About this property

Bright spacious penthouse - beautiful sea views

Modern, fully equipped 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, dining terrace, stunning port and sea view.

Solmar Apartments comprises a two 2 bedroom penthouse designed to accommodate up to 4 adults / children with a spectacular view over Marsascala’s characteristic fishing port and the open sea beyond.

Centrally located and set just back from the harbour front on a quiet non-thoroughfare street, the apartment offers calm and will allow you to enjoy Marsascala’s seaside location and its traditional relaxed social life-style making for a fascinating holiday for the whole family.

The penthouse is just a 5 minute walk from the Marsaskala bus terminus from where you can reach all corners of Malta and Gozo in comfort and low cost without having to worry about driving or parking. We can organise rapid and efficient transfer from the airport to the penthouse with immediate check in, obtain 7 day bus pass tickets for you and eventually organise car hire for the periods you may need it. We can also organise bespoke private guided visits should you so require.

A butcher, baker, fishmonger, mini supermarkets, local fishermen (for the early riser) and fresh vegetable stalls are all within a stone’s throw, meaning that a car is not needed for everyday necessities.

The penthouse is modernly furnished and has been finished to a high standard combining simple elegance and practical functionality that includes efficient and silent invertor technology AC units in each room that can also be used for heating in the colder months.

It is extremely light and airy and comprises an open plan kitchen / dining / sitting room area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms equipped with generously dimensioned showers (the main bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom). The beds in each bedroom can be arranged as either a large king-sized double bed or separate 90 cm x 2 meter twin beds. The apartment’s master bedroom is large enough to add an extra child’s bed or cot if required. The orthopaedic mattresses are comfortable and duvets, bed linen and towels are all supplied. A hair dryer is also provided in each apartment.

The kitchen has been thought out so that it will be a pleasure should you prefer to stay in and dine al-fresco on the terrace admiring the evening view over the harbour. The all-electric kitchen is equipped with oven, microwave, induction hob, hood, toaster and kettle and of course a dishwasher to make you feel at home. In addition, each apartment has a clothes washing machine, clothes drying racks, iron and ironing board.

There is free internet / WiFi. The TV is set up so that you can access You Tube, Netflix and Prime Video. (You will need to bring your own subscription pass words for the latter two).

A children’s play park with an impressive range of activities for various ages can be reached within 10 minutes on foot.

A number of water sports such as scuba diving, sailing, fishing are all to be found in the region.

For those interested in history, Valletta, the 3 Cities and the megalithic temples of Tarxien are all within 10 – 20 minutes by car.

A very pleasant and wide promenade running along the waterfront around the bay with its numerous restaurants and bars is particularly agreeable for an evening stroll. Along the way you will come across designated cordoned-off bathing areas with direct access to the sea from the flat rocks via short ladders. The water is crystal clear and its temperature is most welcoming from late Spring through to late Autumn.

Nearby, St Thomas’ Bay with its sandy beach can be reached by a 5 minute bus ride.
The one thing you will be short of is time to sample everything on offer.

The airport is less than 20 minutes away by taxi and the hosts will happily organise an airport pick up or car hire upon request.

Although the apartment bock does not have its own parking, being on a quiet and non-thoroughfare street means that it is usually fairly easy to find a place to park close to the apartment.

It should be noted that the penthouse being on the 3rd floor without a lift is not suitable for persons with reduced mobility. This being said, the stairways are wide and very easy to climb.

To avoid misunderstandings, please note the following:
a) Included in the nightly rental is 10kWh of electricity/day, which is more than adequate for normal usage. For extra consumption, a coin meter is provided in the apartment set at €1 buys an extra 4 kWh of electricity.
b) There is a stay tax imposed by the Maltese Tourist Authority of €0.50/guest/night. This applies to persons of 18 years and older and is capped at €5/person per stay in Malta. This tax will be collected upon check-in at the apartment.

Regarding check in:
• Normal check in times 16:00 to 22:00.
• Late check ins after 22:00 are possible but subject to an extra fee of €20 payable at
check in time.
• Early check ins may be arranged if the apartment is available and cleaned in time.

We speak English, French, Italian and (some) German. It will be our pleasure to welcome you for a memorable holiday in our penthouse.

Great views of Marsascala bay and plenty of room to relax
This apartment has great views of the Marsascala harbour and with 5 balconies there is plenty of room to enjoy the views. The apartment had everything we needed and is close to the restaurants without being bothered by the noise or hustle and bustle around them. The apartment is in very good condition and easily caters for 4 people. Cynthia, the property manager was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We loved staying here.

We got bed bugs and this was disputed by the owner
We loved the location and facilities but most especially the assistance of the local property manager. Unfortunately, one of us got bed bug bites which are completely different to mosquito welts. Mosquitos are expected. Bed bugs are not. We found black specks throughout the bed. Later in our stay, we did get mosquito bites which just confirmed how very different the bites are. However, the property manager relied on fumigation that had occurred a week or so beforehand and did not refund part or all of our booking. We went elsewhere in Malta but it cost us a day of our holiday to relocate and various hours to try to achieve a resolution. And it seems it has cost us the full price of the booking, regardless of photos. I did not get a doctor or pharmacist to confirm and this should not be necessary. We LOVED Malta and this experience will not stop us returning - just not here.

About the host

Hosted by Peter & Alda

Host profile image
Recently retired and now living in Malta we lead an active life style. Our favourite pass-times are Argentine Tango, meeting people and sailing.

Why they chose this property

Having lived in many different countries, we decided to "settle down" by the sea. We chose Marsascala as it is a laid back but living fishing port with an active social life throughout the year. Marsascala is also an ideal base for touring the rest of the island either by car or bus.
Malta being an island is never too far away from the sea, but the Solmar penthouse has a gorgeous full frontal view over the Marsascala fishing harbour and the open sea beyond.

What makes this property unique

The penthouse is unique because it combines many individual benefits in a single offering:
- The fantastic view over the harbour and the sea
- Generous sized terraces all-round ideal for al-fresco dining and sun bathing
- The central location - everything is less than 5 minutes away on foot
- Most tourist destinations on the island can be reached within 30 minutes by car
- Situated on a quiet non-thoroughfare street - easy street parking
- Bus service from the bottom of the road linking directly to lively Valletta, the airport and the historic Three Cities area
