Family-friendly holiday rentals in Mellieħa

Shaun went above and beyond to make our stay in Qrendi memorable. The villa, pool and spa were amazing! It was like being in our own little paradise. When we ventured out, everything was easily accessible, including Hagar Qim, Valletta and a fabulous local swimming spot just five minutes away. Plus the airport was only 15 minutes drive. Our only regret is that we didn’t have a few more nights here. If you’re lucky enough to find this villa available, book it immediately!

Our expectations for Villa Bernadette were extremely high, and those expectations were thoroughly surpassed. Victor was extremely easy to deal with, providing timely and helpful instructions with a useful visit at the start of our trip. The area is quiet, not far from the beach and the views are stunning. As a big group, the privacy and space was excellent. Each room was spotless, with spacious communal areas that provided plenty of options. Especially good were the outside areas and the huge terrace and pool with all day sunshine and sweeping views. Overall - a fantastic stay at a brilliant price. I can't recommend Villa Bernadette enough, so much so that a second trip was discussed before the first ended!

We enjoyed a very relaxing couple of weeks here. Outside space is fantastic and the pool is ideal. Thank you Antoinette for your hospitality

Stephanie was an excellent host. She sent useful information before we arrived and greeted us on arrival. There were one or two minor issues with plumbing that were sorted promptly and in a friendly manner. The place is really lovely especially the pool area. There were six of us but there is ample room for up to ten people . The Bolt taxi service is good but I would say a hire car is almost essential if, like us want to explore a lot of Malta. Mellieha is an excellent hub for water sports and the ferry to Gozo. Overall I think Citrine villa is a beautiful if a little faded gem.

Lewis was amazing, considerate and attentive. Communication was immaculate and super supportive he’s the best Airbnb host I have had, the place was just as amazing as the apartment itself, definitely worth the price and much more.

amazing accommodation, Amanda was very responsive. we were even able to arrive earlier than the scheduled time. all equipment is well maintained and new. recommends without hesitation

One of the best and most interesting places we’ve ever stayed! Mind was blown from the moment we walked in and exploring every corner of this huge property. Was the perfect home base to explore all of Malta during our 6 day stay. All amenities came in very good use and absolutely loved the layout. Highly highly recommend for a memorable stay!!

We had a lovely stay overall and the house itself was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Aaron was responsive, helpful and friendly, which we really appreciated. While we fully understand that this was beyond Aaron’s control, we feel it’s important to mention that there was ongoing construction nearby during our stay, including loud jackhammering during the day. This did impact our ability to fully enjoy the outdoor spaces. It wasn’t what we had anticipated for a quiet village. We certainly appreciated the ‘no construction rules’ on Sundays and Aaron asking them to not start too early in the morning. Still, our family loved ‘Ta Happin’ and our daily walks to the Xaghra’s main square and trips to Ramla Bay and with the noise/building works aside, we had a good experience.

Moritz was super host- super quick to reply. The apartment is in a great location in my favourite place in Malta, super outside space for relaxing and enjoying the views of Spinola Bay You have an amazing choice of superb restaurants right on your doorstep. Would definitely return. Thank you Moritz mum and I had a fabulous relaxing stay.

We cannot fault our experience with Mark Anthony. He organised a very helpful taxi driver to pick us up from the airport who knew the property location well and came back for us in the middle of the night for our return flight. As for the property it was clean, well maintained and very good value for money considering the great location. I would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

From the time of booking, communication with Tina was excellent – fast, helpful and with many useful tips (e.g. restaurant list). When we opened the balcony door, the breathtaking view of Valletta immediately inspired us. The location is ideal: ferries and buses are directly opposite, supermarket, restaurants and bars nearby. From the balcony you have a great view of the promenade of Sliema, and yet it is quiet in the apartment - the bedrooms are at the back. If we travel to Malta again, we would book this apartment again immediately. Small note: For Malta, you need an adapter for British sockets (type G).

Fantastic villa with a breathtaking view and the host was extremely welcoming.

