We had already had many weeks of great communication - we had sent lots of questions & had received great responses . Joanna was waiting for us when we arrived - she had also organised our transfer from the airport . Mdina is breathtaking on arrival - pure fairytale - Joanna escorted us from the central square to the house we had booked - a minutes walk . The house was huge spread over 3 floors - perfect as per the description with all the amenities as described - spaciousness throughout - bathrooms and showering on every floor with lovely terraces - the top terrace is literally rooftop with hidden views over the whole city - stunning . Joanna has a great gift store nearby - so is handy if any questions on places to go & things to see - We ate in Mdina every evening - great food eaten in some amazing restaurants especially the ones on the city walls - breath taking . The best thing about Malta is the ease of getting around - buses are only 2 euros wherever you are going and if you return in 2 hours your ticket acts as a return ! You can get taxis which are not to expensive - great beaches are dotted around - really clean well managed with good food & drink available . Don't be fooled into thinking there is not plenty to do - we could have stayed another week and still not had time to do & see all that Malta has to offer . Staying in Mdina showed us a world unexpected - it's like a film set . We can't thank Joanna & her son for having welcomed us to their wonderful home - we all had a great time , six very happy travellers , very satisfying trip. We hope to return one day .
