"Clint was super-helpful, communicative and hugely accommodating. The room was beautiful and well-maintained, with a fantastic roof terrace. The decor was stunning. Zurrieq is a sleepy little location but came alive during festival - if going in late August make sure you’re ok with fireworks hahaha. Ten minutes by cab from the airport and half an hour from Valletta. Definitely would come back off-season when it’s not hotter than the surface of the sun!"
