Overall we enjoyed our stay, however the property is not very welcoming. The house sleeps 11, I believe, and about four people could sit in the so-called living room. There wasn’t a cutting board to be found, and we didn’t do very well with the coffee maker either. so I thought the kitchen was not very well set up. One night we decided to dine outside at the table by the pool and there were five of us adults and not one of us could figure out how to open the umbrella, we are pretty sure it’s broken. also, there were many booklets at the property and emails prior to arriving that were just filled with rules. I’m a 61 year old woman and those rules really seemed inappropriate to be hammered on us. I can see them possibly being useful for maybe large parties. But it felt very unwelcoming for our family group. As we always take very good care of the properties we stay in. We have stayed in many properties like this and our group is not very hard to please. Overall, I would say we enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable and each bedroom has its own bathroom, which was very nice.

I booked this villa for myself and my family. Me and my husband were marrying in Malta during our stay. I cannot thank the owners enough for their support in making sure the property was perfect for our special day. We arrived to a small food package. The house was perfect. We were greated by Josette who was so helpful and offered her help through the whole of our stay. Whenever we may of needed something she would try her best to make sure we had it. Our holiday has been truly magical and Villa Blueberrys has been a big part of that. The villa comes well equipped with essentials. Sunloungersaround the pool are comfortable and clean. Beautiful views for garden and pool area. Lovely to have an ensuite bathroom with every bedroom and large bathroom on ground floor. Pool table kept children and adults occupied inside. Bbq was clean. Bedrooms spacious. Driveway and plenty of parking.

We booked, as a party of 10, to stay in Blueberry Hills but due to building works next door, advised well in advance, we agreed to stay at Villa Valetta so the review is for that property. Villa Valetta had 4 bedrooms rather than 5 (not as ideal) and a bit smaller but we were offered a discount, and owners very helpful. The villa is located between Marsakala and Marsaxlokk and we liked the fact that it was away from the main tourist idea, and within 20-25 minutes walk of both fishing villages, which we liked. We also caught the local buses to visit other places; so easy to get around. The villa itself was lovely, with a small swimming pool - a tad chilly as it was April but we used it - and we had fresh eggs every morning. All but one of the rooms were en-suite with an additional bathroom on the landing and one downstairs. The villa was comfortable (other than hard pillows) and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We stayed for 5 days and wished we had booked for a week, and have come home with lots of fun memories! There were three families and all of us would recommend staying here and would seriously consider coming back another time but definitely to a slight bigger villa. Thank you

We had an amazing week, the villas are really beautiful and we definitely will book again.

We stayed for 10 days just after New Year and had a marvellous time. Landlord put us up in one of their larger holiday homes due to construction in the booked one. The whole adminsitration part was effortless. Any questions we had upon arrival or in the cause of our stay were answered swiftly. The location is convenient and even a bus stop to Valetta is reached in a reasonable time on foot. Would book again. Thanks for an enjoyable holiday.

We loved sitting on the back terrace enjoying the distant views of Valletta. The kitchen is huge with a marble topped table big enough for 10 people. Beautifully furnished with antique furniture. 5 bedrooms (4 on 2nd floor, 1 on 3rd floor), each with its own bathroom plus full bath downstairs. Josette was at our “beck and call”, answering texts, coming over in person, etc. Thank you! Parking is a bit tricky as is driving around Malta if you rent a car! But the buses are very easy to use. One stop is right at the villa to Marsaxlokk. One to Valletta is about 400 meters away. €1.50 per person good for 2 hours with transfers. Tip: Use Google Maps public transportation to check bus schedules and locations!

Stay: 7 days 27th Oct to 3rd Nov - family of 5 with youngest child 11 The good stuff: --------------------- The villa is large and each room has an ensuite. The pool is large and the outside area is attractive. The kitchen is a great size and fairly well equipped. The living area is nice and the snooker table is a real plus. The general location close to Valletta, Marsascala and Marsaxlokk is ok would suit large group esp those without kids The not so good stuff: ----------------------------- The beds are very hard and mattresses of poor quality. The sheets are equally poor for this kind of property. The pool was dirty and had algae growing around the sides and the water drains all round the pool were broken and cracked in many places which would be dangerous for kids. Despite promises to clean/fix this was not done by the time we left after a week. On arrival a bunch of things were broken - including the air conditioning meter, bulbs, outside lights, kettle. While some of these were addressed reasonably quickly many were still broken when we left. The specific location is on a main road near a narrowing point and you have cars and horns going from as early as 6am. The roof in the top room leaked and the room became quite damp. The owners say they fixed the problem but we did not have further rain to verify. The TV and AV is not great - apparently the TV was new but it is linked via a very noisy SCART cable to a very old satellite box and on many channels the hum was unbearable. There is no DVD player which was a surprise for this type of property. Customer service: ------------------------ While it was easy to report issues and promises were made many things were not resolved. The owner explained in so many words "It is the end of the season, what do you expect" Well for this kind of money I do expect to at least get what we have paid for. Additional things such as Internet are very expensive - and given the problems we had the least we expected was an apology and some small concession such as the £70 for Internet to not be charged - but sadly neither were forthcoming. Conclusions: ----------------- I cannot recommend this property for families - better for large party type groups of younger people. Maybe customer service norms are different in Malta - it was our first time there - but the owners did not provide what we have experienced in Greece and France.

The house is perfect for a family as the pool is really big and very inviting! As the building is made of very thick honey-coloured limestone the rooms remain cool even on the hot days. Great kitchen. We only went out for dinner 3 times! We highly recommend it! Thanks Chris and Josette!
