Family-friendly holiday rentals in Malta

We had a lovely time at Victor’s place with my family for a week’s holiday in April. Had the chance to explore the local area whilst using the house as a base. 10/10 house, lovely place to relax with everything we needed.

Wir waren eine knappe Woche in der Unterkunft von Shaun und hatten eine tolle Zeit. Das Ferienhaus ist mit den um den Innenhof liegenden Zimmern sehr gut aufgeteilt und bot allen Komfort. Der Pool und der Whirlpool waren sauber und hatte vor allem eine tolle Beleuchtung. Fußläufig haben wir alles gut erreichen können, auch bis zum Meer ist es nicht weit. Der Gastgeber Shawn war immer gut erreichbar, wenn wir Fragen hatten.

Loved the house and location, had a 360 view of the sea from the roof terrace. The children enjoyed their time in the swimming pools. Had all the amenities needed for a home away from home. The cleaner and owner were very helpful and accommodating to our family and we really appreciate that.

Twilight is a lovely villa, tucked away along a quiet lane but a quiet and beautiful walk away from two Lighthouse supermarkets. There’s also a lovely restaurant on the church square in San Lawrenz. Having an en suite each was great. Wi-Fi was fast and worked well by the pool. Aircon was excellent. The pool was the best feature of the house… the pool terrace is lovely, gets the sun all day and that view! Also we were always able to find shade… didn’t use the hot tub as it was so hot but a great addition for cooler months. Take bug spray we all got a few bites. We also bought a citronella candle for evenings. Great communication from Kevin, nothing too much trouble.

Stephanie was an excellent host. She sent useful information before we arrived and greeted us on arrival. There were one or two minor issues with plumbing that were sorted promptly and in a friendly manner. The place is really lovely especially the pool area. There were six of us but there is ample room for up to ten people . The Bolt taxi service is good but I would say a hire car is almost essential if, like us want to explore a lot of Malta. Mellieha is an excellent hub for water sports and the ferry to Gozo. Overall I think Citrine villa is a beautiful if a little faded gem.

Nous avons séjourné dans la maison de Aaron fin avril pour une semaine de randonnées sur l’ile de Gozo. Aaron a été très aimable et arrangeant à notre arrivée. La maison est tres confortable, propre et conforme à la description. La piscine egalement est impeccable et bien que l’eau soit un peu fraiche en avril nous avons pu en profité sans problème. Au niveau des équipements il ne manque rien. La maison est située dans un village comportant de nombreux chantiers de construction il y a donc quelques nuisances sonores en journée mais cela reste tolérable d’autant que nous etions absent le plus souvent pour profiter de la beauté de l’ ́ile. Nous avions choisi de louer un voiture mais il est également possible de s’en passer grace au reseau de bus qui permet de rayonner sur l’ile. Un arret de bus se trouve d’ailleurs à deux pas de la maison. Nous recommandons vivement la maison d’Aaron et le remercions encore pour son acceuil, sa disponibilité et sa gentillesse.

Lovely relaxing house with lots of character. Steps to go down to the pool. Not many grocery shops close by, but not a problem if you have a car. Bolt and Wolt do a fine job at delivering food too. The host answered our questions and saw to our problems promptly.

Wow - what an amazing property! 16 of us stayed as part of a bridal party for our wedding in Malta. From the start Rosanne was very responsive and helpful with the questions we had. The kitchen area is big and never felt congested with all the guests. Rooms were as described and what was reflective in photos - dated but very clean. Air con worked well in every room. Wi-Fi is not great if you are not in main kitchen area but who needs WiFi when on holiday?! The outside area is stunning and there is so much room. Because we were staying for our wedding, there were others who were staying in Malta. As there is a lot of room outside, it was no problem for our parents and friends coming round to socialise by the pool/outdoor kitchen. We organised cleaners to come in midway through the trip (when we were at our wedding) and it was unbelievable how they turned round the place from how it was left. Great service. Really can’t recommend this place highly enough. It ticks so many boxes.

We cannot fault our experience with Mark Anthony. He organised a very helpful taxi driver to pick us up from the airport who knew the property location well and came back for us in the middle of the night for our return flight. As for the property it was clean, well maintained and very good value for money considering the great location. I would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Schon ab der Buchung war die Kommunikation mit Tina hervorragend – schnell, hilfsbereit und mit vielen nützlichen Tipps (z. B. Restaurantliste). Beim Öffnen der Balkontür hat uns der atemberaubende Blick auf Valletta sofort begeistert. Die Lage ist ideal: Fähren und Busse sind direkt gegenüber, Supermarkt, Restaurants und Bars in der Nähe. Vom Balkon hat man einen tollen Blick auf die Promenade von Sliema, und trotzdem ist es in der Wohnung ruhig – die Schlafzimmer liegen nach hinten. Wenn wir wieder nach Malta reisen, würden wir dieses Apartment sofort wieder buchen. Kleiner Hinweis: Für Malta braucht man einen Adapter für britische Steckdosen (Typ G).

Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Es war alles vorhanden, was wir gebraucht haben. Und auch noch viel mehr! Es gab Gewürze, Öl, Salz, Zucker, Kaffee.... so dass wir nicht alles fürs Frühstück neu kaufen mussten. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Die Klimaanlage haben wir nicht genutzt, so warm war es Ende Mai noch nicht. Bei Fragen kam immer sehr zeitnah eine nette Antwort von Pawlu. Vielen Dank dafür! In der Nähe sind einige kleine Geschäfte, wo man wochentags noch bis 22 Uhr einkaufen kann. Restaurants sind auch fußläufig erreichbar. Eine klare Empfehlung geht an die ZION Bar. Den schönen Garten haben wir leider erst nach dem leckeren Essen gesehen. Hier gibt es sogar eine kleine Tanzfläche! Am besten mit dem Bus fahren, ist aber auch zu Fuß machbar. Die Straße hoch zur Wohnung ist leider sehr steil, aber es wurde jeden Tag besser. 😆 Malta ist einfach traumhaft schön! 👍

Robert (and his lovely dog Duke!) was an incredible and attentive host. He provided amenities (such as a taxi service from the airport; fruit, bread and water), and helpful directions and recommendations. His apartment was full of charm and felt homey. It was steps to the water, and had views of the Upper Barrakka gardens. I highly recommend Robert’s place, and hope to return soon!

