“Great host, great location and great property.”
The villa was stunning and really well laid out and there was so much space, you could have family time but alone time too. The conversion and history was amazing along with the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner. The kids loved the pool with the different lights and jacuzzi and they had great fun. Also had beach towels which was a plus. There was a full sized table tennis table which was also good fun. Location was really good and situated in a beautiful place. Shops were extremely close and it also had advantage of it being open 24 hours a day. They had bbq facilities as well however due to the weather we never got a chance to use this. The owner even bought and delivered us a birthday cake for someone in our party which was delicious.

“Heavenly pool/garden in a wonderful, restored old house.”
An absolutely wonderful, carefully restored, huge house with all the comforts you can imagine. There is everything you'll need in this character property, restored with care and offering all the modern amenities. The garden/pool area is heavenly and even better than the photos The host is extremely welcoming and helpful. The villa is situated in a quiet village with some shops (including a 24/7 convenience shop down the corner of the road) and restaurants (take away Kaian is excellent for doner, pizza and salads). You'll find all the basics here or, a short drive away, you'll find livelier town and tourist hotspots.

“Very good”
The property was amazing. Very beautiful interior and an even better exterior. The pool area was delightful to be in you could spend your entire holiday in it alone. Lino was very helpful and nice

“10/10 experience 😍”
An unforgettable stay – perfect in every way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Every year I organize a dance retreat abroad as a dance studio owner, and this summer I chose to create a special experience in Malta. I am beyond happy that I chose this villa – it was absolutely perfect from A to Z and gave my retreat the most beautiful energy, atmosphere, and vibe. Each room was stunning, filled with unique details and stylish touches. We truly felt like we were in a dream – it was hard to leave! The outdoor space was just as incredible – a beautiful pool with colorful lighting options, a spacious terrace, and so many cozy corners to relax or create content in. The owner went above and beyond to support us. He helped arrange a private chef, taxis, and even welcomed us with a bottle of champagne on arrival. The communication was super smooth, friendly, and professional from start to finish. This villa gave us the perfect home for our creative and soulful retreat. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a magical and high-quality experience in Malta. Thank you for everything – we’ll never forget it! ❤️🧘🏼♀️

“Lovely Villa with family of 7 in a quiet location, we all loved it!”
This a great place to stay with family or friends. Spacious accommodation. Lovely pool area and table tennis 🏓 The owner Lino was very welcoming and told us all we needed to know and more and arranged a number of trips for us.The town is not touristy which we loved. You can walk to the Blue Grotto. Valletta the capital is around 20 mins away by bus for €2.

“Enjoyable and carefree”
During our stay from July 20 to 28 in villa buddha in Malta, we enjoyed a great vacation with 10 friends. The villa was stunning and the surroundings offered peace and beauty that we really enjoyed. An unexpected highlight of our trip was attending the local festi, a traditional celebration where the entire village is beautifully decorated and spectacular fireworks are set off. We knew nothing about this beforehand, which made the experience extra special. The locals were incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to explain about the festi or help with other matters. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Shaun, who informed us in detail about the villa and practical matters such as turning off the pool lights at night and taking out the trash on the appropriate days. The host, Lino, stayed above the villa and was always available for questions. He even prepared a delicious pasta for the ten of us once and made sure the villa and bedrooms cleaned and tidied mid-week. We were immensely grateful for his kindness and hospitality. Lino was discreet and respectful, yet always available to check if everything was to our liking and to offer suggestions for activities and sights in the area. His presence made our vacation extra enjoyable and carefree. As for practical matters, it is good to know that not every room in the villa has air conditioning. Although there are fans, the air-conditioned rooms are a lot more comfortable in hot temperatures. In addition, the beach beds are somewhat fragile, so some caution is required. All in all, we enjoyed our stay in Malta and thank Lino, Shaun and the accommodation for an unforgettable vacation.

“A lovely stay and Lino was great. A great place to go if you're looking for a rustic stay.”
Location is great and near convenient shops. A good place to use as base for seeing Malta if you have a hire car! The pool is amazing and the villa is charming and full of character. Lino, the host, is super friendly and helpful too!

Villa Buddha is truly an exceptional destination that exceeded our expectations in every way. The moment we arrived, we were struck by the sheer spaciousness of the property, providing us with ample room to unwind and truly savor the experience. The villa itself is a testament to elegance and comfort, boasting a remarkable level of sophistication and charm that left us thoroughly impressed. Our host, Lino, played a pivotal role in making our stay truly memorable. His hospitality was nothing short of exceptional, and he went above and beyond to ensure that our every need was met. It was clear that he took great pride in maintaining the villa to the highest standards, and this dedication to excellence was evident in every aspect of our stay. What truly stood out about our experience at Villa Buddha was the impeccable attention to detail. Every promise made about the villa was upheld to the letter, from the amenities and services provided to the overall ambiance of the place. It was a seamless and delightful experience from start to finish. Our weekend at Villa Buddha was nothing short of spectacular, and we left with memories that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. The combination of a remarkable location, a stunning villa, and a host like Lino made for an unforgettable getaway that we will cherish for years to come. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect retreat, and we wholeheartedly recommend Villa Buddha to anyone seeking an amazing escape.
