About this property
Villa Apartment 2 - Spectacular location near to everything with Pool!
'Villa Lyss' 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 very beautiful property. Ray and Maria are very helpful hosts. Thanks again for the ride to the supermarket and the suggestions for excursions. We highly recommend this accommodation. The pool was very nice and the accommodation is spacious. Family Brenner
This is a wonderful place to stay in Malta with great pool and wonderful views. the apartment is clean and large, the pool area is clean and beach beds are new. Ray and his wife are the most wonderful and helpful hosts. Thank you for all the help.
We can only confirm the previous reviews that were of course also basis for our choice. The property was great and well maintained - Ray and Maria did a great job offering advice for trips around and less known beaches and in case of problems they were quick to respond. We are looking forward to coming back!
The apartment is so much bigger than shown on the pictures. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the apartment is located in an area near to restaurants and shops. Also the beach is nearby.
Ray and Maria are the perfect hosts! They welcomed us like their family and were always available if we “needed” them.
If we come back to Malta we will definitely stay here again!
I don't know how highly I can praise this property, the location, the cleanliness, the owner!
Everything was wonderful from the well kept pool and gardens to the kindness and helpfulness of Ray, our host. It was all perfect and I would highly recommend a stay here. Didn't want to return home.
Thank you so much Ray and Maria, a holiday to remember.
The property is a good size, has everything you would need for a weeks holiday self catering and was exceptionally clean.
The area was perfect - close to the beach, restaurants and supermarkets. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The area was also nice and quiet with lots of charm.
Ray was extremely helpful and answered all our questions very quickly.
We would love to return one day.
Peaceful comfortable and relaxing stay in a well maintained property eith lovely hosts
Beautiful property with good sized swimming pool set in palm tree lined terrace and gardens. Shady spacious flat. Very kind, friendly and helpful hosts who nade us feel very welcome and even helped us with our supermarket shop as we had no car! I woukd definitely return.
Light, clean and airy apartment with access to a very nice pool area. Walkable to cafes, bars and restaurants. There is a very well stocked supermarket about 15 minutes walk away. Ray is an excellent host, full of useful information and very interesting to talk with him. Check with him regarding the best beaches and places to see! We only had a very short stay here but enjoyed it very much.
We had a fantastic stay, the property was spotlessly clean with great facilities. Lovely and spacious and accurate to advert. Ray, our host was incredibly helpful, with advanced communication on our day of arrival and was on hand to help out with whatever we needed. He offered to drive us to the main supermarket on the day we arrived and to the bus stop with our cases on the day we were leaving. The apartment is in great location for exploring the north of the island and for catching boats to Gozo and Camino, great local bus service with a stop 8min walk from the apartment.
Great place, calm, couse, big apartment, clean pool, warm host, parking. Jus the location is not accurate in VRBO sistem. Real adress is: 44, Villa lyss, triq l-etna. Mellieha MLH2205. ~500 m. difference.
We had a lovely stay at the apartment, Ray was very accommodating and was always available if we had any questions. On the first day he kindly took us to the supermarket and also arranged for a taxi to take us from/to the airport. If you have mobility issues then maybe this isn't the place for you as its quite hilly, this didn't bother us, plus the views are amazing. We loved the location as it was away from the noise and very relaxing. Highly recommend going to Sea View Cafe Mellieha, views are amazing! We will definitely be returning to Malta!

Really thank you for your positive review. It was my pleasure to assist you. Hopefully I will see you another time.
Lovely to stay with Ray and Maria again; we were last there thirty years ago when our children were small. Apartment 2 is comfortable and spacious and the pool deck is surrounded by palm trees! The weather was mixed so we caught up on Amazon and YouTube series some evenings. The Santa Maria Estate is a peaceful residential area a short walk away from Central Mellieha. We used the running track most days. We hope to return and thank Maria and Ray for sharing their lovely villa with us.
My wife and I have stayed in numerous VRBO accommodations in the past decade or so. The host, Ray, and his wife, Maria, are simply the best hosts we have ever experienced. They helped us experience the culture of Malta.
