About this property
Stay in style and comfort at the spacious double storey three bedroom, three bathroom Villa Buzz, located in the hills of Santa Marija Valley, Mellieha, Malta's most northern town. The villa comfortably sleeps six and is great for a family, friends, or group holiday on the fascinating island of Malta, located in the heart of the Med, and is open to visitors all year round. This modern villa is well appointed with all of the mod cons, including complimentary Wi-Fi throughout, air conditioning, and flat-screen televisions in all of the bedrooms. The ground floor benefits from an open-plan living and is flooded with natural light. The entertainment lounge has an elephant grey sofa and armchairs, useful side and coffee tables and a flat-screen tv, with Bluetooth connection. There is a contemporary wooden dining table to seat six, opening onto a well-equipped pale wood and white kitchen with an oven, hob, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and a coffee-maker. A useful guest cloakroom with WC and hand basin is also located on the ground floor. Floor to ceiling windows open onto a paved patio with your own private swimming pool surrounded by six comfy white sun loungers and sunshade brollies.
Take the stairs to the first floor which is home to three large double bedrooms: The master bedroom has a double bed, side and dressing tables, dressed in white with purple highlights, and an en-suite walk-in shower bathroom with a single washbasin, a WC, and a safety deposit box. Two further bedrooms, with twin beds, capacious wardrobes and side tables; one with an en-suite walk-in shower bathroom. On this floor, enjoy alfresco dining on the terrace with a view over the valley down to the town. Eat at the outdoor wooden dining table, where you can entertain up to six guests, and sample the delights of the local produce grilled on the built-in barbeque. Villa Buzz has a weekly housekeeping service, including all linens, and a pool boy who will attend twice a week.
Villa Buzz is located in the middle of the Santa Maria Valley in Mellieha, the northernmost town in Malta, perfectly positioned in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. The villa is a short thirty-five minute drive from Malta's international airport and within easy driving distance of Malta's best sights and attractions. The island of Malta is steeped in history, dating back as far as five thousand and five hundred and fifty years ago, home to three unesco World Heritage Sites, seven megalithic temples, and neolithic architecture, and a few windmills too.
The old traditional village of Mellieha is but a short walk away and will give you a taste of local Maltese life, with welcoming cafés, bars, and restaurants, shops and stores. Mellieha is blessed with Malta's longest beach, the beautiful Ghadira Bay, with its white sands and calm sea. If you like walking, the area has many hiking trails, trek to the nearby Ghajn Znuber Observation Tower, or the Il-Majjistral Nature & History Park and spot the herons and egrets, or to il-Mizieb and follow the rugged coast of the Marfa Ridge. Other notable landmarks include an air raid shelter, St Agatha's Red Tower, Coral Lagoon, Our Lady of the Grotto, numerous old churches, and many more beautiful beaches, especially Paradise, Riviera and Anchor Bays.
For those wanting to travel further afield; Take the thirty-minute ferry crossing from Mellieha to the island of Gozo, known as the pearl of the Med. Here you can relax on beautiful sandy beaches, or if you are feeling more active, visit the unesco Ggantija neolithic temples, older than the pyramids and Stonehenge. Have a day out with a drive to Rabat Mdina and see the Roman ruins, visit the San Antoni Palace and Gardens, explore St Paul's cathedral and catacombs, or stroll around the thirteenth century Palazzo Falzon and Santa Sofia. All aboard the Marsalforn, a trackless train, where you can enjoy views of the stunning Maltese coastline.
No visit to Malta is complete without a visit to the capital Valetta, a forty-minute drive from the villa. Here you will find a walled city founded by the Knights of St John, dating from the 1500's, full of baroque churches and cathedrals, the beautiful Upper Barrakka Gardens, where a cannon is fired every day at noon, and an old town with winding streets full of luxurious shops, cafes, bars and restaurants where you can sample the best of the local Maltese cuisine. Go further south to see the famous Wardija Towers, thirteen fortifications guarding the coast; tilt at windmills, including the still working Tax-Xarolla; and swim, snorkel or rock climb the walls of the renowned Blue Grotto, a collection of sea caverns in the town of Zurrieq. Malta is famous for its many film sets; release your inner Jon Snow with a visit to the Game of Thrones location, and your holiday is complete!

Laura
It was exactly as described. Always happy to come back.

So
The house is very spacious and it was great that 2 of the bedrooms had en suites. The little toiletries bags were great and the kids loved having their own ones! The pool area was good although the water was quite cold in October! There were quite a lot of mosquitoes so it's worth getting some spray / citronella if sitting outdoors. The house is about a 10 minute walk from the local supermarket. Although it is walkable I would recommend using a car or taxi if buying shopping.
