Villa Apartments in a Spectacular location near to everything!

'Villa Lyss Apartment' is located in a tranquil and peaceful location in the village of Mellieha found in the northern part of Malta. This stylish apartment is set within an exclusive privately owned villa residence perched on a hilltop. The tastefully decorated apartment has 2 bedrooms, and shares a larger than average pool of 45' x 15', surrounded by a large sundeck area decorated with palm trees and shrubs which add a relaxed feeling together with sun loungers and parasols to compliment the area around the pool.



The Island of Malta region Part 1: Malta – the very name conjures up thoughts of the George Cross and enough historical sights to keep you busy for a month. But there's so much more to this little beauty than a fascinating past. These days you're just as likely to hear about its film locations and nightlife as you are its history and culture.

The Hollywood swords 'n' sandals epics Troy, Gladiator and Alexander were all filmed on the island's sunny shores. World famous DJs are flocking here to spin some discs at the up-and-coming hotspots. But though Malta's image is changing fast, its breathtaking beauty remains one of the key things that draws people back year after year. Wherever you go, the island's eye-popping scenery provides a sigh-inducing backdrop. And as for all that history, with so much of the past still visible today, there's no wonder it's known as an open-air museum.

The Island of Malta region Part 2: Travel back in time to discover Malta's mysterious prehistory. Retrace the footsteps of St Paul. Or see where the Knights of St John defended Christendom. But Malta is no regular museum. Here life is lived to the full, so be prepared to get stuck into the Mediterranean way of life. Throw yourself into carnivals and make the most of the island's packed calendar of events. If you're looking for a destination that offers more than just a suntan, Malta's a first class choice and even more enjoyable when staying at Villa Lyss.

How To get there? Part 1: Flights to Malta
Flight time to Malta's International Airport from London airports is just 3-3½ hours. Other UK airports will be roughly 30 minutes longer. Malta is also served by numerous other large European airports and is very well connected.

Which airlines operate from UK?
AirMalta, Astraeus LT, British Airways, British Jet, European Aviation, Excel Airways, First Choice Airways, Hello Ltd, MY Travel Airways, Ryanair, Thomas Cook Airlines, Thomson Fly and from 31st March Easyjet

A great stay in Mellieha!

The owners Ray and his wife are very warm and welcoming and as they live above the apartments were onhand to answer any questions, give advice and recommendations. The apartment was very spacious, clean and had everything you needed. Location was great, down a quiet road with plenty of parking. Lovely pool and well kept gardens. Within walking distance to bars, restaurants and shops. Would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for having us. plenty of parking spaces for hire car.

Beautiful and quiet location

Very clean apartment, has everything you'll need for the stay. The property is well maintained and the pool is great. The area is beautiful and quiet. There's a supermarket about a 5min walk away. The host was excellent and I'm certain if I'll ever need to stay in the north of Malta again, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here.

Family friendly holiday in a great location

Great location and a good size apartment with a fair size and clean pool. The villa and the estate are very well looked after the hosts who are friendly, approachable and happy to help with local transport arrangements or shopping. The villa is located in a quiet part of Mellieha with a 10 min walk to local restaurants and supermarkets, 30 min walk to the beach with great bus links. It has been a great holiday well enjoyed by all the family members.

Wonderful apartment in good location

The apartment was nice and clean, perfect suitable for 4 persons. Kitchen is fully equipped, towels and even sun hats were available. Pool and outside area was clean and as shown on description. Good view over Mellieha with little spot of the sea. Location is in calm small street with supermarket, restaurants, and bars in walking distance. Ray is a very kind and courteous landlord, who provided us with some hints for beaches and sightseeing.

Beautiful Location

The property is very clean and has beautiful views. The host lives at the property and provides a lot of assistance and really wants people to enjoy their their stay. He is very involved and always around. There is a small pool kids can enjoy. We liked staying in the area away from all the crowds. You can get to a bus stop but if you can drive that would be much easier, the bus system is pretty slow.