Pawlu is a fantastic host. Super friendly and helpful. Great with recommendations and clear and easy advice on how to get from the airport and how to check in. Pawlu's place is a real 'home from home' type of place, we all settled in really well and had a fab stay. We'd highly recommend Pawlu's property to others. Marsakala is also a lovely place to stay, away from the main tourist spots, giving you the opportunity to really enjoy Malta as a local. The bus service is also excellent and we had no trouble travelling to various locations around the island. Thanks for having us.

We loved the apartment, so spacious and a great location. Appreciated the big bottle of water and wine. View over the bay was amazing! xx

Robert (and his lovely dog Duke!) was an incredible and attentive host. He provided amenities (such as a taxi service from the airport; fruit, bread and water), and helpful directions and recommendations. His apartment was full of charm and felt homey. It was steps to the water, and had views of the Upper Barrakka gardens. I highly recommend Robert’s place, and hope to return soon!

Thank you for having us! Lucy's place was very cozy, private, in a more quiet part of the city but easy to reach the rest of Valetta and other places we wanted to visit around the islands.

We really enjoyed our stay in Matthew & Elaine’s town house with our 11 month old daughter. Communication was friendly and fast and when we missed a baby chair Elaine came to bring it to us right away. It should be noted that there is a lot of construction going on, at both sides of the house, but it’s not on a all day every day basis so it didn’t bother us too much. The walk to the beach is beautiful and it’s also easy to walk to the town square with some bars. If you have a rental car the whole island is easily accessible. Last of all we really appreciated the ‘welcome package’ with some fresh produce. Thanks!

Absolutely recommended if you're looking for a peaceful and charming place to stay! We chose Gozo for our family trip (4 adults, 2 kids) because we wanted a quiet escape from the busy parts of Malta — and it was the perfect choice. The house is a beautiful traditional Gozo home in excellent condition. It had everything we needed to make our week-long stay comfortable and relaxing. Alexandra was a fantastic host — super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The key handover and tour of the house went smoothly and made us feel right at home. If we return to Malta or Gozo, we would definitely stay here again!

This was our second stay at Marthese's place, and we just love it. Perfect for a quiet week of relaxation, always spotless and comfortable, and the smart TV is a great new addition if you want a quiet night in while you're there! Thanks Marthese!

Amazing villa. Amazing view. And an amazing time in the end with friends. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you for everything Mario.

A group of 11 of use stayed here. The property was amazing! Great for a hen party! Stunning views of the beach and the pool was lush! The communal space is very big and great for a large group both inside the property and out. The pool is a lovely temperature. The bedrooms had comfy beds and fitted everyone well. There were cockroaches sighted downstairs the first night, but they were everywhere is Malta so not a fault of the accomidation. We got taxis everywhere with bolt or Uber which were very reasonable. There is a local beach area you can walk down to which is really nice and peaceful!

A truly fantastic home and an equally fantastic host in Anton! We, a family of 8, made up of children, parents and grandparents, have just had the most amazing stay in Anton’s beautiful home. The house is even better than the photos suggest, a real wow factor as you walk in. It comes nicely furnished with very comfortable beds and furniture, and the house is equipped extremely well with everything you could possibly need. Each room has its own character and charm, then you step outside into pool area and garden and the wow factor continues! We spent a lot of time here, it’s an amazing space and so private. The location in Xaghra is ideal with a few minutes stroll to the village square, a little gem filled with enough varied cafés, bars and small restaurants to keep all tastes satisfied. I must say Al Sale stood out. Then there’s Anton, who greeted and took time to show us around explaining how everything works. He’s the best host I’ve encountered, a friendly, kind and funny gentleman.

Lovely place, the location was very good, perfect little and private pool yard. Isa and Jean Paul was very easy and nice to communicate with. The place is located close to a bustop making it very easy to get around Malta

A lovely week! Alexandra was so helpful and accommodating! There is a lot of building work on Gozo and the traffic past the house did reflect this but the house was outstanding! The garage over the road was pretty noisy too! We walked a lot as the temperature was perfect for adventuring. The village Sqaure is so pretty at night and we ate at a lovely local restaurant which had the most wonderful vegetarian and fish options!! Xlendi is in walking distance and was a firm favourite along with the sand buggie tour!!! Alexandra and her team clearly care and love this house and put a lot of attention into making it a fabulous and quirky place to stay!!! Thank you for everything!
