Lovely cottage in great location

The cottage was just right for the two of us, in peaceful surroundings and with the excellent pool right outside. Much better than being in the built up areas. Jennifer and Joe were helpful and generous hosts - very nice people.

Our stay in Malta

The hosts were very welcoming in every respect, helping wherever they could, often beyond what could be expected. All that one would need on a vacation were in the apartment. We also enjoyed the quiet and the talks at the pool and we hope to return again. Fred and Elfie.

Very pleasant stay in Wardija

We had a lovely stay at Jennifer’s place. The house is located in a rural area away from the beach front area of St Paul’s which was perfect for us. The real plus points of this accommodation are the lovely pool area which we had to ourselves most of the time with our own sunbeds. The bed in the property was extremely comfortable with effective air con in the bedroom. The bathroom is spacious as is the rest of the property. There is a lovely seating area outside where we made use of the BBQ. The location means it’s easily accessible to the whole island though you will need a car. Gorgeous local towns such as Mdina and Rabat and good beaches less than 10 mins away. I would happily stay here again.

A calm oasis on a busy island

Jenifer and Joe have provided a lovely oasis of calm on what can be a busy island. This is a great place to get away from it all, with a lovely pool. Yes, it is shared with the owners, but we didn't find this an issue as there are plenty of hours in the day for using it. The house is in the garden of the owners, with more greenery than most other places on the island, so you will come across Joe taking care of it, and we enjoyed some nice evenings with both of them sharing a glass of wine on the terrace outside the apartment. You will need a car for staying at this place, but we found hire prices very reasonable, booked in advance and picked up at the airport. The roads in Malta can be busy, so allow more time for reaching places, but it is rewarding. The house is well located for travel to Mdina, a lovely walled city, and Gozo can be reached easily. You will experience some aircraft noise, as flights out tend to pass near to the property, although nothing like the non-stop activity at a London airport - we could spot the house from the cabin window on our flight out out! In sum, if we were to return to Malta, we would choose this property - but if you want the busyness of urban life or immediate access to a sandy beach, probably not for you (beaches are within a few minutes drive but we preferred the rocky coves for snorkelling)

Charming place

Our stay was lovely, the surroundings, the gardens, the birds song were beautiful and did what we wanted it to do, make us feel relaxed. Unfortunately there were a few issues we felt were important. The first being, the website said we would have to share the pool with the owners, which we had no problem with, but in reality, we had to share with owners’ friends and family a number of times. This had a negative effect on me and my wife, as we felt we didn’t want to intrude, so we were forced to not go outside . We paid a lot of money to have the freedom to have the space. The second problem was that most of the electrical equipment inside the Villa is all dated and needs to be upgraded. Regards Paul and Kath

Peaceful and beautiful

The property is in a lovely, peaceful location, though initially a little difficult to find. It is within easy reach of shops and all that Malta has to offer. It is attractive, well-appointed and clean and set within beautiful gardens. The owners, Jenny and Joe, were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, offering superb hospitality. We would definitely recommend it.

Perfect paradise

We were looking for a a piece of paradise for my wife’s 50th birthday and this exceeded our expectations. It is away from the daily hustle and bustle in an idyllic location but it is close enough to everything you could want to do. A 5 minute drive into Bugibba or Salina if you want some lovely restaurants, 10 minutes to golden bay for a beach day or 25-30 mins into Valletta to explore a world heritage site. The cottage has everything you could need and the pool is fantastic. Jenny and Joe were the perfect hosts and couldn’t do enough for us and we enjoyed our conversations about some of the history of Malta, we will definitely be going back.

Diese kleine Oase ist einfach traumhaft schön. Die Fotos zeigen das Cottage und die Umgebung, wie alles tatsĂ€chlich ist. Man kommt also nicht mit einer Vorstellung an, die dann vor Ort - wie so oft - von der RealitĂ€t enttĂ€uscht wird. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, wir haben bei Ankunft sogar schon die wichtigsten Lebensmittel im KĂŒhlschrank vorgefunden. Nach einer Woche in der Inseslhauptstadt haben wir die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit sehr genossen. Jederzeit wieder!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer

Host profile image
I am British and lived in this wonderful location for over 30 years. I love to travel but always look forward to returning to Wardija which is still an un-spoilt area in the north of Malta. My husband and I live in the main house. We have one dog - Luna a mixed breed /Spaniel.

Why they chose this property

Over the years we have transformed the 3 acres of land around the main house and the Cottage which are surrounded by lawns, numerous olive, palm trees and different shrubs and flowers. Immediately next to the Cottage is 3 meters deep kidney-shaped fresh water swimming pool with surrounding sun deck area. It is secluded as it is situated on a hill with unobstructed country views with St Paul's Bay and Island beyond.

What makes this property unique

Everything guests need are in the Cottage for an enjoyable holiday. Air-Con and overhead fans, TV. Large freshwater swimming pool (towels provided). Peace, quiet and wonderful walks in the countryside to overlook St Paul's Bay. Plenty of parking space in the grounds of the property.
