Ta' Manwel Farmhouse

We had an amazing 3-night stay at Ta' Manwel Farmhouse. The farmhouse was spacious, spotless, and very well equipped. The pool and jacuzzi were perfect for relaxing, and the peaceful location made our stay even more enjoyable. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this farmhouse to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

It is a very big farmhouse and was great for the six of us. We had three ensuite bathrooms and two extra bathrooms. The pool area is nice.

The pool is deep after two steps. It is clearly an old house and some may see it as too cluttered with decorations and books. But overall it was great.

Loads of rooms all with AC, pool is very clean, equipped kitchen

The pool water was very cold, when it’s summer it might be different but before the heat kicks in it was too cold. There was a fan in the bedrooms which is great but not in everyone. Jacuzzi wasn’t working, but we used it as kids pool so it wasn’t needed. Every once a while you need to turn on for an hour water heater and then to turn it off in an hour

I had a wonderful stay at this traditional farmhouse. The space was incredibly generous—everyone in our group had their own bedroom and private bathroom, which made for a very comfortable and relaxing experience. The farmhouse itself had a lovely, authentic charm and was perfect for a peaceful getaway.

While the farmhouse had a lot of charm and spaciousness, we were disappointed with several aspects of our stay—especially regarding cleanliness and maintenance. At first glance, the house looked clean, but we quickly began noticing cobwebs throughout the property. The outdoor picnic bench was particularly off-putting, with old towels duct-taped to the seats—dirty and clearly left there for a long time. One of the more serious concerns was the drainage system. A drainage pipe was leaking into the living room, and there was a persistent, unpleasant sewer smell on the first floor that made walking through the corridor very uncomfortable—we often had to cover our noses. In the kitchen, the cupboards smelled strongly of cat urine, which made it difficult to store anything. Basic supplies were also lacking. The dish soap provided was watered down, so we ended up buying our own. Each bathroom had just one roll of toilet paper with no extras. We requested additional bed linens since it was summer and many of us were sweating at night, but were told they’d only be provided for stays over 7 days—which felt quite unreasonable. Another frustrating aspect was the air conditioning. It operated on a coin system, and during a heatwave, we spent around €20 just to keep cool. Given the rental cost of the property, AC should really be included. Although the farmhouse had traditional charm and interesting furnishings, we felt that it was overly decorated. The sheer amount of furniture and decorative items made the space feel cluttered and harder to keep clean. Removing a few pieces could really help both in terms of comfort and cleanliness. Overall, the property has great potential, but a number of maintenance, cleanliness, and comfort issues significantly affected our stay.
