Mellieha, Palm Springs

We booked this villa for a two week stay, using all apartments for all of the family. Firstly the positives, very nice pool area with plenty of space and loungers.

The negatives. 2 of the bedrooms in the 3 bedroom apartment does not have air conditioning , cables are hanging out of the walls a very strong smell of sewerage while taking a shower, broken tiles around shower taps. The owner is constantly going on about turning fridges down and aircon (even though you pay to use it). A safety issue with the fridges as it would appear they do not run properly and overheat.

There was no TV`s that worked, states satalite TV and yet no villa had this.

The worst has to be however, once you leave for an evening out the owner takes it upon himself to enter your apartment without stating why, arranging first with the guests and certainly not with permission. A very strange and creepy way to do things. If confronted they will try to get out of the situation. I would not stay at Villa Palm Springs again. We booked via

Holiday-Malta.com , and again would not use based upon their response to all of these issues.

All of the pictures for this place must have been taken when more or less new as it certainly does not look like this now.

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at Palm Springs Villa. The apartment itself was very modern, clean, comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. The pool area had lots of seating and sunbeds, and has a breathtaking view across the bay. The ownerslive on site and are lovely, they made us feel right at home and were always available for anything we needed. I couldn't recommend this place more, it is the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday. Thank you for having us, we will hopefully see you soon :-)

OWNER COULD HAVE DESTROYED ARE HOLIDAY by throwing ate wedding party out after the first night!! SNATCHING DEPOSITS is what they are after!!!!!

My family of ten adults and five children spent a marvellous week in Malta staying at this villa using all three of the beautifully decorated and well appointed apartments. The only thing we had to supply was food and other incidentals. They provided sheets and towels and the first roll of toilet paper. There was even a bit of salt and a bottle of water in each fridge. There is only one dishwasher in the largest flat. There were plenty of fans so we did not need the air conditioning. The owners live on the premises and they were extremely helpful to us, not only answering questions, but also actually driving us to the nearest supermarket the first day so we could stock up on food and bring it back easily. They did ask us to be careful with electricity and also the washing machine was not available to us for use.

The pool and poolside area were very well laid out and safe for children. The location is perfect for local amenities, buses to anywhere on Malta, and a local car rental or car with-with-driver provided service, which we used. There are many varied places to eat nearby as well as bars! And the beach is just a short bus ride away or walkable for the fit, down and back up a hill probably less than 2 miles. The view is magnificent and the accommodation provides sufficient seating and sleeping so as to be very comfortable. It matched our expectations from the descriptions and photograph, except for the dishwasher and washing machine.

It was a real home for us and we would definitely go there again and recommend it to others wholeheartedly.

Palm Springs, Mellieha is a fantastic apartment and with fantastic views. No maid service offered, no basic food - salt, pepper, etc no cleaning products in apartment. Owner obsessed about the amount of electricty you can use. Keep downstairs windows without blinds closed!!

Would not go back.
