malta before and as we were staying on Gozo island we were uncertain as to how to get from the airport to Xlendi. No problems - Manoel organised taxis from Airport to the apartment in Xlendi. You can do it with public transport - but this was so much more convenient! The apartment was very well presented and had loads of room for the two of us. There was also a large pool available at Xemxija - perfect for a swim after a day of walking and sightseeing. We had originally planned to stay in Valetta but Xlendi was a great place to stay and when we did visit Valetta we really enjoyed the peace and quiet Xlendi offers. There are cliff top walks, swimming in the bay - loads of restaurants. There is a Supermarket in Munxar just 2-3kms up the road - easy walk through some countryside. Good bus services connecting you to Victoria (Rabat) and thence to everywhere else on Gozo. Regular ferry service makes it a breeze to go to Malta Island. We spent 8 nights here and loved every minute of it. Manoel was always available to help with any information and has an extensive knowledge of Maltese history.
Would recommend Manoel and Villa Xemxija to anyone. Roger and Bill. Australia
