Relaxing stay

We enjoyed our stay, there were a couple of minor issues but these should be easily addressed. The pool was lovely and we used Bolt for cars to local places to eat. Would recommend

Beautiful villa

We had a great week. The villa is spacious and well equipped. There were some lovely touches eg lots of cleaning equipment, bin bags and a cupboard full of extras eg spices, cooking oil and a welcome pack. These are all things that we’ve had to purchase ourselves in other villa stays. The villa is easy to get to and close to main routes down both the east and west of the island.

Perfect for a relaxing group holiday.

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.

Family holiday

Our second stay at Shells Villa as just as great this time. 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.

Fabulous house. 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.

Modern, spacious villa, perfect for our family group

This villa was ideal for our family consisting of parents, two adult sons and their girlfriends, and our teenage daughter. 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.

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!

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen

Das hat uns nicht gefallen: - Alter der Immobilie (Putz bröckelt von den Wänden, Schimmelbefall!) - Es ist keine Ferienunterkunft, sondern ein Privathaushalt, weshalb wir die Kleiderschränke, sowie den Safe nicht nutzen konnten (Der Wäscheraum war außerdem vollgemüllt) - Waschmaschiene war kaputt und es wurde sich, trotz Absprache, garnicht gekümmert - Wir haben trotz angegebener Ausstattung keine Pool-, noch Strandhandtücher bekommen (Schrank war abgeschlossen) -Alle Gartenmöbel waren defekt und die Auflagen für die Liegen waren am Schimmeln - Whirlpool hat angefangen zu riechen, Wasser fehlte und dröhnte auf voller Lautstärke Das fanden wir gut: - Lage (ruhige Umgebung) -Größe des Hauses und des Pools -Aufteilung der Schlafzimmer -Das Putzteam war sehr freundlich und ordentlich

Glorious Family Holiday

What a tremendous break we had staying here - it was a perfect family holiday villa in a great location to explore the island. The villa was equipped with everything that is needed for a holiday away from home, and its layout is ideal for both entertaining, yet also at the same time giving everyone enough space. The pool is terrific, with numerous loungers around it, allowing for the whole family to be poolside at anyone time! The hosts were superb from our arrival, to any queries we had throughout the trip, and making check out very easy indeed. A wonderful holiday had by all!
