Villa Apartments in a Spectacular location near to everything!
About this villa rental
'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 Please contact owner for more information!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely villa in a quiet location. The host Ray & his wife Maria were extremely helpful & nothing was too much trouble for them.

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.
5.0
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.

Very nice well equipped apartment located in a residential area on the heights. Very calm district and pretty sight on released on the valley the swimming pool and the garden. Mellieha is a strategic place to discover the whole island of Malta as well as Gozo and Camino.
Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Debono for their warm welcome. They take great care of their guests.
We highly recommend. We had a great holiday and we will be back with pleasure.

Me and my family had a wonderful time at Ray's ground floor apartment. Fully equipped with great access to pool and patio area.
Local to all amenities, buses, restaurants and bars etc...
Ray was very kind and helpful and knowledgeable about the local area and made our stay very pleasant. We will certainly be looking to book again for next year!!!
Thanks again Ray for a great holiday!
Cheers

the place is lovely. great view from the pool area to the sea and hill. very nice and big pool. great for families.
the male owner was always very polite and friendly, we could ask questions at any time and he offered his help if needed.
kitchen apartment is large but unfortunately no dish-washer yet.
enough dishes and knives etc.to eat are available. enloghu pots, too.
a few things were missing such as a clean and not used-plastic cutting board, a better pealer for potatoes or carrots, and more than one sharp knive to cut would be useful.
owner left pepper, rest of oil and vinager which was very pleasant.
would go back anytime again.

Lovely spacious 2 bedroom apartment (Flat 3) which was very clean. Nice clean pool and large patio area for sharing with two other apartments in the villa. In a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of parking if you have a hire car. The property owner, Ray, is a real gentleman who was very attentive to our needs. The location of the villa is in a quiet area but is located only a short walk to some bars, shops and restaurants. The beach is not walkable. Melleiha itself is a pleasant quiet town perched on a hill above the sea; its beach at the bottom of the hill is the best on the island. Melleiha is well located for the ferry to Gozo and, with Malta’s much improved road network, Valletta is only 30 minutes away by car. Overall, we greatly enjoyed staying at Villa Lyss which I highly recommend.

Lovely property and pool.Near Mellieha which has the best beach on the island.Ray the owner was very helpful and guided us on how to get about and what to see on our trip as was first visit to Malta.

A Beautiful Villa Apartment with clean facilities and very helpful manager. We spent a week here and enjoyed it immensely. Plenty of room and all the facilities that we needed within easy access of local shops and restaurants. The pool was ideally placed to catch the sun all day until about 6pm. We would highly recommend this property.
5.0
The apartments and shared facilities are kept spotlessly clean by the Debono family, who are always around to help you with anything you need. The pool is wonderful, and although used by the family and other guests, we often had the pool to ourselves. Ray updates the apartments' equipment regularly - we had a very new hob and oven in ours. The location is a short walk from local restaurants and bus service but a car is needed to get to the beach. We had a lovely stay. Our only improvement suggestion would be a better divider between the balconies of the two first floor apartments so that conversations can't be heard, Thank you Debonos for an enjoyable week.

We are a family of 10 with ages ranging from 6 to 86 and we all had a brilliant holiday in Villa Lyss. We hired the three apartments so had plenty of room and had the pool to ourselves. The villa is in walking distance of shops, banks and restaurants. We barbequed most nights so didn't visit the restaurants. The villa was spotlessly clean and Ray and Maria were very helpful without being intrusive. Would love to go back there.

We stayed at Villa Lyss for a week in May. We travelled with our two children aged 3 and 7 months. We had the ground floor apartment which was perfect for our family. All of the rooms were spacious, clean and safe. We had everything we needed including a really good travel cot and high chair. The shared pool and outside areas were beautiful and again secure and safe for our family. Our son loved the pool and swam at least twice a day. The outdoor eating area had morning sunshine which we enjoyed everyday. Ray and Marie (owners) were very accommodating and made sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay - including a few toys for the children. Ray and Marie live on the top floor of the apartment which is great as they are around if you need them but they still allow you time and space to relax and feel comfortable. Mellieha itself is a great location to explore Malta - we hired a car which isn't essential but it made our trip easier. Parking is easy at the Villa and in most locations around Malta. Thanks again to Ray and Marie for having us!

My family and me, four in total, had 10 supreme days in one of Ray's apartments located in a tranquil area in Mellieha. Both the quality of the apartment and the outer facilities are of high class, and so is the view over the valley from the pool area. Around 20 minutes by foot to Mellieha Bay with one of the best sandy beaches...alternatively 5-7 minutes to the nearest bus stop, offering trouble-free and frequent transportation, whether it is to Mellieha Bay or Valetta.Ray and his family are very helpfull and strives to make your stay in Malta as comfortable as possible, and can be fully recommended.Thank you, Debono's, for a very nice holiday in your apartment and lovely country...we will be back again.

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.
