I will begin with the pros of the house: nice layout, clean, attractive Maltese style, good pool and patio area. Unfortunately, the owners sort of ruin the experience. There are warnings and rule placards everywhere warning about damage and what we will be fined for. I understand the temptation vrbo hosts may have to reduce damage or think of every possible bad situation, but this RUINS the vacation experience and does not lend a sense of hospitality or welcome. We felt as though the owners would rather we weren’t there, a “stay here but don’t touch anything” sort of attitude. I am a VRBO host and use none of these harsh practices. The owner also tried to get me to pay a cash deposit, either in hand or via a bank transfer. This is against VRBO policy. You have the right to refuse this and ask the owner to contact vrbo to handle a deposit, though your credit card. DO NOT give these people cash. You likely won’t see it again because they’ll try to blame you for damage and keep it. Be advised.

Lovely villa
Stayed here as a family of 4 in October 2018.
Exactly what we were looking for, private pool, bbq and proper chill out time.
Owners were nice and helpful and even granted us a late check out on the last day.
There are 2 shops near by which are well stocked for daily needs and even a pizza take away shop about 2 mins from the villa.
The owners left us local taxi numbers in the info book which we used to go to the local towns (10 euros) and we had a few evening meals in town which were great.
Kids made the most of having our own pool and overall it was a Great chill out holiday!

Mela......this is the place !
well, where to start ?
Thanks to Chris and his Josette who simply arranged a perfect stay for us. A cosy farmhouse, equipped with all things you need, all perfect clean and the atmosphere you cannot disbribe, you have to feel it. Coming since 30 years to Malta this was the first time ever I stayed in the South of the Island. A perfect combination of holiday and business (a lot of meetings I had at the pool site...) and a hospitality I have not met before (in the North of the Island)....So, this place I can highly recommend to all who want to have a feeling of the real Malta (just a bit away from the hectic Sliema / St. Julians / Buggiba area) and beside this...a big THANK YOU to Chris and his family for making this happen.

Good base
A very charming house. We were met by Josette, the owner, who handed us the keys and answered our queries. The house itself is charming and provided us with a good base to tour the island which is beautiful. Next time will try to come in summer to be able to enjoy the pool!

Charming
A very charming house restored to its original features. It provided a lovely base to explore Malta. The house has a well-equipped kitchen and all necessities. It was very clean and the owners were very helpful. The pool area was lovely as well. Would surely recommend it!

Quaint villa
We stayed at this house recently and must say that it was a relaxing holiday. The house is a typical Maltese farmhouse with swimming pool. It provided all necessary amenities and we all loved chilling out by the pool and having barbecues in the evening. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

WOW
A very well-kept, well-equipped and clean villa in a quiet location. We opted to spend our holiday in a self-catering villa as we had two of our children and in-laws staying with us. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere, relaxing by the pool and organizing barbecues in the evening! A truly enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Will be back next year!

Wonderful family vacation
We spent a week here with our two young boys (aged 4 and 1) and loved it. We rented a car and this was a great home base for us to explore the rest of Malta from. We especially loved being able to come home after a busy day exploring and cool off in our own pool. Our 4 year old even learned to swim on his own. He'll never forget having his own pool!

Great Place for a Wonderful Stay at a Fascinating Place
We were lucky enough to have spent a little over a week in Malta in March, and we were even luckier to have booked Strawberry Villa as a place to stay for our little group. It was spacious, scrupulously clean, fully equipped and well located outside Valetta, right opposite the local bus stop with low-cost service into the city. The manager, Josette, was wonderful and went out of her way to be helpful, arranging a mid-week tour and even locating a lost hat and ensuring its return. Malta is a hidden jewel (possibly not so hidden nowadays). We should have stayed longer. If you need three bedrooms and privacy for each member of a group, and want excellent cooking facilities, close to a nearby butcher shop and grocery, at a very reasonable price, this is an ideal place. It wasn't the season to make use of the outdoor facilities, including the pool, but this would be nice in the summer. Superb place and a joy to live in for our week of tourism in Malta!

WOW!
I almost hate to write this review as I wanted this villa to be mine. I had one of my best holidays ever and reading by the pool in the garden really served as a refreshing holiday away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life in London. Thanks to the wonderful owners.

This property exceeded my expectations. We were travelling around Europe and Malta was our last stop. The ages in our group of six ranged from 9 to 60 years. We had a wonderful time at the villa. It had all that we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and also stocked with some spices. The villa is cozy and the garden really made our evenings special. Highly recommended to families of 6.

Ideal Vacation Spot
I spent 13 days in November at the villa. The weather was perfect and it was practically sunny every day. The owner was always very accommodating and eager to make our holiday a special one. The kitchen is fabulous and has all the equipment required. I have distant relatives living in Malta and they really fell in love with this villa in fact they want to book it for a weekend break in winter. The location is ideal as it is very close to some of the best restaurants in Malta. I will book the villa once again as soon as I return home.

