Family-friendly vacation rentals in Paola

Andy’s place was perfect for our girls trip to Malta! Very clean, felt safe and was only 15 minutes from the airport. A short drive to nearby towns like Sliema and Valetta. Would definitely recommend for your next stay in Malta.

A place with history, like so much of Malta but with all modern amenities. The pool and jacuzzi were really relaxing after a day's sightseeing - we spent all our time 'at home' beside the pool! Thank you Shaun for great communication and a great stay.

Loved the house and location, had a 360 view of the sea from the roof terrace. The children enjoyed their time in the swimming pools. Had all the amenities needed for a home away from home. The cleaner and owner were very helpful and accommodating to our family and we really appreciate that.

We had a great stay with 10 people. Rooms where nice and clean with large living room, dining room and kitchen. Most of all loved the large and deep pool that most other places did not offer with max depth of 2,4m. We also liked the grill area that we used in the evening to make food and sit outside. Only small complaint would be the pool man being there a bit early and making noice before 8 am (might be just a light sleeper problem) and the hair dryers did not work.

We had a fantastic stay at Antoinette's place. The flat was exactly as described, very clean and the outdoor pool area was fantastic. It was ideal for the kids and we all had plenty of space. The flat was brilliantly located for getting to the beach at Mellieha and for buses around the island. Antoinette was really helpful, lots of great recommendations and was always responsive. Highly recommend.

It was a top accommodation. Everything was exactly as described, and David is truly a superhost. I felt at home and would recommend this accommodation to everyone!

A lovely spacious villa - great facilities and well located. Amanda responded very quickly to any queries we had. The 11 of us had a great time here, would definitely return.

We had a lovely stay overall and the house itself was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Aaron was responsive, helpful and friendly, which we really appreciated. While we fully understand that this was beyond Aaron’s control, we feel it’s important to mention that there was ongoing construction nearby during our stay, including loud jackhammering during the day. This did impact our ability to fully enjoy the outdoor spaces. It wasn’t what we had anticipated for a quiet village. We certainly appreciated the ‘no construction rules’ on Sundays and Aaron asking them to not start too early in the morning. Still, our family loved ‘Ta Happin’ and our daily walks to the Xaghra’s main square and trips to Ramla Bay and with the noise/building works aside, we had a good experience.

Fabulous property, lovely and clean, just like the photos. Beautiful views well worth the money!

From the time of booking, communication with Tina was excellent – fast, helpful and with many useful tips (e.g. restaurant list). When we opened the balcony door, the breathtaking view of Valletta immediately impressed us. The location is ideal: ferries and buses are directly opposite, supermarket, restaurants and bars nearby. From the balcony you have a great view of the promenade of Sliema, and yet it is quiet in the apartment – the bedrooms are at the back. If we travel to Malta again, we would book this apartment again in a heartbeat. Small note: For Malta, you need an adapter for British sockets (type G).

A Perfect Stay in the Heart of Malta! We absolutely loved our stay at this gem of an Airbnb in Rabat, right next to the stunning, historic city of Mdina. The location couldn’t have been better—just a stone’s throw from charming restaurants (GO TO YANA'S), cozy cafes (GO TO CHALK), and beautiful walks through the medieval streets. It was also the ideal central hub for exploring the rest of Malta, with easy access to transport links and a peaceful atmosphere to come back to after a day of adventuring. We did hire a car and a big car park at the top of Labini street The property itself was spotless, stylishly furnished, and had all the comforts of home. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to make our stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. The hosts were warm, responsive, and gave us excellent local tips that really made our trip special. We’d return in a heartbeat—highly recommended to anyone visiting Malta!

Pawlu's apartment is exactly as shown in his photographs. It's a large place with two double bedrooms and one twin bedded room. There is AC in all 3 bedrooms although we didn't need it as the apartment has double window curtains that keep the place cool. The place felt like a home and it was a very comfortable experience. Five minutes away is the HONEY CORNER which is your best daily supermarket. There are numerous top class, reasonably priced restaurants in Marsaskala. The local bus system is generally reliable although the roads and pavements are a little unkempt! There is a steep climb from Marsaskala upto your apartment but you can avoid this by walking around to the Sant Antnin Park and walking past the Honey Corner shop, although a longer walk, it is more doable! One of the best, affordable Airbnb places to rent, next to a beautiful harbour on the south side of Malta. You won't be disappointed.