Lovely stay

This was a great apartment, great size rooms, just right for a base for exploring the island, close to a couple of lovely beaches and the ferry over to Gozo. A short walk up the road there are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops to choose from. Ray and his family were very welcoming and couldn’t of been more helpful. We had a nice balcony area over looking the pool with a lovely view, nice to sit in the evenings. Think the only down side as we were there the beginning of April and so quite early in the year the pool was quite cold, although this didn’t stop the kids enjoying it.

A really lovely apartment with fantastic views.

A lovely apartment, fully equipped for all our needs. A wonderful setting overlooking Ray's beautiful garden. Unfortunately the weather wasn't warm enough to enjoy the fabulous pool and sun beds. Ray was a superb host who was on hand with recommendations of places to visit and to cater for all our needs, thankyou. Mellieah was an ideal location with various restaurants. We hired a car so we were able to see most of the beautiful island of Malta. We will definitely return to Mellieah and to Ray's apartments.

A thoroughly lovely trip to beautiful Malta

This was a fabulous property. Very quiet. Very comfortable. A lovely pool and friendly hosts. A great base to explore the island and Gozo. If I had one tiny comment to make I would have liked a sharp knife and cheese grater in the kitchen but really we managed. The air con is on a meter but I’m all for this. The apartment was lovely and cool and we only used it sparingly which is much better for the environment. Honestly one of the best holidays we have had and we felt really at home at Villa Lyss. Thanks to Ray and his lovely wife.

My daughters wedding

Ray & Maria welcomed us with open arms. They helped arrange transport and gave us tips of where to go and how-to find stuff we needed for the wedding. My husband has mobility issues so they selected an apartment for his access needs. They also found him a reliable driver willing at minimal cost to drive him around the island. The apartments are clean, bedding fresh, and Ray & Maria at hand at all times. This location is well worth a visit and Ray’s knowledge of the island and people made a very stressful time a pleasure.

Feeling at home

It is a wonderful apartment with very gentle and helpful owners. Our apartment in the villa lyss had a large living room, a spacious kitchen, and two comfortable bed rooms. The owners of this house live in the top floor of the building. Below are two apartments, which we had rented one of them. At the basement there is a third apartment for rent. The kitchen was fully equipped: microwave, oven, freezer, enough towels and plenty tableware and glasses (so you do not have to wash after every meal). From the balcony we had even slight sea view. The pool are is very nice with a long pool, deck chairs, and beautiful plants such as palm trees. The friendly owners provided several toys for the kids such as Lego bricks, balls, and a surf board.

Perfekte Unterkunft für einen heißen Sommer

Die Ferienwohnung ist modern, sauber und ruhig gelegen. Am besten gefiel uns der Pool mit den Liegestühlen und Sonnenschirmen. Es gab auch extra Handtücher für den Pool. Auch im Bad waren genügend Handtücher vorhanden. Die Klimaanlage haben wir nachts angeschaltet. Sie lief sehr ruhig. Man muss dafür einen Automaten mit ein wenig Kleingeld füttern. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet, es gab alles, was wir brauchten. Sehr freundlich vom Vermieter, der ebenfalls im Haus wohnt, war, dass er für uns etwas zu essen und trinken eingekauft hat. Wir kamen nachts an und waren froh, dass wir nicht mit leerem Magen ins Bett mussten. Der Supermarkt ist auch nicht weit weg und bietet ein großes Sortiment. Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und umgänglich. Reiseführer in deutscher Sprache und Flyer über lokale Angebote lagen in der Wohnung.

this property and the host described with one simple word: excellent

the swimming pool with a large terrace equipped with umbrellas and sunbeds gives us a feeling of privacy, and the covered patio serves to hide from the sun during the day. The apartment itself is fully equipped for a stay during the summer. i.e. air conditioning, fridge, fans fully working and without request.

Lovely Pool

The property was very clean. The pool and surrounding area was kept very tidy and while we stayed there we only had to share the pool once with other guest. A very quiet location but handy to restaurants and shops. The owners where very friendly, helpful and informative about places to visit and even took us to the supermarket on our day of arrival and came back to collect us. The property is on a hill so if like our friend walking is a bit difficult you may need to take this into consideration. I would recommend using the local bus service as very cheap and frequent. Overall if going to Malta again would definitely stay here again. Thank you Ray for making our stay pleasant.
