Area to live

its a lovely village hence why we live here...

of course it doesnt suit everyone - especiallly if they have any mobility issues as its on a hill

pro:
location, view, small village charm. very close to nature (and it's rather rare to find a small stretch of land without buildings anywhere else), nevertheless good infrastructure (supermarkets, pharmacy, grocery stores,..) IMHO the most beautiful part to live in Malta.

con:
-from a Maltese point of view it's "far away" and people have holiday homes up here, because it takes 30min to get to Valletta, Sliema or Birkirkara where most people work.
- the windy, bumpy "road" between Mellieha and Xemxija

note: a lot of people from the UK live up here.

30 minutes to get to Valletta, Birkikara or Sliema....Are you going by plane??!! 

Maybe Sunday morning at 5 am ?

ok, not exactly 30 min, but depending on traffic it usually takes me about 35-40 min to get to 'mater dei' by car. the bus takes about 40-50min.

thanks everyone.
My hubbie has signed the contract so it looks like we are moving. Have been twice to look at the property and it has what we want, we would rather stay in Marsascalla but cant get the property as we want unfurnished. Will have to go with the flow for now and see what happens.
My concern is how far out it is as my hubbie does not have a job yet, and we dont want to get a car until it is necessary ie he is working

Mellieha is very nice...quiet, friendly people, access to two great beaches, all you need within walking distance.
