Amazing hosts We stayed for 5 nights whilst visiting a music festival. The check in process was simple and made all the more enjoyable by meeting Kevin and his wife at the house on our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble. The house is fantastic and the photos do not do it justice. The pool is large and spacious and the hot tub perfect for relaxing in the evening. Each bedroom is beautifully decorated and they are very large! All in all it was a fabulous experience from start to finish. ##### Stephen Y.

Sep 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good times at the Shells Had a lovely stay at the Villa with a group of 7 adults and a 2 year toddler. The property was a great setting for us to relax and unwind during our time in Malta. It's really spacious, with a large living room and kitchen area which was great for relaxing in during the heat of the day (especially with the toddler) if you didn't fancy relaxing by the pool. Which again is a great size, perfect for an early morning swim and also the steps on either side going into the pool were really useful for our 2 year old as it meant he could come into the pool and stand up. We spent a lot of time in the outside space either by the pool, enjoying a BBQ or spending time in the evening chatting and enjoying life around the large table. Plus there's an outdoor shower which a great novelty for us coming from the UK. All the bedrooms in the villa are a decent size (most are on the ground floor) and of course there is the huge master bedroom upstairs, which has an amazing view. The villa is a walkable distance to Mellieħa and a large supermarket, as we had a rental car it meant we could get around easily and not have to walk back with shopping. However I believe the Wellbee's supermarket offers a delivery service if needed. Our host Kevin was a top guy, he met us at check in and made sure we knew where everything was etc. It was a nice touch of him to message a few days into the stay to make sure we were settled in nicely. We'd be happy to come back again! ##### Jon S. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Scott T.

I booked the villa for a group of friends to use as a sort of base camp between activities. We enjoyed the villa so much we spent the whole Saturday there, enjoying the pool using the bbq. It was perfect. Thierry and Kevin were always on hand if we had any questions and the villa had everything we need. ##### Tim T. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian M.

Host is friendly and communicated regularly to ensure everything was ok. Villa was spotless. Location excellent location for heading up and down the East coast. Walking distance to bars and restaurants in the main town and shirt drive to the beach. Thoughly recommended. ##### Ian M. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris W.

Plenty of living space indoors and outdoors and each room had its own bathroom. Outside, the pool was a welcome respite from the heat (there was a heatwave during our stay), and although there was a hot tub, we didn't use that - the water in the pool was warm anyway. Everything had been thought of, from dressing gowns and toiletries, to all the equipment you need in a kitchen. The hosts were wonderful, showing us around when we arrived and keeping in touch during our stay to check everything was ok. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend. ##### Chris W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Karin M.

The property itself is a great size—very spacious and well laid out, making it ideal for a group of 8 people. It definitely has a lot of potential.However, we were disappointed by the overall experience due to poor maintenance and cleanliness. On arrival, it was clear that the villa hadn’t been properly cleaned. We encountered issues such as block drain, a dishwasher that didn’t work properly, and a noticeable ant problem throughout the house.I also made a few simple requests to make our stay more comfortable, but unfortunately, these were completely ignored from the host.For the premium price we paid, we expected a much higher standard of upkeep and guest service. It’s a shame, because with proper attention and care, this could have been an excellent stay. ##### Karin M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric A.
