From what I have seen they have some but not all the requirements but I shall search some more, thanks.
Anyone from any of those villages?

I use to be a rep and have seen most of the villages. I also worked in Zurrieq. Very friendly people, a real community spirit. Near the blue grotto so some of the best views along with pretty little allies. Frequent buses to Rabat, Valletta, airport and hospital. A few shops including clothes, stationery, a take away and   food shops etc. Extravagant feasts throughout the year. Even old windmills and ruins. There are the local band clubs etc and other restraints. A polyclinic and for some reason 5 dentist?! It ia bigger than your village but then Malta is bigger.

* restaurants, stupid phone!

Thanks, I have to say that Zurrieq was a place I contemplated settling in before we came back this time.
I'm just speculating and thinking of contingency planning.

Għargħur?

Yes, lovely place and much smaller than Zurrieq. In fact, I was thinking and there are loads really.

Interesting same for us thinking of relocating from Gozo and very interested in the South, had thought of Zabbar....

Siġġiewi?

Bless you !!!

St Thomas Bay, Marsascala ticks most of the boxes

Zabbar is lovely, has everything you need and near to the main road leading to the rest of the island. Has everything you need, doctors, dentists, school, small market, places to eat, quiet (off the main road through Zabbar.) It even has a Miracle Foods, pet shop and I've seen a picture framing shop too!

Thanks for the information

The south has everything one needs without the congestion. Far more laid-back and friendly.

Have to go a long way to be as laid back as Gozo.

Gozo - Laid Back - am not sure they even get up ...LOL

Back with this as we are relocating from Gozo, Sliema where I would like to be is way beyond budget and generally anyway from St Julians to Pieta is rented within 5 minutes. I am interested in the South but use buses and regularly need to be in Marsa, Paola and Sliema. So my questions are thoughts on the South of Malta and traveling......thanks

We travel regualary from Marsaxlokk to Paola , sliema and marsa its a pleasant trip

Thank you

Anyone in Zurrieq, tried Paola and cannot settle....

Birzebuggia is best

No I am not keen to be honest...sorry
