About this property

Historic Malta Home with Rare Indoor Cave Pool

Summary:

Two-bedroom home in the heart of Mellieħa with one feature you won’t find anywhere else on the island — a private indoor cave pool. Thoughtfully designed interiors, hotel-quality bedding, and a dedicated Guest Experience Team on hand throughout your stay.



The Space:

The cave pool comes first, because it should. Cut into the rock beneath the property, this unheated natural pool is completely private and genuinely unlike anything else you’ll find on Airbnb in Malta. It’s the kind of thing guests message us about long after they’ve checked out.



The rest of the home holds its own. Two double bedrooms dressed in neutral tones with hotel-quality linens. An open-plan living area with a plush sofa built for post-beach evenings. A fully equipped kitchen if you want to cook, and a Guest Experience Team ready with restaurant recommendations if you don’t.



Every piece of furniture, textile, and artwork was chosen with intention — warm, calm, and consistent throughout. It travels well across tastes, which is exactly the point.



Arrive, drop your bags, and go straight to the pool. You’ve earned it.



Guest Access:

Private entrance to the property. Exclusive access to the indoor cave pool, with no shared spaces, no schedules, and no other guests.



The Neighborhood:

Mellieħa is one of Malta’s most liveable towns — proper restaurants, good energy, and none of the overcrowding you’ll find further south. The ridge-top views toward Mellieħa Bay are some of the best on the island.



Bus connections run directly to Valletta and out to Cirkewwa, where you catch the ferry to Gozo. If you’re driving, street parking is available right in front of the property.



Getting Around:

Car hire gives you the most freedom — Malta is small and easy to navigate. The bus network is reliable and well-connected if you’d rather not drive. Taxis and rideshares are widely available. Our Guest Experience Team can help provide you with information regarding any of the above.



Other Things to Note:

Self‑Check‑In, Eco Tax & Guest Portal:

This is a self‑check‑in holiday home. Your unique access code will be available in your Guest Portal once the eco tax has been paid and your Self Check‑In Form completed. Codes activate at 3:00 PM, our official check‑in time. If you’d like to drop off luggage earlier, send us a quick message and we’ll confirm if it’s possible, depending on our cleaning schedule. This is a very popular holiday home and our housekeeping team needs 5–6 hours to prepare the property to a high standard, so your understanding is appreciated. Once your booking is confirmed, our Guest Experience Team will be in touch and you can choose your preferred way to communicate with us; our phone number is also available in the Guest Portal if you’d like to speak to someone directly.



Submitting your eco tax online:

Eco tax, in line with Malta’s Environmental Contribution regulations, must be paid securely via our online payment link before arrival. A secure payment link is sent to you upon booking confirmation. For a smooth arrival, we recommend submitting your payment on the day you book, so you can then complete your Self Check‑In Form and gain access to our Guest Portal to start planning your stay.



Interaction with Guests:

Our 24x7 Guest Experience Team is available to support guests before, during, and after their stay. Guests are encouraged to get in touch with our friendly team at any time. Whether you’d like us to recommend our favorite places to visit, tell you about the top eateries you should book or you’d like to request a late checkout or an extended stay, message us here, give us a call, send us a message, or email our team - we’ll give you a helping hand. Whatever you want, whenever you need! Whether you’ve got a request or you simply need a helping hand exploring Malta, Zzzing’s Guest Experience team will make your stay fabulous.

Ok so it’s a nice property, it has been amazing when first developed. Through wear & tear I’d definitely needs updated due to use. It only needs some minor updates to bring it back to tip top condition. Obviously the light was out in the cave pool for five days and we were advised not to use it until it was repaired. Which was completed on the Wednesday. The other problem was the overwhelming smell of body Odour from the sofa it was disgusting! This however was somewhat rectified. They sent a cleaner in to try and clean it! It was greatly improved but still had residual smell. The shower tray needs replaced and the seals need done in the bathroom, bathroom mirror needs updating. Some of the kitchen units need repairing and the table in the living room has had a degree of corrosion. The sofa in my opinion needs replaced! Further more upstairs in the mezzanine def needs an air conditioned unit. It has a fan which was not working however it was replaced.We were getting shocks from the light switch from the cave pool room, which is situated at the entrance. I ended up I was sick of complaining so I made no further complaints. All of this did impede our trip and I did book another property for a few nights. All of that being said it only needs a few updates. The property itself is in a quiet area. It does have mostly everything you would need perhaps a few more tea spoons wouldn’t go a miss. Would I book it again ? No, due to the updates that would need to be addressed.

Es un sitio acogedor, tiene lo necesario para la estancia de 4 personas. La piscina en la cueva interior es un puntazo y está súper chulo. La comunicación con el propietario a sido estupenda. Y el precio está muy bien para el apartamento que es. Ha sido un placer hacer la estancia en este apartamento. Muchas gracias.
