Villa Ellul

About this property

Get away from it all with a stay in Villa Ellul, set in a quiet side street of the smart Santa Marija Valley, in the town of Mellieha, Malta. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom, the single-storey villa is ideal for a small family or friends' holiday and can sleep up to four guests. The recently renovated Villa Ellul is decorated with contemporary colours and furnishings, highlighted with a beautiful Mediterranean blue and flooded with natural light. The villa benefits from on-street parking and comes with complimentary Wi-Fi and air-conditioning throughout and flatscreen televisions in every room. There is also a dedicated team, who can help with transfers and car hire, added-value extras, and booking trips and outings. Housekeeping and linen is included once a week, more frequently on request, and a pool boy twice a week to keep your private pool pristine. The ambient Maltese climate and mild winters mean you can rent this villa all year round.

The entry-level on the ground floor is to a modern open plan living area. The entertainment lounge has a sofa and armchairs, with a flat-screen TV, PlayStation 2, Bluetooth speakers, and a DVD player, perfect for those evenings in and some family-friendly fun. The well-equipped pale wood and stainless steel kitchen comes complete with an oven and hob, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and that all-important coffee machine. An adjacent dining area has a wooden table, and upholstered chairs to seat four guests. The master bedroom has a large king size bed, side tables and chest of drawers, a flat screen tv, and a safety deposit box. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with shower, single hand basin, and WC. The second bedroom has twin beds, a large white wardrobe, and a flatscreen tv. There is a separate guest cloakroom with a shower, WC, and washbasin. Step out onto the paved patio, where you will find a large private swimming pool with four comfortable cushioned sunbeds and sun brollies. Enjoy alfresco dining on the terrace at the four-seater table, and a built-in barbeque, and a view of the valley.

Villa Ellul is located in the middle of the Santa Maria Valley in Mellieha, the northernmost town in Malta, perfectly positioned in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. The villa is a short thirty-five-minute drive from Malta's international airport and within easy driving distance of Malta's best sights and attractions. The island of Malta is steeped in history, dating back as far as five thousand and five hundred and fifty years ago, home to three unesco World Heritage Sites, seven megalithic temples, and neolithic architecture, and a few windmills too. The old traditional village of Mellieha is but a short walk away and will give you a taste of local Maltese life, with welcoming cafés, bars, and restaurants, shops and stores. Mellieha is blessed with Malta's longest beach, the beautiful Ghadira Bay, with its white sands and calm sea. If you like walking, the area has many hiking trails, trek to the nearby Ghajn Znuber Observation Tower, or the Il-Majjistral Nature & History Park and spot the herons and egrets, or to il-Mizieb and follow the rugged coast of the Marfa Ridge. Other notable landmarks include an air raid shelter, St Agatha's Red Tower, Coral Lagoon, Our Lady of the Grotto, numerous old churches, and many more beautiful beaches, especially Paradise, Riviera and Anchor Bays.

For those wanting to travel further afield; Take the thirty-minute ferry crossing from Mellieha to the island of Gozo, known as the pearl of the Med. Here you can relax on beautiful sandy beaches, or if you are feeling more active, visit the unesco Ggantija neolithic temples, older than the pyramids and Stonehenge. Have a day out with a drive to Rabat Mdina and see the Roman ruins, visit the San Antoni Palace and Gardens, explore St Paul's cathedral and catacombs, or stroll around the thirteenth century Palazzo Falzon and Santa Sofia. All aboard the Marsalforn, a trackless train, where you can enjoy views of the stunning Maltese coastline. No visit to Malta is complete without a visit to the capital Valetta, a forty-minute drive from the villa. Here you will find a walled city founded by the Knights of St John, dating from the 1500's, full of baroque churches and cathedrals, the beautiful Upper Barrakka Gardens, where a cannon is fired every day at noon, and an old town with winding streets full of luxurious shops, cafes, bars and restaurants where you can sample the best of the local Maltese cuisine. Go further south to see the famous Wardija Towers, thirteen fortifications guarding the coast; tilt at windmills, including the still working Tax-Xarolla; and swim, snorkel or rock climb the walls of the renowned Blue Grotto, a collection of sea caverns in the town of Zurrieq. Malta is famous for its many film sets; release your inner Jon Snow with a visit to the Game of Thrones location, and your holiday is complete!