My partner and I had the best time at Sim's property. It is a beautiful flat, spacious and comfortable. Sim's recommendations were spot on and not like anything we had seen before - his level of detail in the information he sent before check in was unheard of. We are very happy to have stayed at Sim's flat and definitely recommend it!

Appartement très bien situé avec une vue sur le port très agréable. Station familiale loin des touristes. Très propre et extrêmement bien agencé avec tout le nécessaire. Je recommande à 100%. Très réactif le papa !

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Lucy. L’emplacement est idéal pour visiter les 3 cités, et à proximité du ferry pour se rendre à La Valette. La maison est typique maltaise, très charmante et la rue est joli et calme. Le toit terrasse est un plus, fort agréable pour profiter des soirées. Il est facile de se garer à proximité. Lucy est de plus une hôte très réactive et disponible pour répondre à toutes les questions. Lucy met a disposition un classeur avec toutes les recommandations nécessaires pour passer un excellent séjour : restaurants, plages, sites à visiter, etc. Des adaptateurs sont également disponibles dans son logement pour les prises européennes. Nous recommandons vivement Lucy et son logement pour un séjour sur Malte !

First time in Malta and stayed at Guil's place as visiting friends who live nearby. Everything was on point. Could walk everywhere and short 10 minute walk to Valetta which we enjoyed in the mornings before the crowd. Great spot away from tourists in a local area, and our friends who lived nearby commented on how great a spot it was. Apartment is amazing, air con, great balcony and entertaining area. Will be back!! A way to be amongst the history of Malta with the luxury of a great apartment. Cheers!

Absolutely recommended if you're looking for a peaceful and charming place to stay! We chose Gozo for our family trip (4 adults, 2 kids) because we wanted a quiet escape from the busy parts of Malta — and it was the perfect choice. The house is a beautiful traditional Gozo home in excellent condition. It had everything we needed to make our week-long stay comfortable and relaxing. Alexandra was a fantastic host — super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The key handover and tour of the house went smoothly and made us feel right at home. If we return to Malta or Gozo, we would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay in Matthew & Elaine’s town house with our 11 month old daughter. Communication was friendly and fast and when we missed a baby chair Elaine came to bring it to us right away. It should be noted that there is a lot of construction going on, at both sides of the house, but it’s not on a all day every day basis so it didn’t bother us too much. The walk to the beach is beautiful and it’s also easy to walk to the town square with some bars. If you have a rental car the whole island is easily accessible. Last of all we really appreciated the ‘welcome package’ with some fresh produce. Thanks!

This was our second stay at Marthese's place, and we just love it. Perfect for a quiet week of relaxation, always spotless and comfortable, and the smart TV is a great new addition if you want a quiet night in while you're there! Thanks Marthese!

A truly fantastic home and an equally fantastic host in Anton! We, a family of 8, made up of children, parents and grandparents, have just had the most amazing stay in Anton’s beautiful home. The house is even better than the photos suggest, a real wow factor as you walk in. It comes nicely furnished with very comfortable beds and furniture, and the house is equipped extremely well with everything you could possibly need. Each room has its own character and charm, then you step outside into pool area and garden and the wow factor continues! We spent a lot of time here, it’s an amazing space and so private. The location in Xaghra is ideal with a few minutes stroll to the village square, a little gem filled with enough varied cafés, bars and small restaurants to keep all tastes satisfied. I must say Al Sale stood out. Then there’s Anton, who greeted and took time to show us around explaining how everything works. He’s the best host I’ve encountered, a friendly, kind and funny gentleman.

Un excellent séjour à Paola ! Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans cette maison bien équipée et fonctionnelle. Tout était propre, confortable et conforme à la description. La piscine est un vrai plus pour se détendre lors d’une journée off ou après une journée de visite. La localisation à Paola est idéale, la maison se trouve à proximité des arrêts de bus, ce qui permet de se déplacer facilement partout sur l’île. Nous avons également beaucoup apprécié la communication avec les hôtes, qui ont été très réactifs, disponibles et chaleureux tout au long du séjour. Nous recommandons vivement cette adresse pour découvrir Malte !

Nous avons été très bien accueillis par Andrew. Le logement est spacieux, bien entretenu et bien équipé avec une très belle terrasse avec piscine et grand barbecue. Logement idéal pour un groupe d'amis ou une grande famille. Nous y avons passé une très bonne semaine. Une belle adresse à retenir !

We stayed in four properties during our trip to Malta & Gozo. This was by far the most professional and communicative host with the highest standard. The property has been cleverly thought through- from potato peelers and cheese graters to deckchairs- they are excellent quality. You are made to feel that you are valued and the host has not provided you with cheap utensils. The finish overall was amazing. It was well stocked with everything- indoor and pool towels. The tv is easy to use- we got Amazon Prime working easily. The pool is gorgeous and very peaceful. We felt safe as a family of four and found getting places using Bolt no problem.

"Wonderful stay! The apartment was clean, comfortable, and looked exactly like the pictures. Great location—just a short walk to restaurants. The private pool area was a lovely touch, well-used, and gets sun for most of the day. The host, Shawn, was very helpful and responsive. He even greeted us at the apartment despite our flight arriving really late, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!"