Since we did not rent a car, Ray arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport. The driver, Frank Borg, met us and took us to the accommodations. He also agreed to pick us up for our return flight at 0400 on Sunday morning. The driver was dependable and very reasonably priced.
Back to Ray. He drove us to the grocery store after our arrival and picked us up after we had finished our shopping. Later, he advised us on places to visit and things to do. He truly was dedicated to us having a wonderful experience in Malta. After we scheduled a hop-on-hop-off bus. Ray drove us to the pickup point. I asked him later if I could accompany him to the gas station and fill his car for him. He politely refused my offer and said that it was not necessary. He is a moral, caring man who goes above and beyond what is expected of a host.
The accommodation was excellent, clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Having access to a pool was a benefit for us.
There are numerous restaurants in the Mellieha area within a reasonable walking distance, although it is rather hilly.
If we return to Malta, we certainly will stay here, thanks to Ray and Maria.
Malte est une ile magnifique qui a gardé une certaine authenticité. Location parfaite, piscine et jardins magnifiques. Ray est un hôte très attentif au bien être des ses locataires et toujours à disposition pour rendre service. En résumé, entre le soleil, les plages et les visites des cette ile chargée d'histoire, c 'est le parfait combo des vacances réussies.
Der Aufenthalt war klasse, der Vermieter war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Wohnung war sehr gut ausgestattet.
Die Klimaanlage im Schlafzimmer war leider etwas zu schwach, eventuell bitte überprüfen ob die Klimaanlage defekt sein könnte.
Gruß Familie Tschirko
Sehr schönes sauberes Anwesen. Großzügiges Appartement mit guter Ausstattung.
Bettwäsche sowie Handtücher sind ausreichend vorhanden.
Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Ray und seine Familie sind immer sehr freundlich. Tips für Ausflüge und Sehenswürdigkeiten auf Malta gibt Ray sehr gerne weiter.
Der Pool sowie Poolbereich sind bis ca 17 Uhr Unter der Sonne Maltas.
Eine Bushaltestelle ist in ca 500m fussläufig zu erreichen. Von dort aus ist Melliha sowie der Rest der Insel sehr gut zu erreichen. ( zu empfehlen ist die Tallija Card.)
Wir waren als Familie mit unserer 3,5 Jahre alten Tochter dort.
Vielen Dank an Ray und seine Frau.
Wir waren ingesamt 12 Tage dort.
Grüße aus Rlp
Keurige ruime schone vakantiewoning. Wel wat verouderd meubilair. Vriendelijke behulpzame verhuurder. Veel tips van hem gekregen voor uitstapjes in de buurt.
Très bon emplacement pour visiter Malte, nous avons profiter pleinement du pays sans passer beaucoup de temps en voiture. L'appartement de Ray est au sein d'une grande maison sur 3 niveaux, 3 appartements et au deuxième étage loge le couple des propriétaires qui sont très discrets et pour autant disponibles et sympathiques. La vue du balcon est magnifique sur la piscine et le fabuleux jardin. C'est une belle location où on se sent bien.
Ray nous a accueilli avec bienveillance pour ce court séjour et le logement était impeccable. Il est situé dans les hauteurs de Meliellha et des commodités proches de ce logement permettent de ne pas prendre la voiture. Exemple, un pub pour des soirées très sympas
Die saubere, ruhige und schöne Anlage von Ray ist perfekt gelegen. Mit dem Bus kann man den Norden von Malta erkunden, ist schnell bei der Fähre nach Gozo und hat einen Direktbus nach Valetta. Ray ist stets höflich und hilfsbereit und hilft einem gerne bei der Urlaubsplanung. Am Pool kann man die Seele baumeln lassen und sogar das Meer sehen. Unsere Wohnung war deutlich größer als es auf den Fotos aussah. Der Balkon ebenso. Besonders praktisch war die Ausstattung in der Küche. Hier musste man nichts mehr besorgen.
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit auf Malta - danke dafür :)

Lovely villa in a quiet area. Pool area very clean. The owner Ray & his wife Maria were lovely & nothing was too much trouble for them. Ray took us in his car to the Supermarket on our first day. Would highly recommend & we will definitely be going back 😊
