Bright spacious penthouse - beautiful sea views
About this condo rental
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 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 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 and check out: • Normal check in times 16:00 to 22:00. • Late check ins are possible, but we need to ask for a particpation to the extra cost incurred as follows: 22h00 - 24h00 late check in fee of €30 24h00 - 08h00 night time check in fee of €50 Fee is payable to the person checking you in in cash • Early check ins may be arranged if the apartment is available and cleaned in time. Likewise, late check outs will be accommodated where possible with respect to next arrival time. We speak English, French, Italian and (some) German. It will be our pleasure to welcome you for a memorable holiday in our penthouse. Kind Regards Peter & Alda

I had a great time staying in the flat the views where great. close to restaurants and bars, and not far from the main bus stop. the slight down side was the flat was on the top floor and there was some road noise as it over looked a main road. but sitting out on the balcony looking over the harbour was way worth it. communication with the hosts great. i had a problem with the shower and they where there within a short time and the problem was solved. I would highly recommend a stay at this flat.

The penthouse is in a quiet neighborhood with spectacular views over the village and harbour. It is 72 steps up to the condo and there is not a lift-the views are the reward! The apartment had a well supplied kitchen and we had all we needed. The water pressure is light. The linens could do with a refresh. There are restaurants, cafes and grocery stores close by. Local buses stop very close to the condo making it easy to get around. Cynthia picked us up and dropped us back to the airport which was very helpful. She took us on a day long tour to many sites on Malta that we really enjoyed-she is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. There is a very nice beach with restaurants only a 20 minute walk away. We really enjoyed our time in Malta at this apartment and the area.

We had a splendid time in the Solmar apartment. Collected at the airport by Cynthia who gave us a good introduction to Malta and the running of the apartment. The apartment itself was clean, tidy and well appointed. Our stay was greatly enhanced by a very comfortable bed and very quiet air conditioning. Many thanks.

Lovely town/area, with great restaurants and pubs. Bus terminus was a few minutes walk away, which were very easy to use. Local shops were around the corner.
Villa was very spacious and exactly as described in the advert, beds were so comfortable and very clean.
Overall we were very pleased with the accommodation and area, we don't feel we could have choosen better.

Easy to keep cool and a treasure to return to at the end of a day discovering Malta.

The flat was really brilliant with its 5 balconies and a lot of space. Almost everything what you desire was available. Only 2 points to mention is that a user manual for the ashing machine would be helpful and the point that the user manual for the flat itself was not quite up to date: for example the bakery mentioned was closed and the property was set to "for sale".
Apart from this the overall impression of the flat and the support of Cynthia and George was great ! Thanks again !

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 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.

We enjoyed the simple modern open floor plan and the uncluttered interior. The harbour views were spectacular.
There were a few hiccups with water pump and pressure, but they were resolved satisfactorily.
We highly recommend this accommodation as an excellent location to hub and spoke Malta. We also liked the fact that Marsascala is much less touristic then Valletta.
Property mgrs, Cynthia and George Debono provided excellent local knowledge and shuttle services. In addition we really enjoyed their Azure Bay Tours, 5 ⭐️

Unfortunately i was not able to fully enjoy this apartment as i was away for business most part of the day during my 1 week stay. Still, it was the perfect place to come home to at the end of the day, to sit down on one of the balconies with a drink, relax and appreciate the amazing view of the bay.
Apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped.
Comfortable beds.
Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance.
Being only 64, i enjoyed my daily exercises walking up the stairs... the view is worth the effort.
I highly recommend this place to anyone and hope to be able to return for another visit soon.
Special thanks to Cynthia for her warm welcome and for helping me find the perfect route for my daily (15 minute) commute through the maze of construction sites around the airport.

Marsascala is a quiet and beautiful location for a stay in Malta. The bus service is very close to this apartment and when not travelling, sitting on one of the five balconies of the penthouse enjoying the sun and water view was most enjoyable.
5.0
The penthouse is lovely, very bright and airy. The view is incredible. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. Marsascala has a beautiful harbour, with many restaurants and shops. We did not have a car and used. public transport which was close by to the apartment. The bus was crowded at rush hour but efficient.
5.0
We had a wonderful 5 nights here at the end of December. The views of the harbour are amazing and the apartment was well equipped, quiet and comfortable.
There are many convenience stores, cafes and restaurants and the bus stop within a short walk. We had many great days out including walks along the coast (I highly recommend walking to Marsaxlokk and as there are stunning views of cliffs and turquoise seas along the way, and getting a Bolt/Uber back).

