Review Submitted: October 25, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
Doing a language trip with a group of 14 German pupils aged 13 to 19 we stayed in the Ringway Villa in Mellieha. As we rented the whole villa with its three appartments there was plenty of room for everybody.
With five bathrooms there were no problems with so many persons getting ready on time in the mornings. The appartments on the upper floor were connected but could easily be separated by closing the doors if you needed more privacy.The rooms were large and comfortable. The kitchens were fitted with all kind of equipment you need for so many persons having breakfast , lunch or dinner together.There was nothing missing.Just a few minutes walk away there is a shop in which you can get everything for your self-catering and the baker´s offer a large varity of tasty and fresh bread and cake and rolls every morning.
The villa is located in a nice area , the neighbours are friendly . I used to talk to them in the early morning while having a cup of tea on one of the terraces surrounding the villa. Flowers, plants, palms and lemon trees create a mediterranian atmosphere in the garden and around the pool. The pool is fatastic. The pupils liked to swim and play in the water or just relax reading a book or sleeping in the sun.
The villa was very clean and well furnitured . The owner was friendly and helpful. She told us everything we wanted to know about the places to visit, which busses to take best, where to go in the evenings and so on. She was available 24 hours a day.She also organized the transfer from the airport to the villa and back and there weren`t any problems although we had to leave very early in the morning .
When we arrived some bread,cornflakes, milk, tea ,coffee, sugar and marmalade were placed on the kitchen tables so that we needn`t go shopping at once.The villa is ideal for larger groups or families spending their holidays together . The beach is nice , there are shops and restaurants and pubs and the public transport takes you around Malta for little money.There is plenty to do. We did a boat trip around the islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino and visited the Blue Lagoon, where we could swim and dive. A speed boat took us to the caves. We visited some cathedrals and churches and the old capital Mdina, where we were taken around in coaches pulled by trotting horses.A visit to Valetta is a must and a harbour cruise is exciting, too.
