Villa Apartment 2 - Spectacular location near to everything!

'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

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.

A restful return to Mellieha......
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.

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.

Excellent holiday apartment
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.

Look no further in Malta
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.

Ideal spot in Mellieha Heights
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.

First visit to Malta!
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!

Ray and Maria's place was a great relaxing ground floor flat with a brilliant large and clean swimming pool. Kitchen usable and bathrooms clean. Air conditioning operated by euro coin but we stayed 5 nights and didn't even use one 2 euro coin. Located close to maleiha village and up the hill from maleiha Bay and a nice beach. Ray was really friendly and very accommodating. Close to bus links to the ferry to gozo (cirkewwa) and also valetta. Would highly recommend

Fabulous
We've just returned from a 2 week holiday in apartment 2 at Villa Lyss. This is an absolutely gorgeous property. Ray & Maria are perfect hosts, always on hand if you need them but they don't bother you when you just want to relax. Correspondence with Ray was great from the moment we booked the apartment. As we were arriving late, he put together a welcome pack of the essential supplies. He also arranged for a taxi to collect us from the airport. When we arrived at the apartment, Ray showed us around & explained all the necessary. The apartment is well maintained, clean & really spacious. The photos online don't do it justice. The kitchen has an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, kettle, toaster & fridge/freezer. There are plenty of utensils etc. We easily managed to prepare meals when we didn't fancy dining out. The bedrooms have air conditioning as well as fans, the beds are really comfortable & there is plenty of storage. There is also air conditioning & a fan in the living area. The balcony has a table & chairs as well as a clothes airer. The balcony is large & overlooks the pool. The pool is very big, ideal for swimming or just cooling off. The sunbeds are good quality too. For 10 out of the 14 days we were there, we were the only guests so had the pool area to ourselves. The villa is in a quiet area but is only a 10 minute walk from the main restaurants in the village. The beach area is about 30 minutes walk but there are lots of buses if you don't fancy the walk. There is a supermarket 10-15 minutes walk away. Ray offered to collect us from the supermarket on our first day if we wanted to do a big shop. The supermarket also offers a delivery service. It's an easy walk so we didn't mind going most days for what we needed. The supermarket is very well stocked with everything you need for self catering. There are lots of restaurants within a short walk from the property, we ate out most evenings. There are bus stops at the top of the road (5 minutes walk) if you want to get around the island. We wouldn't hesitate to return to this property & we would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday.

Wonderful apartment and pool
We loved our stay at Ray and Maria's apartment. We recieved a lovely welcome package on arrival and were greeted by Maria despite our late flight. The apartment was very clean with numerous changes of towels. The pool area was cleaned regularly and we had our own allocated sun beds. Very often the children had the pool to themselves. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance. Our favourites were Mithna at the top of the street and Villager by the beautiful church. Ray was always on hand to provide any advice on places to visit or anything we needed, and we loved exploring beautiful Malta. We hope to come back one day!

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.