My partner and I had the best time at Sim's property. It is a beautiful flat, spacious and comfortable. Sim's recommendations were spot on and not like anything we had seen before - his level of detail in the information he sent before check in was unheard of. We are very happy to have stayed at Sim's flat and definitely recommend it!

This apartment is amazing, we really enjoyed our stay here. Very spacious with everything you could wish for including a fabulous view of the harbour from the front balcony. A good base to explore Malta. We especially enjoyed going to St Thomas's Bay which is very close. The owners are lovely people and make sure you are happy and comfortable. A true gem for your stay in Malta!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Robert's place. The location is great for access to both the old town and the ferry, with great views out of the balcony area. The apartment has homely vibes and Robert was very generous in stocking us up with beverages and snacks on arrival which was much appreciated. Would recommend!

This place is a real gem - although quite an old place it is full of charm and very comfortable for a group. We had two couples and a single and the place was perfect. Most enjoyable is the roof space where we spent most of our time, watching the harbour. We managed to find parking down by the water which is only a short walk up the steps to the property. A really great find, our family will be back again one day!

We really enjoyed our stay in Matthew & Elaine’s town house with our 11 month old daughter. Communication was friendly and fast and when we missed a baby chair Elaine came to bring it to us right away. It should be noted that there is a lot of construction going on, at both sides of the house, but it’s not on a all day every day basis so it didn’t bother us too much. The walk to the beach is beautiful and it’s also easy to walk to the town square with some bars. If you have a rental car the whole island is easily accessible. Last of all we really appreciated the ‘welcome package’ with some fresh produce. Thanks!

This was our second stay at Marthese's place, and we just love it. Perfect for a quiet week of relaxation, always spotless and comfortable, and the smart TV is a great new addition if you want a quiet night in while you're there! Thanks Marthese!

Fantastic villa with a breathtaking view and the host was extremely welcoming.

A lovely week! Alexandra was so helpful and accommodating! There is a lot of building work on Gozo and the traffic past the house did reflect this but the house was outstanding! The garage over the road was pretty noisy too! We walked a lot as the temperature was perfect for adventuring. The village Sqaure is so pretty at night and we ate at a lovely local restaurant which had the most wonderful vegetarian and fish options!! Xlendi is in walking distance and was a firm favourite along with the sand buggie tour!!! Alexandra and her team clearly care and love this house and put a lot of attention into making it a fabulous and quirky place to stay!!! Thank you for everything!

Lovely apartment. Amazing environment in the old fort, on top of a mountain with fabulous view. Clean and comfortable! Mariella was very communicative and gave great recommendations. We highly recommend the place!

We had a fantastic holiday at the apartment and we didn’t want to come home. The apartment was huge and had everything we needed. Our 3 year old son loved zooming around the apartment and the space outside and the pool was perfect. Alison was the best host ever, such a lovely person and gave us great recommendations which we really appreciated. She had left plenty of essential groceries for our arrival which was super duper helpful, and even brought us an amazing pizza on our last night too. The location is so handy for shops and we could walk with a pram to restaurants nearby. We found a few local parks for our son to play in within walking distance too. We can’t recommend Alison’s apartment enough, and I’m sure we will come back in the future x

We had a great stay at Joe and Lillian's lovely place. They were super-helpful giving us clear instructions and directions, as well as good tips for local places to go. We had one question while we were there and Joe responded straight away. He also took the trouble to call to make sure we were OK after a storm swept over Gozo one day (thankfully the storm didn't stay!). The property is really comfortable and full of character and rustic charm. We loved the upstairs terrace which is a gorgeous sun trap and we also enjoyed spending time in the lovely garden enjoying the afternoon sun. The location is nice and quiet and the village square is within walking distance - in addition to the impressive church it has a few good places to eat drink and have coffee - we tried most of them! We really enjoyed the walk to one of the local bays which Joe had recommended, and all in all really loved our second visit to the island of Gozo.

"Wonderful stay! The apartment was clean, comfortable, and looked exactly like the pictures. Great location—just a short walk to restaurants. The private pool area was a lovely touch, well-used, and gets sun for most of the day. The host, Shawn, was very helpful and responsive. He even greeted us at the apartment despite our flight arriving really late, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!"
