Family-friendly holiday rentals in Mellieħa

A place with history, like so much of Malta but with all modern amenities. The pool and jacuzzi were really relaxing after a day's sightseeing - we spent all our time 'at home' beside the pool! Thank you Shaun for great communication and a great stay.

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.

Lewis was amazing, considerate and attentive. Communication was immaculate and super supportive he’s the best Airbnb host I have had, the place was just as amazing as the apartment itself, definitely worth the price and much more.

A lovely spacious villa - great facilities and well located. Amanda responded very quickly to any queries we had. The 11 of us had a great time here, would definitely return.

Amazing stay for a group of 10 at Rosanne’s apartment. Would recommend and would definitely stay again! X

We had a lovely stay overall and the house itself was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Aaron was responsive, helpful and friendly, which we really appreciated. While we fully understand that this was beyond Aaron’s control, we feel it’s important to mention that there was ongoing construction nearby during our stay, including loud jackhammering during the day. This did impact our ability to fully enjoy the outdoor spaces. It wasn’t what we had anticipated for a quiet village. We certainly appreciated the ‘no construction rules’ on Sundays and Aaron asking them to not start too early in the morning. Still, our family loved ‘Ta Happin’ and our daily walks to the Xaghra’s main square and trips to Ramla Bay and with the noise/building works aside, we had a good experience.

Moritz was super host- super quick to reply. The apartment is in a great location in my favourite place in Malta, super outside space for relaxing and enjoying the views of Spinola Bay You have an amazing choice of superb restaurants right on your doorstep. Would definitely return. Thank you Moritz mum and I had a fabulous relaxing stay.

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.

fabians place was clean and tidy, fabian himself was very helpful, he gave clear instructions and directions and was a pleasant and helpful host checking in us regularly would definately recommend his place

Pawlu is a fantastic host. Super friendly and helpful. Great with recommendations and clear and easy advice on how to get from the airport and how to check in. Pawlu's place is a real 'home from home' type of place, we all settled in really well and had a fab stay. We'd highly recommend Pawlu's property to others. Marsakala is also a lovely place to stay, away from the main tourist spots, giving you the opportunity to really enjoy Malta as a local. The bus service is also excellent and we had no trouble travelling to various locations around the island. Thanks for having us.

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!

We loved the apartment, so spacious and a great location. Appreciated the big bottle of water and wine. View over the bay was amazing! xx

We stayed at Duncan's place for nearly 3 months. Felt very much at home. The location was ideal and very peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house and in Gozo. Would thoroughly recommend.

Thank you for having us! Lucy's place was very cozy, private, in a more quiet part of the city but easy to reach the rest of Valetta and other places we wanted to visit around the islands.

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!

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!

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!

it was lovely, the photos don’t give it enough justice. Really big, modern. Host was really helpful and arranged transport from the airport to the Airbnb. Would recommend to anyone visiting Malta. The accomodation made our trip. Such a beautiful area and Ubers really reasonable to get to and from places

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.

Lovely place, the location was very good, perfect little and private pool yard. Isa and Jean Paul was very easy and nice to communicate with. The place is located close to a bustop making it very easy to get around Malta

Fantastic villa with a breathtaking view and the host was extremely welcoming.

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.
