LUXUEUX Grand 18ème Maison de campagne située dans de grands jardins avec piscine

This is an amazing property. 7 Large bedrooms with well appointed bathrooms, greta outdoor areas, pool, terraces, 3 car garage, very helpful local property manager (Connie) who meets you and is 'on-call' if any assistance is needed, also thanks to Rachel, who handles the online bookings and queries. The local town is great, a few local bars (Band clubs) are very welcoming, even got us playing on a full size snooker table!!. We used a local chef (Matt Attard)to prepare a 60th birthday dinner for 12 of us.. he is fantastic and the local Maltese menu he prepared was memorable.. There were 11 of us, in our 60's, and we're all glowing of our experience.. this is a fantastic place for a large group, you can find break out spaces to spend quiet times, each bedroom has its own 'private' area on a balcony etc.. all amenities work well, the place is immaculately presented, pool is amazing, we had 2 meals on the charcoal BBQ outside, great tastes.. cant ask for anything more. Any downsides?.. you have to leave eventually!!

I booked this holiday to celebrate my 70th birthday with family and friends. Casa san Rocco looked wonderful from the photos on the website, but when we arrived it exceeded all expectations! Everything about it was superb - the house is extraordinary, an oasis! Once inside it feels miles from anywhere, not surrounded by a busy village! The gardens are lovely, the pool wonderful, and all the bedrooms are beautifully furnished and comfortable. There were so many places to get together for an early evening drink - different terraces around the house and tower and around the pool - and eating at the long table in the garden was magical in the evenings with all the well placed outdoor lighting! The village is great for local shops - excellent pharmacy, convenience store a short walk away - we even found a shop to print out a boarding pass! The owner and his PA, and Connie the housekeeper, were all very helpful throughout the booking process and while we were there. Definitely 5 star all round!

This is not just a house it is a whole block! The entrance to the house is quite anonymous from outside. It is seemingly just another door in the small village street. But once you open it you have a whole world of luxury all to yourself! It really makes you feel like royalty. Alle the rooms are nice and big and there are enough balconies for almost everyone in the party to have their own. The big common area in the backyard is beautifully kept with trees and flowers and the barbeque area is the ideal place for long evenings relaxing with your friends and family. The kitchen is not very big but very well equipped. Staying at the tower suite makes you feel like Rapunsel and the view from the tower rooftop is magnificent. We had a problem with one of the airconditioners one day and the property manager came over and fixed it right away. This is a place I could definetely recommend and would love to come back to. Its privacy, beauty and magnificent garden/yard I believe would be ideal for small intimate wedding parties. As it is a big stone building covering almost an entire block the wifi only reaches part of the house, so bring a repeater if you need to be online by the pool. It is literrally only 5 minutes away from the airport, but we never heard any noise from air traffic. Just outside the doorstep is a small convenience store and a butcher. A large supermarket is only minutes away. There are many nice roads you can go for a walk. One of the highlights of the week was running down to St Peters Pool and jumping in before running back.

Mr Dupuis, a polite and courteous gentleman, met us on the first day and showed us around the villa. The property is in the classical style built in original stone and is much bigger than expected. The main features are as follows: a large dining room, a huge lounge, a fully equipment kitchen, 7 en-suite rooms, a laundry room, a large courtyard surrounded by trees and a swimming pool with comfortable sun loungers. It is located on a quiet street in a small town which has plenty of shops and bus links to Valletta, the airport and other resorts. I was in a party of 9 people and felt totally relaxed throughout my visit. The place was very clean and spacious and the facilities were first class.

The pleasant door to this amazing house gives no hint as to what is within - lots of clean well furnished rooms, a large kitchen, a courtyard, garden with outdoor eating area, roof terraces galore, a swimming pool, comfortable bedrooms, all very private. It was the perfect house for our 3 generation family, providing plenty of space to either be together or spread out, with the added bonus that the two younger generations fit very nicely into the 4 bedrooms in the main house, while grandparents were able to sleep in peace and quiet in the tower. Would we recommend it to friends? Yes. Would we go there again? Definitely!

When you step out of the door you are in the middle of a Maltese town, so you are able to get some feeling for what life is like in Malta. There is a small grocer across the street. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful.

This especially applies to the owner, Alex, who couldn't have been more helpful.

For families with small children - Pretty Beach at Birzebbuga is ideal. It doesn't entirely live up to its name, as it is close to the cranes of the Freeport, but it is clean, has white sand leading into a shallow sea, and the 2 to 7 year old younger members of our family made many sandcastles there. A short drive takes you to Marsaxlokk, with its many restaurants along the beach.

Malta is an excellent holiday destination - so much to see and do, and yet it is so small that you can get anywhere in a short time.
