The studio and pool were exactly as described and proved to be the base for a most relaxing holiday. Vivienne and Jo were most helpful providing the guidance we needed to ensure we settled in quickly and found our way to the local amenities. With bus stops close by and armed with a 7 day Explorer card and the "Tallinja App", that provides all the required route and timing information, exploring the island at our pace was enjoyable and simple. Well stocked supermarkets are close by provide both pre-cooked food as well as the full selection of ingredients we wanted which allowed us to enjoy cooking and eating in having enjoyed lunches at the wonderful towns and villages that we visited. Local bars and restaurants at St Georges, St Jullians and Portomaso are an easy stroll even for us in our seventies! We first came to Malta in the '60's and have made a few short visits since but the location of the Studio at Swieqi (the q is silent!) allowed us to make both nostalgic visits burnishing fond memories as well as discovering new delights. Our days started with an early swim before breakfast followed by a trip out to an interesting location and eat lunch in a local family run restaurant before returning to enjoy the calm and warmth of the poolside to read, swim and doze before shopping for an evening meal. After sundown the TV provides an amazing selection of programmes. Chatting to Vivienne and Jo completed a most relaxing and enjoyable holiday. We are certain that anyone visiting will find the same pleasures.
