This was a Lovely villa, that is well looked after. With many interesting details and characteristic. There is a fish and turtle pond that is a nice touch. The pool area is an absolute treat. Bring along a few DVD/CD (Blue ray optional), go for a swim, then watch movies on the projector after a long day. Our host Paul and Josanne went above and beyond to make our holiday go that bit smoothly. They are wonderful people, on a beautiful country. Thank you very much for making this holiday that bit extra special.

The apartment was convenient and well-equipped, the hosts are friendly, very communicative and helpful in any respect. The garden’s been the greatest surprise for us – a real Paradise garden with countless details. As it was January we couldn’t take full advantage of the swimming pool, but even then the water looked fresh and encouraging. The house is situated in a nice safe place where you can start also walking trips. We liked doing it late at nights. If we travel to Malta again we’ll certainly visit our nice hosts.

The whole property is very pleasant and we enjoyed sunbathing and chilling around the swimming pool and the BBQ. Paul and Josanne are great hosts, they took care of us in such a nice way. The house is a bit far from Paceville and Sant Julian, but accessible by bus.

Une propriété située sur les hauteurs de Malte dans un quartier résidentiel très calme. Les extérieurs sont enchanteurs et agencés avec bon goût. Le pourtour de la piscine est magnifique de jour comme de nuit. Quel plaisir de s'y baigner ou bien d'y déjeuner ou diner. Le lieu de vie et de couchage est fonctionnel mais manque de lumière naturelle par manque d'ouverture. Les propriétaires sont accueillants, gentils et serviables. Endroit à recommander en famille.

We were booked in for two weeks this month - October 2015. Prior to booking Paul was superbly helpful and as a result we really had very high expectations of the accommodation. We were really quite horrified at what we found. The apartment is in fact in the basement with one tiny window. The inside was very musty, one of our party, an asthmatic, felt her chest tightening due to the presence of mould spores in the air, the living area was cramped with poor quality seating and the cooker was rusty. That was the bit that most offended me. Why insult visitors with a cooker that has been badly painted to hide the rust? The top of it was also dirty with bits of food stuck on it which I was picking off with my nails. The flat entrance is below the level of the fish and turtle ponds. The smell that came down into the doorway - the only way in or out - was just horrid. Paul was thoroughly decent and offered us an Immediate and full refund which we accepted and also allowed us to use his internet at no cost to find alternative accommodation. We cannot fault Paul in how he dealt with us but a bit of me is quite angry that we almost flew home on the day we arrived because of the poor and unacceptable standard of accommodation.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Colours villa, Madliena, late September / early October 2014, when we got married at the nearby Torre Paulina. In total there were 11 of us sharing, 4 couples and 3 individuals. It was nothing short of superb! The apartments provided us with all that we needed. The pool, gardens, jacuzzi and other outdoor facilities were exquisite, especially with us having exclusive use. Being able to crawl out of bed and jump into our own pool was sheer luxury! The weather was glorious. The villa is situated in a complex with other villas and is secluded, with no outside interference. You’ll need a hire car or taxis to get about, though, as the villa is located at the top of a big hill! We cannot thank the hosts, Paul and Josanne, enough! Their local knowledge, assistance and willingness to go the extra mile proved invaluable and made our stay both relaxing and very memorable; they even put out the red carpet when we got back from our wedding! Their family dog, Hank, also kept us amused. We would have no hesitation in recommending the villa. Julie, Steve and family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at these fabulous apartments. Paul and Josanne are just the best! From the moment we booked our stay, communication was brilliant - all questions answered with a very friendly manner. As I already knew they island, I was particularly interested in staying in Madliena as it is wonderfully peaceful and away from the real hustle and bustle. Nathaniel (Paul and Josanne's son) picked us up at the airport (exactly where I was told he would be - amazing!) and drove us to the apartment, happily taking a small detour so I could show my daughter my old flat! As it was evening, he also took us to the supermarket so we could stock up on essentials. When we arrived at the apartments, we were blown away by how pretty the garden area is - all lit up at night it has a fairytale feel to it. My daughter (who is 7) was completely overawed and desperate to get into the pool (which has an illuminated 'cave' - their own Blue Grotto!). The apartment was bigger than expected. Paul had put on the fire ready for us so it was all cosy. Having two bathrooms was definitely useful, especially as my daughter was in and out of the pool every day (in November!) Paul and Josanne were so helpful. We rented a car - not just because the apartment is up a hill (and I am lazy!) but because the best bits of the island are off the beaten track. Josanne put me in touch with a rental company who were also really accommodating, even letting me change drop off times and places at the last minute. Fab car as well! When the weather turned slightly cold, Paul and Josanne brought us duvets just in case. So kind! Rosie, my daughter, says: "This is the best place I have EVER stayed. The pool was great and I went swimming all the time. Hank, the dog, is brilliant. He is really friendly and likes towels! I thought he might bark but he didn't. The turtles are cool too. I liked my bedroom because the bed was really comfy and I really liked the kitchen because I could watch TV after I had been swimming and mum made scrambled eggs. I want to go back again next year and every year!" I would definitely recommend staying at these apartments (we stayed in Yellow). However, if you are after an easy walk to bars, restaurants etc then you may wish to look elsewhere (but ask Paul, he can help you!). Paul and Josanne are kind, accommodating, so friendly and amusing and definitely concerned that their guests are happy. They certainly helped make our holiday wonderful!

That was our first holiday in Malta, but I hope not last :) Arrived late and tired in Malta airport. Josanne (villa owner) send me instructions how to get to villa. We still manage to get lost, so she send her son to meet us. That was helpful. Villa is in a quiet area and car is essential to get to places. Nearest food shop 15 min away doh. Facilities exactly what expected. We rented yellow apartments, enough space for four adults and my 8 year old son. Two showers came very handy too. Swimming pool was bit too cold for me, but my friends had a dip on a sunny days. Garden absolutely great, a shame never had barbecue - not enough time. Oh well maybe next time :) Every time of our stay Josanne was very helpful, but not too much in your face..:) Villa is great for family or group of friends. Good for value. For couples I would look for something more luxury..
