The Shells - Superb villa with large pool
A truly magnificent detached villa set in the up market residential area of Santa Maria Estate in Mellieha, set on more than 1000m2 of land. This bright, airy and excellently laid out property enjoys fantastic views. Accommodation comprises on the ground floor a welcoming hall, open kitchen, dining and large sitting room, 3 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms whereof two ensuite.
A modern staircase leads up on to the first floor where one can find a large bedroom with ensuite bathroom leading onto a large surrounding terrace overlooking country and distant sea views over Comino and Gozo (the other two islands of Malta). At the back of the Villa one can find a large size pool with sun beds and jacuzzi and a hottub.
The villa is operated by mainly Solar Energy and WIFI is available.
The villa is located close to supermarkets and bus stop heading to Ghadira Bay (10min) and Paradise Bay (15min). The airport is Malta International Airport, 20km from the villa.
Everything was great in this villa We really enjoyed the commodities, big swimming pool and jacuzzi The owner was very nice and helped us many times I recommend this villa !
Just came back from a fantastic stay in Malta. We were so kindly and warmly welcomed! Kevin and Angela made sure we had a wonderful time. The house is a gem, hidden in a nice and calm neighborhood. It is ideally located, not far from all the sightseeing places and 10 mn away from the Gozo ferry terminal. Within a 7-minute walk you will also find a large supermarket offering everything you need.
The outdoor amenities are fantastic : you can relax by the pool, refresh and swim, enjoy a BBQ,...
In the house itself everything was perfect (superbly decorated, super comfortable beds, plenty of space, each bedroom has its bathroom, an enclosed garden with a place for your car...).
We were only six but 8 people can easily stay as it is advertised.
In a nutshell: we had an amazing time, we will come back the next time we come to Malta and we certainly recommend this holiday house to anyone searching for peacefulness and a luxurious accommodation.
A last thing : many many thanks to Angela and Kevin for their kindness and helpfulness.

Potential to be very good
We recently stayed at this villa for our holiday. The property itself is a great sizeâvery spacious and well laid out, making it ideal for a group of 8 people. It definitely has a lot of potential.However, we were disappointed by the overall experience due to poor maintenance and cleanliness. On arrival, it was clear that the villa hadnât been properly cleaned. We encountered issues such as block drain, a dishwasher that didnât work properly, and a noticeable ant problem throughout the house.I also made a few simple requests to make our stay more comfortable, but unfortunately, these were completely ignored from the host.For the premium price we paid, we expected a much higher standard of upkeep and guest service. Itâs a shame, because with proper attention and care, this could have been an excellent stay.
We had a great week. The villa is spacious and well equipped. There were some lovely touches eg lots of cleaning equipment, bin bags and a cupboard full of extras eg spices, cooking oil and a welcome pack. These are all things that weâve had to purchase ourselves in other villa stays. The villa is easy to get to and close to main routes down both the east and west of the island.
We enjoyed our stay, there were a couple of minor issues but these should be easily addressed. The pool was lovely and we used Bolt for cars to local places to eat. Would recommend
Das hat uns nicht gefallen:
- Alter der Immobilie (Putz bröckelt von den WÀnden, Schimmelbefall!)
- Es ist keine Ferienunterkunft, sondern ein Privathaushalt, weshalb wir die KleiderschrĂ€nke, sowie den Safe nicht nutzen konnten (Der WĂ€scheraum war auĂerdem vollgemĂŒllt)
- Waschmaschiene war kaputt und es wurde sich, trotz Absprache, garnicht gekĂŒmmert
- Wir haben trotz angegebener Ausstattung keine Pool-, noch StrandhandtĂŒcher bekommen (Schrank war abgeschlossen)
-Alle Gartenmöbel waren defekt und die Auflagen fĂŒr die Liegen waren am Schimmeln
- Whirlpool hat angefangen zu riechen, Wasser fehlte und dröhnte auf voller LautstÀrke
Das fanden wir gut:
- Lage (ruhige Umgebung)
-GröĂe des Hauses und des Pools
-Aufteilung der Schlafzimmer
-Das Putzteam war sehr freundlich und ordentlich
We stayed for 5 nights whilst visiting a music festival.
The check in process was simple and made all the more enjoyable by meeting Kevin and his wife at the house on our arrival.
Nothing was too much trouble.
The house is fantastic and the photos do not do it justice.
The pool is large and spacious and the hot tub perfect for relaxing in the evening.
Each bedroom is beautifully decorated and they are very large!
All in all it was a fabulous experience from start to finish.
Had a lovely stay at the Villa with a group of 7 adults and a 2 year toddler. The property was a great setting for us to relax and unwind during our time in Malta. It's really spacious, with a large living room and kitchen area which was great for relaxing in during the heat of the day (especially with the toddler) if you didn't fancy relaxing by the pool. Which again is a great size, perfect for an early morning swim and also the steps on either side going into the pool were really useful for our 2 year old as it meant he could come into the pool and stand up.
We spent a lot of time in the outside space either by the pool, enjoying a BBQ or spending time in the evening chatting and enjoying life around the large table. Plus there's an outdoor shower which a great novelty for us coming from the UK.
All the bedrooms in the villa are a decent size (most are on the ground floor) and of course there is the huge master bedroom upstairs, which has an amazing view.
The villa is a walkable distance to Mellieħa and a large supermarket, as we had a rental car it meant we could get around easily and not have to walk back with shopping. However I believe the Wellbee's supermarket offers a delivery service if needed.
Our host Kevin was a top guy, he met us at check in and made sure we knew where everything was etc. It was a nice touch of him to message a few days into the stay to make sure we were settled in nicely.
We'd be happy to come back again!
Superb Villa in Malta with very nice hosts an outstanding in- and exterior. Highly recommended for vacation with family or friends. If comming back to Malta, surely would stay here again.
The house lives up to the pictures and more. Itâs super comfortable with nice design, very nice rooms and private bathrooms. The yard and pool and privacy are great. Good location and very nice at tentative hosts. AC works perfectly. We enjoyed everything about the house very much.
We had a wonderful stay at the Shells, the communication was excellent as was the villa and the owners couldn't do enough to assist us!
A fab time was had by the family! We wish we could stay!
Our second stay at Shells Villa as just as great this time. Host is friendly and communicated regularly to ensure everything was ok. Villa was spotless. Location excellent location for heading up and down the East coast. Walking distance to bars and restaurants in the main town and shirt drive to the beach. Thoughly recommended.
Great place, very helpful hosts, always quick to respond to any communications. Conveniently close to local well stocked shops.
Had some lovely days out visiting beautiful beaches and cities.
Der Vermieter ist sehr nett, die Kommunikation ist tadellos, das Haus und die Lage sind auch sehr gut. Allerdings lĂ€sst die Sauberkeit zu wĂŒnschen ĂŒbrig und es sind einige Ausbesserungsarbeiten/Renovierungsarbeiten notwendig.
Everything was fantastic about our stay, communication was great, facilities was clean and plenty of space for a mainly adult group. Would love to stay again in the future
I booked the villa for a group of friends to use as a sort of base camp between activities. We enjoyed the villa so much we spent the whole Saturday there, enjoying the pool using the bbq. It was perfect. Thierry and Kevin were always on hand if we had any questions and the villa had everything we need.
