The photos do not begin to do the villa justice:

- the views out over the island were stunning
- the whole decking and pool area were luxurious and extremely clean and well maintained, even the fourth shower/toiler rooms outsider for pool users
- inside was incredibly comfortable, modern and with everything needed in the kitchen and bedrooms to make for a very relaxing stay.

The location for us was also perfect. You need a car (but then I think anyone coming to Malta without a hire car is greatly limiting what they can do) but the villa is almost on its own and is not overlooked at all. There is a wedding venue up the hill. Their music could be heard late at night, but it did not interfere with our stay - especially not once in the bedrooms.

Each room has air-conditioning which makes the villa a good place to hide from the sun if you're feeling over-baked.

The villa is also surrounded by high walls, making it feel very private and secure (not that anywhere in Malta feels unsafe - we found it to be an incredibly welcoming and safe place).

The villa's location is in the southwest of the main island. We found this ideal as we could skirt around the very busy road system surrounding the main city areas of Valetta, St Julian's etc, when we were wanting to visit areas such as Mdina (don't miss this) and the coastal bays. It's also only a 45 minute or so drive to the ferry to the island of Gozo (well worth a day trip).
