    Young group of 8 of us just visited from London, the whole villa was kept in pristine condition and the rooms are well refurbished which made it an excellent stay. AC/kitchen amenities/TV very good , wifi was a tad slow. The pool is superb and the Malta weather means it wasn't a problem that it wasn't heated. The two hosts are very quick to respond and provided us with good advice of what to do and see. Luckily Transport links /shops/pubs are close by despite Mellieha being a bit further out. Loved it and would recommend to anyone.

    We absolutely loved our stay at The Shells. It is a beautiful spacious villa with stunning views at the front and private back garden with a fantastic pool and hot tub. The villa was clean and comfortable, with all the essentials in the kitchen. Communication with the host was excellent and we were made to feel at home. The villa is located less than 10 minutes walk from supermarkets and restaurants. We highly recommend staying at The Shells and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

    We felt that some features of the Villa were tired and of need of a refresh. It's situated in a lovely picturesque quiet area. We had a couple of lovely BBQs by the pool.

    We recently stayed at this villa for our holiday. 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.

    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.

    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
