Internally located as Apartment 6 in this block
of 8 apartments located in this prime area of
Marsalforn. Two beaches lie within walking
distance: the main Marsalforn bay, where you have
the choice of a sandy, pebbley or rocky areas, or
the sandy bay of Qbajjar, complete with its
Knights' Battery and salt-pans!
The property is self-contained, and has seven
rooms offering a total area of approximately 85 m²
excluding two balconies - one at the back leading
off the main bedroom and offers a countryside view
and the front balcony leading of the Sitting /

sea-view panorama uninterrupted all the way to
Sicily!

On
opening the apartment door, one enters a largish room which serves as the sitting and dining
room. The sitting area made up of a
comfortable 3 place cushioned sofa, two cushioned
armchairs and a largish glass topped
|
|
|
|
coffee table is furnished in
rattan.
The dining area is made up of a table which, very
comfortably, seats six persons. The room also has
a remotely operated, tiltable, multi-channel
colour TV. Leading
off this room is the front balcony - with its
superb panorama. This can easily accommodate four
seated persons or a table and up to three chairs. The large french window is made of tinted material
(which serves to reduce the sun glare) and is also
furnished with an insect screen - so one door can
always be open if one so desires. |
|
| Leading
off on the right-hand side one finds the kitchen,
equipped with all the normal equipment such as a
4-burner gas-stove and wide oven, a large two door
fridge/freezer, a toaster and a cooker-hood
equipped with light and two fans. The crockery
covers all six- |
|
 |
persons this apartment can
accommodate. The sink is equipped with hot and
cold water.
|
Leading
off the kitchen is a corridor which leads to the
three bedrooms and bathroom. The first bedroom
contains two 90 cm beds, a mirror, a cupboard with
door and drawer, and a large, 3-door, built-in 280
cm floor to ceiling wardrobe.
|
|
 |
 |
 |
The second door leads to a
bathroom which consists of a full-sized bath
with shower facilities - both with hot and cold
water, WC, and a vanity unit complete with
wash-hand basin with hot and cold water. On top
of the wash-hand basin is a built in moulded
tile framed mirror. Included is a broom cupboard
where cleaning materials are kept.
|
|
|
Next to
the bathroom one finds the second bedroom, again
with twin-beds 90 cm wide. This bedroom is a copy
of the first bedroom except that the beds are of a
different design.
These two bedrooms share
the main
|
|
 |
|
bathroom which is situated just next
door.
|
|
 |
|
The last room that
the corridor leads to is the third bedroom -
furnished with a king sized |
|
 |
|
 | |
|
carved and panelled bed, a huge carved
ward-robe and a chest of drawers with a
mirror.
|
|
Leading off
this bedroom are an ensuite (shower, WC, wash-hand
basin) and the rear balcony with its view of the
knoll known as "il-qolla s-safra" or the yellow
knoll.
One can hang any washing on the |
|
 |
|
drying lines erected in this balcony. Clothes pegs
are provided. |

The
Locality around Bellavista
 |
|
|
Just across the road from Bellavista is a
children's adventure playground with slides,
swings and a "castle" with tunnels, ladders and
slides. This children's playground forms part of
a promenade embellished with trees, a fountain
and
four gazebos wherein one can sit in the
shade or take a picnic lunch! The sea is on the
other side of the promenade - roughly 30 metres
from Bellavista. The sea-air is incredible and
the view is uninterrupted to the horizon and
beyond.
At one end of the promenade is the car-park
-just 120 metres from Bellavista. Although you
can park your car on the left hand side of the
road, there usually is no parking place free, so
it is suggested that you park your vehicle here.
Within 500 metres from Bellavista are two
sandy bays: Qbajjar on the left hand side and the main bay of
Marsalforn on the right (just beyond the car
park). Both bays are popular with tourists
and therefore there are plenty of restaurants
and other facilities including dive-shops and
internet cafes.
Qbajjar is famous for its Battery and the
salt-pans. The battery was built by the Knights
of St. John in 1792 on the promontery to guard
the bay from invasion - now it is used as a
restaurant and disco. The promontery's tip is
covered with salt pans - hand carved hundreds of
years ago and which are still in use today.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The
pans are filled up with sea-water which then
evaporates leaving behind the sea-salt
that is harvested and sold. A
few meters away from Qbajjar, on the other side of
the Knight's Battery, is another quaint
bay: Xwejni. In summer you may often meet horse
owners who take their horses to bathe in this bay!

Suitability
|

Bellavista is perfectly suited for diving, walking
and family holidays.
