Villa Sunnyside near St. Julian's

Was looking forward to our first family holiday with our children and grandchildren to celebrate a member of the families big birthday and was very disappointed on our arrival. On the website the villa was advertised as a villa but realistically it was four houses attached to each other with flats below!! The villa stated it was child friendly and a childs cot was there - no high chair, no safety gate. There was no mention of the house being over 5 floors. Ground floor being living/kitchen area (sheet glass window into court yard, no safety tape or any writing on it, only when you're up close do you realise there is glass there) and shower room, 1st floor- 3 bedrooms, 1 ensuite and family bathroom, top floor - 1 bedroom with en suite shower cubicle , level -1 had some childrens table sets and playhouse with further bedroom with 5 single beds and level -2, pool table, table tennis, air hockey table. The stairs from the pavement to the front door are very narrow and awkward to manoeuvre any prams and there are no safety features or guards around the pool. The property is very tired and in great need of redecoration and new furniture. The leather on the sof was split and the stuffing showing through, the zips on the cushions which should have been attached to the sofa were broken and thry didnt fit. There were no matress protectors on the beds and the bedsheets on the top floor had holes in them. I could go on but there aren't enough characters left!

We were there with family and grandchildren so we hoped for family meals at the Villa as well as visiting surrounding area. Unfortunately we could not use the dishwasher as it was rusted and dirty inside, only managed to use washing machine 3 times as we gave up due to electricity going off to be tripped each time. The oven temperature control did not work apart from full on which burnt everything. We had to contact them as shower had to be sorted (it was also very dirty) There was no cleaning products except dishwashing tablet which were of no use anyway, so we had to buy our own. After using the toilet roll they left we had to buy our own, we did complain and was handed more black bags for rubbish only. There was no useful information left re places to visit of interest or phone numbers for taxi’s or any other emergency contacts. They described the indoor pool as having a jacuzzi (this did not work) and was very cold. Some furniture was either broken or unusable and was not how the photographs and description of the online website displayed it. The general condition of the furniture and fittings was of a poor standard, and the sheets and towels also. This was all very disappointing for the price we paid. We would NOT recommend booking the Villa to anyone.

Big, spacious, quiet but quite close to most ameneties, minicab service meant no need to hire a car. due to the exceptionally hot weather the pool was a life saver! A good base from which to explore the island or just relax round the pool. A very enjoyable holiday.

DIY man was absolutely brilliant, you never hear him moaning or puffing. He always done a good job. Jane always answered our questions and if there was anything needs changing she always solved it.

Overall good property but looking tired in places. Quiet location but excellent bus and taxi services Jane was a great host and was right on hand to sort out any problems and help with booking taxis recommending trips out and restaurants to visit

We were 15 girls who stayed 7 days at Villa Sunnyside for their Graduation Journey. All of us were more than just happy with our stay there. All the electronics, the showers, and the kitchen are very well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped, but the essentials, like salt, sugar, pepper etc. are not there. On the pictures, the interior looks a bit newer than it really is, especially the deck-chairs and the beds on the lowest floor. But you never feel uncomfortable in the house. The pool is great and there is a pool guy who came to clean the pool in the middle of the week. The hosts are really great people. Jane always organized the transfers we needed very reliably and they always arrived on time, even some minutes early. She always responded to all the questions we had very quickly. The villa is very well located, only 8 minutes by foot to the next supermarket, 3 minutes to the next bus station (Malta is a great place to travel by bus), 20 minutes into Paceville (the nightlife center of St.Julians) by foot and 5 minutes by bus or ecab, to Sliema it takes about 20-25 min by bus. We loved our time at Sunnyside. Dear Jane and dear David, thank you for making our stay unforgettable!

The sleeping room in the basement with 5 beds has no daylight. In Denmark this room is illegal to be used as sleepingroom. Jane chairs extra chairs for outside use.

We were a party of ten people staying in Malta for our son and future daughter in law’s wedding. We all thoroughly enjoyed staying at Villa Sunnyside, it had everything we needed and more. Jane was very helpful, we only had to contact her once when the WiFi went off and she had arranged for someone to come to the villa within half an hour. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to family and friends. Thank you Jane and David we had a great time.

I stayed here with 9 of my friends last week and we loved the place. The house is huge with 4 floors, lovely and clean, right next to the coastal road so its pretty easy to get everywhere round the island, me and my friends love that itvwas minutes away from the strip with loads of bars to keep us entertained in the evenings. Janes was amazing at making sure we were well attended sorting us out quad bike hire and excursions. Highly recommend this place

The villa is amazing. We had one of the best times due to all the amazing things that the villa provides. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have an amazing experience in Malta. The owner was also cooperative and provided us with absolutely all the information we need. Thank you and we will surely be coming again
