    We had already came here 2 years prior. the pool was still lovely and cool even in the nice sun the beach chairs provided were lovely and comfortable. we were surprised to know that the burners were changed and modernized and so was the bathroom. I love the fact that Cats will visit you if your cooking on the BBQ.

    because of the sun being present swimming on the pool its more common to get sunburns, however this can be solved by being dedicated to applying sun protection. depending on the person people might not like the fact that cats will visit unprompted while cooking.

    Loved the location (just outside Victoria), the pool, the facilities, the cleanliness, the setting (overlooking the Lunzjata valley) and the traditional building. Our host, Thomas, is a lovely man who is on hand if needed but otherwise leaves you alone to just enjoy your holiday. In short, absolutely EVERYTHING!

    Having to leave 😪

    Thomas was an exceptional host. He was very considerate and accommodating, even helping us arrange airport/ferry transfers. He really made us feel at home. The millhouse itself was perfect for our family and had everything we needed. Thank you, Thomas!

    The swimming pool is a good size with the added bonus of the jacuzzi. Spacious living area and with separate kitchen. Large, very comfy bed with terrace overlooking the valley, great for early morning coffee. The owner meets us on site and is very helpful with the knowledge of the house and the area. Great stay for every occasion.

    The pool area was very good and the views from the back of the property were excellent.

    The property was not as described on Booking.com. There was no sofa in the property. The only seating other than dining chairs were very uncomfortable cane chairs. Not acceptable that the photos and descriptions on Bookings show and state the property contains a sofa. There is no access to the bedrooms from the living room area. You have to enter the bedrooms from an external stone staircase. This may be okay during summertime but during November during darkness and with poor lighting it is dangerous. The Main bedroom only had a sheet on the bed unlike the photos on Bookings.com, a number of blankets were in a wardrobe but were covered in hairs. The property lacked the basics you get elsewhere, No shower gel,no soap, no items in kitchen for cooking ie salt pepper cooking oil,kitchen roll, no welcome pack ie milk,bread,fruit,etc We have stayed in many countries and have never encountered anything similar before. We checked out 2 days early.

    Property response:

    We are sorry that the house did not meet your expectations. We are currently in the process of renovating the living room (hence some minor differences from the photos shown) and are awaiting a new sofa which was ordered. Once this arrives, new photos will be posted on the page. This is a restored millhouse and most similar old houses have external staircases to access the upper floors. I will take up your comment about the blanket with the laundry company we engage. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, no reusable kitchen items, such as salt, pepper etc are left in the house. The property is self-catering so food items and drinks need to be bought by guests from a supermarket. We will state that the property is self-catering clearly on the booking.com page as we have realised this might not have been very clear initially. On arrival we asked you to contact us should you need anything during your stay, as is done routinely with all guests. Had you communicated your concerns with us at the beginning of your stay, we'd have been more than happy to discuss and resolve these issues to your satisfaction. Nonetheless, we thank you for your feedback, of which we have taken note.

    Thomas is the most wonderful host, he greeted us at the Millhouse, told us the history, places of interest and helped us organise groceries and a car. The house is so charming, bedrooms are very comfortable and the living area is huge. The pool area is perfect for relaxation and has a lovely outlook. Would highly recommend.

    Thomas was a fantastic host. He met us to hand over the keys, was responsive to all our messages, sorted out an issue we had immediately and even booked a restaurant for us. When we left, we felt we were leaving a friend behind! The property is very interesting and quirky with lots of history. The views from the property are lovely as it looks over a lush valley towards the citadel.... But is an easy walk into Victoria. We tried the local shops including David's bakery, which were perfect. We will be recommending this property to friends.

    Nothing!

    The location meant we could escape from the hustle and bustle of everything which is exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon. Thomas (owner) was a lovely guy. We couldn't have asked for a better host. The house is just perfect and with a private pool not overlooked by anyone. Kitchen facilities were spot on and there is ample space outside to sunbathe and chill. We're already looking at booking our next stay here. Absolute paradise.

    The host was exceptionally nice and helpful, providing a personal touch that made my stay even more enjoyable. The accommodation let me feel the real vibe of genuine Malta, immersing me in the local culture and charm. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and well taken care of.

    One of the bedrooms was a bit too dark. It would be great if the light bulbs were replaced with stronger ones to improve the lighting.

    We had a wonderful time in this amazing villa. Everything was at our disposal alone, including the pool. The view is amazing and it was very nice to have your coffee on the terrace in the morning and then swim in peace in your private pool :) The host was extremely nice and kind, he answered all my messages immediately and helped me with valuable tips. Gozo is a beautiful island, and you are guaranteed a good holiday in this accommodation. I strongly recommend!

    To have your own pool was a wonderful bonus. The property had a view to die for across to the Citadel and valley. It was very peaceful, quaint and the bed was really comfortable. Thomas the owner could not have been more charming, lovely welcome.

    Very nice house in a quiet residential area. The view from the terraces is fantastic. The living room is a bit chilly in winter, but there is a gas stove. You can walk to Victoria and there are plenty of restaurants there. Thomas is the perfect host. He gave us good tips on restaurants and walks to do.

    It would be nice if there could be a basic supply of salt, pepper, sugar, etc. in the kitchen so that not every guest has to buy these things themselves for the short stay.
