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.
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.
Total bliss from start to finish, 5⭐️ Hosts, highly recommended away from everyone and everything but within easy driving to all main locations.
Will definitely be returning
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.
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
Je recommande +++++++ Le séjour chez Jennifer et Joe a été un succès de A à Z! Tout a été excellent au delà même de la description. L accueil reçu , l emplacement central ,les conseils malgré notre anglais plus que médiocre nous avons réussi a nous comprendre.La propreté du cottage est remarquable nous sommes restés 18 jours et le ménage a été effectué 2 fois a notre grande surprise (d ailleurs la dame de ménage est a féliciter également !!) le gros plus c est la piscine qui a fait le bonheur de notre fils de huit ans et nous également a 3 mètres du cottage en résumé le paradis!!! N hésitez pas foncez je recommande a 100%
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.
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.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Jennifer et Joe.
Leur propriété est un véritable oasis de calme et de bien être que nous avions plaisir à retrouver après nos journées de visites ou tout simplement à profiter car la piscine est magnifique avec une température de l'eau idéale et la terrasse fleurie est un régal pour les yeux. Le cottage en lui même est spacieux ,très propre ,très bien équipé avec tout ce qu'il faut pour ajuster la température souhaitée car en été il fait très chaud à Malte.
Jennifer et Joe sont très attentifs à notre bien être tout en étant discrets.Quelle belle surprise de trouver à notre arrivée: pain,beurre,jambon,oeufs,tomates ,fruits,café ,lait.Tout ce qu'il faut pour ne pas se précipiter à l'épicerie au plus vite,c'est très agréable.
Nous recommandons cette propriété sans hésiter.Comme indiqué dans la présentation,la voiture est indispensable car nous sommes sur les hauteurs de Wardija.
Het was er heerlijk rustig. De cottage was heel netjes en in alles voorzien. Het zwembad was zalig en er is een BBQ ter beschikking. De vriendelijke warme ontvangst door Jennifer en Joe maakte het 'thuisgevoel' compleet.
Es war für uns die perfekte Unterkunft für Malta. Ein wunderschönes gepflegtes Anwesen in herrlich ruhiger Lage, sehr hilfsbereite Hosts und ein Häuschen mit allem ausgestattet. Wir fühlten uns so wohl und werden wieder kommen!
Diese kleine Oase ist einfach traumhaft schön. Die Fotos zeigen das Cottage und die Umgebung, wie alles tatsächlich ist. Man kommt also nicht mit einer Vorstellung an, die dann vor Ort - wie so oft - von der Realität enttäuscht wird.
Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, wir haben bei Ankunft sogar schon die wichtigsten Lebensmittel im Kühlschrank vorgefunden.
Nach einer Woche in der Inseslhauptstadt haben wir die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit sehr genossen.
Jederzeit wieder!
Les propriétaires , Jennifer et Joe sont très sympathiques. Jennifer avait même prevu pour notre 1er repas
Maison confortable avec tout l’équipement.
Piscine de rêve.
Vous pouvez réserver les yeux fermes
We hadden een prachtige week op het domein bij Jennifer and Joe. Wee kwamen heel laat aan, maar er was een kleine versnapering in de frigo voor ons en ook voor de volgende morgen. Alles was piekfijn in orde: de keuken, zwembad, het reserveren van de scooters, de barbecue, de tips bij het plannen van onze uitstappen. Dank voor de mooie week, en wie weet, hopelijk nog eens tot ziens! :)
Wir kamen spät abends im Dunkeln an, und alles war vorbereitet, sogar Lenensmitte und Getränke waren für uns eingekauft. Das Haus ist gemütlich und es ist alles vorhanden. Der Poolbeteich ist sehr schön gestaltet und wir haben den Urlaub dort sehr genossen. Nach unseren Ausflügen, sei es zum Strand oder zu Besichtigungen und Museumsbesuchen, haben wir uns immer auf die Ruhe und das angenehme Klima am Pool gefreut. Jennifer und Jo sind sehr aufmerksame Gastgeber und wir möchten den beiden herzlich für alles danken.
L’accès se mérite, routes étroites et chaotiques, mais une fois le portail passé...nous découvrons la propriété, bâtisse en pierres entourée de conifères, palmiers, oliviers. Nous passons un petit portillon et entrons dans une cour intérieur et la, enchantement la superbe piscine et le cottage.
Au fil des jours nous avons pu nous rendre compte qu'il ne manque rien à notre confort que se soit à l'intérieur du cottage qu'à l'extérieur.
Au retour des différentes visites faites sur l’île, quel plaisir de se retrouver au calme et seul dans la piscine!
Nos hôtes, Jennifer et Joe sont vraiment charmants et ce qui compte pour eux c'est que l'on passe un agréable séjour et ça été le cas.
Nous recommandons cette location (avec véhicule).
We had a lovely stay in Malta, which was made extra special because of Joe, Jennifer, Lunar & Marsha. The Cottage and pool are beautiful, well looked after and ideal for 2 sharing. As specified in the property details a car is required. Nowhere on Malta is far away, but be prepared for some traffic, due to the ongoing road improvement projects. If you want a relaxing break in a lovely location then this is the place for you.
Thank you to Joe and Jennifer who were the perfect hosts.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer
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.