Best view ever!
Lovely apartment with all the basic needs for a family of 4.
Really good aircondition and the most beautiful view over the harbor of Marsascala.
Good WIFI!
All mail communication with the owner Peter went smooth and all arrangement to be pick up at the airport by George was perfect.
Excellent service from George during the stay. He fixed a car to rent and arrange an afternoon on his sailing boat with his kind wife.
The only heads up is, that you can't drink the water from the tap, and when you arrive late (after 10PM) be sure to have some water with you, because there is no drinking water in the apartment and the shops are closed.
If we go back to Malta we would definitely stay at Peters apartment again,

Vacances Parfaites
Nous avons passés un très agréable séjour , l'appartement est magnifique et la vue sur le port donne envie d'y prendre de long repas . Peter est une personne très sympathique et disponible ainsi que George. Appartement très propre et très spacieux , un peu plus de vaisselle pour 4 personnes ( tasses a café , verres ....) serait apprécié, Je recommande vivement cet appartement . Encore merci pour ces vacances

We really liked the apartment. It had everything we needed, and was in a great location to find restaurants or go for a walk. It's only 15-20 minutes from Valetta and St. Julian's, which was perfect for us.
The only challenges were the parking and the 7 flights of stairs. Although, in hindsight we could use the exercise.
We would recommend the apartment for anyone.

Die Wohnung ist sehr gut eingerichtet mit toller Sicht.
Großzüge Wohnung mit viel Platz. Betten, Bäder und sonstige Einrichtungen ok. Lediglich der Lärm der Straße war etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Bei geschlossenem Fenster kein Problem.
Vermieterservice perfekt und bestens betreut.

Moderne Penthauswohnung in Marsascala mit fantastischem Blick
Wir hatten mit 4 Erwachsenen einen Kurzurlaub von 5 Tagen in dieser wirklich schönen, hellen und modernen Penthousewohnung verbracht. 2 Schlafzimmer, 2 Bäder einen großen offenen
Wohn- und Küchenbereich alles ordentlich und sauber. Umlaufend befinden sich 3 Balkone und 2 Terrassen so dass man sich entweder Sonne oder Schatten aussuchen konnte. Bei der Ausstattung in der Küche war alles was man benötigte da. Wir hatten jedoch eine Kaffeemaschine vermisst. An- und Abreise waren unproblematisch und die Übergabe der Wohnung erfolgte duch Georg. Die gute Lage der Wohnung ermöglicht relativ kurze Anfahrten nach Marsaloxx und auch nach Valetta. Letzlich waren wir mit allem sehr zufrieden und würden jederzeit gerne wieder die Wohnung mieten.

Een fantastisch appartement, met een groots uitzicht!
Dit is eigenlijk een Penthouse, prachtig uitzicht op maar liefst 3 balkons en dan dan ook nog 2 hele grote balkons aan de achterzijde waar je heerlijk kunt liggen in lekkere ligstoelen. Goede bedden, 2 badkamers, mooie keuken en een grote eettafel waar je ook van het fantastische uitzicht kunt genieten!

Wunderschön, gastfreundlich und sehr komfortabel
Ganz kurzfristig und unkompliziert hat Peter uns seine wunderschöne Wohnung in Marsascala vermietet. Die Wohnung selber ist traumhaft, mit fünf Balkonen, 2 Badezimmern und sehr komfortablen, modernen Zimmern. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und die Ausstattung (auch in der Küche) lässt keine Wünsche offen. Auch die Lage ist super. In einer höher gelegenen Straße (2. Parallelstraße zum Hafen) ist es nicht mehr so "trubelig" wie an der Hafenpromenade und man hat einen großartigen Blick auf den kleinen Fischerhafen. In kurzer Entfernung gibt es einen kleinen Busbahnhof mit sehr guter Anbindung in alle Richtungen, die Busse sind ziemlich pünktlich, allerdings sind sie auch ein paar mal ausgefallen. Mit der Explorerbuskarte ( z.Zt. 21€ für 7 Tage) haben wir die gesamte Insel und auch Gozo erkundet. Vom Flughafen wurden wir von George, einem sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Freund von Peter abgeholt, der uns auch während unseres Aufenthaltes nützliche Tipps geben konnte. Meine Söhne (15 und 20 Jahre alt) und ich haben unseren Aufenthalt bei Peter und auch in Marsascala sehr genossen und wir sind ganz begeistert von den Maltesern und ihren Inseln. Vielen Dank für die großartige Gastfreundschaft und die Woche bester Erholung!
