my sister has lived there for 18 yrs so i've been there a few times ...st pauls bay area is a nice area to stay, as for flights depending where you are robin air fly there but check around because usually bye the time u have paid for every thing with them, usually cheaper to use a descent airline.as for villas i'm not sure that is a Maltese. thing.as for beaches well there are some very nice bays around the island.all round very friendly people towards the English. lovely cars all overt the place and check out the car museum in bugibba which is the st pauls bay area. as for the weather u can't really fault it if you like it hot and humid in the summer months.
