Stylish, bright, modern 2 bedroom apartment, terrace with stunning sea view

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

Solmar Apartments comprises a two 2 bedroom apartment 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 apartment 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 apartment with immediate check in, obtain 7 day bus pass tickets for you. We can also organise bespoke private guided visits should you so require.

A butcher, baker, 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 apartment 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 as well as an Android box in each apartment so that you can pick up many of your favourite channels. If you have subscriptions to streaming channels such as Amazon Prime or Netflix, please bring your User ID and Passwords with you so you can log on via the Android box.

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 block 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 apartment being on the 2nd 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 average usage. For extra consumption, a coin meter is provided in the apartment set at €1 buys an extra 4 kWh of electricity. Please note that during periods of extreme Summer heat, you may need to add a couple of Euros per day extra to fully cover AC consumption.
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.

Enjoyable stay in Marsascala
The apartment was as described, and offers a wonderful view of the harbor from the balcony. All of the amenities that anyone might need were provided and Cynthia (the property manager) gave a full description of all we needed to know on our arrival. A very good grocery store is just around the corner and several good restaurants are close by. We enjoyed Tal Familja most, for the excellent food and service. We would definitely recommend Peter's apartment to anyone.

Lovely view, a bit out of the way
Lovely view of Marsaskala harbour. Enough eateries for a short stay. We wanted to explore Island more. All buses go to Valletta but for a lot of other destinations you needed to go into Valletta and change there. Very inexpensive form of travel at 2.50 Euros pp for a few hours of travel but very time consuming. Enjoyed stay and hosts were very helpful.

Great View & Convenient
Great view and very convenient to the local bus terminus, restaurants and grocery shopping. Marsaskala is a small town about 45 minutes by bus from capital city Valetta. Has all the conveniences you need for a small town atmosphere yet just convenient bus rides to the common tourist attractions in Malta. Apartment was clean, had a great view and had the basics when we arrived. Managers George and Cynthia were very helpful. Overall, the property and location was what we were looking for and we had a relaxing stay while taking day trips by bus to the many tourist sights in Malta.

Location
The apartment is located in walking distance from cafes, restaurants and shops. The apartment was well appointed with a small balcony facing the harbour unfortunately because it faced East it was too hot to sit out there unless it was early in the morning or after 4:00 PM the only other negatives were the lack of available street parking and the fact that there is no elevator. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Friends holiday
Our holiday was great from start to finish. As recommended by the owner, George picked up us from the airport and took us straight to the apartment. He then took us back at the end of our holiday. Cynthia was there to welcome us at the apartment to show us around and explain how everything worked. They were both very friendly and helpful. They apartment was very clean and well equipped with very good air conditioning in all rooms. Well located with just a walk down the steps to the harbour. Excellent views from the balcony which were lovely in an evening around sunset. Overall this is a great base for exporting Malta. We used Uber to get around but the apartment is close to the bus station.

Great Appartment and Great Location
Excellent location for restaurants, local shops and bus terminal. Sandy beach 15 minutes walk away or short hop on bus. Appartment had everything you require for holiday, although we ate out every day ,the kitchen was well equipped so you could cook a meal if you wanted to stay in. The only thing missing was fresh bed linen for our second week stay. We did however wash sheets and dry sheets ourselves. And maybe some extra pillows for beds. Apart from that we had a great stay and loved Malta.

We chose Malta as it was on the Green List UK for travel.
I was surprised at how arid the landscape is in Malta in October but I realised that was because the island relies solely on the underground water table replenished by autumnal and winter rain. On the other hand the coast line was amazing with the turquoise sea in some bays. The bus rides became tedious: in order to explore Malta, it was necessary to take the bus to Valletta and reroute from the bus depot. Marsaskala is a gorgeous town with a churh whose bells peel a real tune on the hour. The flat was perfectly positioned to take in the best views of sea, harbour and fishing boats. There are about 4 convenience stores within easy walking distance.

Relaxing holiday
Really nice flat with a terrace and a sea view over the Marsaskala harbour. The flat is modern and spacious. It is equipped with everything you need. The bed in the en-suite bedroom is super comfy. We slept very well and there is no noise. Parking is easy to find if you need to. The communication with the host was quick and easy. We enjoyed our stay, close to the flat you can find a pharmacy, groceries store and restaurants. If you want to order take away, I would recommend to download Wolt. Instead of Uber, you can use Bolt for rides. Everything is so close - as Malta is a small island. A lot of nice rocky beaches close by and with 5 minutes walk you can have a Sicilian breakfast with fresh pastries and other typical sweets. Thank you Peter for hosting us, it was a pleasant stay.

Perfect situated in Mararskale
We enjoyed our stay very much. The flat is in the best area, close to restaurants and street life, and the view is beautiful. The flat needs a little updating though. Water pressure in an issue (it takes a little while to get wet) and the showers as such need an upgrade. The balcony, however beautiful, needs a baldakin or an umbrella to offer protection from rain or sun. The kitchen utensils are fine, if you want to prepare a cold meal, but the puts and pans are not fit for cooking, though. Still - very good value for money. And Cynthia and her husband are there for you all the time, if you need anything.