Kein Preis- Leistungsverhältnis!Feuer am 12.09.
Auf dem Bild erscheint alles sehr schoen aber je länger man sich etwas anschaut, desto mehr sieht man.Der Geschirrspüler ist veraltet, laute Drahtstäbe zu sehen.Die Waschmaschine, auf 40 Grad gestellt, lief etwa 3 Std. lang, weil sie nicht funktionstüchtig ist. Die Sachen haben sich verfärbt. Es fehlen Töpfe für 6 Personen Haushalt, es waren nur 2 kleine und 1 großer Topf. Die Pfanne war zerkratzt, und wie bekannt, es ist giftig.Solche Pfanne verursacht Krebskrankheiten.Küchenstühle waren zu niedrig im Vergleich zum Tisch. Ich mußte mich immer auf dem Kopfkissen hinsetzen, damit es bequem wird.Bin 167 cm groß. Eine Küchengasplatte hat nicht funktionert, es war einfach kaputt. Das gleiche gilt für Flaschen und Dosenöffner. Die Handtücher sind alt und verwaschen. Wahrscheinlich interresiert es die Besitzer sowas gar nicht.Im Bad gibt es genug Platz, um dort eine Kosmetikablage zu befestigen, leider das fehlte auch. Selbst ein Hocker würde schon reichen.Mußte ständig meine Kosmetiksachen aus dem Zimmer ins Bad mitnehmen. Wunderschön präsentiert sich ein großer Schirm am Pool drausen- das ist aber auf dem Foto, weil die Realität zeigt uns keine Spur davon.Es ist einfach verschwunden.Es diente lediglich um schöne Fotos zu machen um einen guten Eindruck zu gewinnen und viele Sterne zu bekommen, weil wie wir ersehen können- Villa Strowberry hat fast 5 Sterne bekommen! Ich frage mich wofür? Die Liegestühle sind abgenutzt und wenn man sich hinsetzt, hat man einen Gefühl in der Wippe zu liegen. Sie sind unbequem und genau am Rücken bekommt man durch den Metallstab starke Schmerzen. Das
Holzgestell kann man auch vergessen. Es fehlen auch die Ablagen auf den Liegestühlen, was allerdings in der Villa nebenan zu sehen ist. Mein Schlafzimmer hat ein Fenster direkt auf die Hauptstrasse gerichtet, so daß man nachts nur beim geschlossenem Fenster schlafen konnte. Das Lärm ist unerträglich durch dort fahrende Motors, Autos ect.Man ist also gezwungen bei der geschalteten Klimaanlage zu schlafen, wofür noch extra Geld kassiert wird.Im anderen Schlafzimmer ist die Minidusche für Zwerge, das Wasser fließt nicht sondern tropft.Für die Besitzerin Frau Josette ist cash wichtig und sogar viel cash. Sie war nett solange bis sie uns ihren kaltgepressten Oil verkauft hatte und wir bei ihr alle Ausflüge gebucht und bezahlt haben. Wir haben satte Summe für 2 Wochen im September dort bezahllt. Keiner hat uns dazu gezwungen aber die tolle Beschreibung der Villa hat gesiegt.Am 12.09.Feuer!

A perfect getaway
Not only booking is so straightforward, Josette the owner is ready to help you with any queries one might have. We got a friendly welcome once we arrived there and were impressed with the cleanliness and space this villa offers. A well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and an overall cosy feel to the villa are just a few perks to mention about this accommodation. Our son had the time of his life swimming in the pool and there is also a good provision of sun loungers which offered us the relaxing time that my husband and I were looking for. We will definitely come again.

An Ideal Holiday
This villa is very well-furnished with a well-equipped kitchen and a fabulous pool / bbq area. It boasts that Maltese traditional finish which makes you appreciate the island even more. Although set in a quiet area in the South of Malta we were pleased to find that mini markets, convenience stores and the beach were only a few minutes away. It truly is good value for money especially if you are after that relaxing holiday where you just want to unwind and do nothing except swim, lounge and have barbeques.

Spectacular!
My wife and I could not ask for better – great location, amazing views and a cosy place. It was the perfect gift for our anniversary and after sampling the perks of staying in a traditional Maltese villa we will never go back to staying in a hotel when in Malta. Strawberry Hills has offered us the peace and quiet we were striving for with the beach and convenience stores just a few minutes away. Its pool and barbeque area along with the well-equipped kitchen is enough to make you want to go again.

Must come back
Just wonderful! My partner and I decided to opt for a traditional villa for our second holiday in Malta. We came with another 2 couples so we needed a spacious place and Strawberry Hills was the perfect option. Josette, the owner, came to greet us and made us feel right at home. The beauty of this villa is that despite its size it is somewhat cosy making your holiday one to remember. The well equipped kitchen and pool area kept us entertained throughout our holiday. We can really say that had the break we all needed away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Home Away from Home
If you are after that traditional Maltese feel this is the villa to go for! Set in the beautiful area of Zejtun and close to Marsascala, my husband and I decided to take a holiday with a difference. We are glad that we opted for this villa rather than a hotel because this felt like home away from home. Josette makes you feel so welcome and is always ready to help you out and point out areas of interest around Malta. The pool / bbq area was a big bonus as we got to spend most evenings there relaxing by the pool. It was an ideal place for our young daughter as well. The place was impeccably clean. It is definitely an accommodation worth going to whether you have a family or going with friends.

The villa was as presented in the photos - luxurious inside, quiet and private. Rooms are lovely, lots of info about local area, and only moments from a bus stop so we did not need to rent a vehicle. It was an easy walk to Marsascala, and for those who enjoy walking, it was a pleasant walk to Marsaxlokk, Peter's Pool, and many historical spots. The nearby bus stop gives quick access to the centre of Valletta and to other parts of the island. Villa owner Chris recommended Taj Familja restaurant in Marsascala and it was good as promised. Great food, great service. Check out Fort Tas-Silg, an old British fort nearby, which now houses a dog sanctuary. Walked through it, followed by dozens of dogs who live in the army buildings, including the old Officer's Mess. Really one of the most interesting things I have seen. We would stay here again.
