Villa Strawberry Hills-Charming private pool villa

summarize your impression about the properties

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Strawberry. The house itself, is an old stone farm house that has been redone so it has modern amenities but retains many original features. The pool and patio area were a nice place to relax for a few days of sunshine or for a glass of wine after a day exploring.

I will begin with the pros of the house: nice layout, clean, attractive Maltese style, good pool and patio area. Unfortunately, the owners sort of ruin the experience. There are warnings and rule placards everywhere warning about damage and what we will be fined for. I understand the temptation vrbo hosts may have to reduce damage or think of every possible bad situation, but this RUINS the vacation experience and does not lend a sense of hospitality or welcome. We felt as though the owners would rather we weren’t there, a “stay here but don’t touch anything” sort of attitude. I am a VRBO host and use none of these harsh practices. The owner also tried to get me to pay a cash deposit, either in hand or via a bank transfer. This is against VRBO policy. You have the right to refuse this and ask the owner to contact vrbo to handle a deposit, though your credit card. DO NOT give these people cash. You likely won’t see it again because they’ll try to blame you for damage and keep it. Be advised.

Very quite location. You can walk to groceries shops in 10 min and bus stops very close for nice water front restaurants in Marsaskala which is 10min on a bus.

Jolie Villa typique des maisons de ferme Maltaise mieux que sur les photos avec un très beau jardin dans une série de villas en rangée. Nous avons passé d’agréables moment grâce à la piscine privée. Très paisible car nos voisins n’ont pas semblé utiliser leurs espaces extérieurs. Cependant, malgré les murs de pierre qui séparent les villa, la proximité des voisins si ils sont bruyants, pourrait gâcher vos vacances. Côté pratique: lave-vaisselle inefficace qui fuit à remplacer, absence de poignée extérieur sur la porte du jardin ce qui empêche de la fermer lorsque la clim fonctionne, pas de table pour déposer un verre près des transats et tuyau d’évacuation de l’eau du climatiseur qui se déverse partout sur la terrasse. De petits irritants auxquels le propriétaire pourrait facilement remédier.
