Steep yourself in history at the beautiful Villa Meilak, sitting serenely on the hillside in the village of Triq Il-Barbieri, in the ancient area of Zurrieq, Malta. This elegant one storey villa has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living, dining and kitchen area, a stunning outdoor space with a private swimming pool, sauna, and well-tended gardens, and can sleep up to eight guests. Perfect for a family, friends, or group holiday, and an excellent base from which to explore the fascinating island of Malta.

The villa is a charming combination of both traditional craftsmanship complemented by modern amenities and includes complimentary Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout. The open plan living space is flooded with natural light and cleverly incorporates a lounge, which blends seamlessly into a dining area and a contemporary kitchen. The seating area is furnished with a classic plush blue sofa and contrasting armchair, a flat-screen television with cable TV, a Blu-Ray DVD player, Bluetooth speakers, PlayStation 3, and air-conditioning. The lounge sofa can be easily converted into a double bed to accommodate extra guests. The formal dining area has a traditional wood table that seats up to six, with a matching armoire and sideboard. The kitchen comes complete with the latest appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave, oven and hob, coffee machine, and a washer-dryer too. There is also a very convenient guest cloakroom with WC and hand basin.

The villa hosts three beautifully appointed large en-suite double bedrooms, all with air-conditioning and flat screen televisions. The master bedroom is furnished with a fine walnut burr large double bed suite, dressed in white linen, and includes matching bedside and dressing tables, and a crystal chandelier.

Villa Meilak sits in its own surrounding ground gardens, where you will find a ten metre plus by five-metre rectangular swimming pool, with a poolside shower, perfect for a few lengths before breakfast, to relax in the sunshine, or cool down after a day’s sightseeing. Sun loungers and shady umbrellas surround the pool, and there is a built-in barbeque for alfresco eating at the eight seaters outdoor dining table. The gardens are well maintained and populated with the natural flora of the island, a pool boy attends twice a week, and best of all for your kids there is a dedicated children’s play area.
