Perfect location, lovely views

Absolutely lovely weekend break. Amazing views from the balcony and short walk to the harbour (if you don't mind the uphill walk back!). The apartment was lovely and Louise and Sean reacted quickly to messages during our stay. Thank you!

Welcoming..

Louise & Sean who run these apartments have been great from the start, and it's their 1st 'season' - they are going to do great in the future, if our experience is anything to go by !! The reservation & booking went through smoothly, and we were supplied with all the necessary information regarding Covid arrangements, as well as what was supplied as part of the booking. They sent us a list of places to eat, and we can't fault any of the 3 we tried!!...excellent recommendations The property itself is stunning, and the view from our balcony in Genova flat, was exactly as described. A well kept & maintained house & gardens in a location not far from the seafront. One word of warning...its a steep walk upto the property once on Stitchill Road!!

A beautiful Gorgian getaway

A super period property situated in the leafy suburb of Wellswood in Torquay. The apartment, situated on the first floor is spacious, with dining and lounge benefiting from a southerly aspect. Through the French windows from the lounge area you access the private balcony overlooking the sumptuous garden and onwards into Torbay. A fantastic quiet and secluded base from which to explore the Torbay area. This wonderful property is managed superbly with every consideration taken care of. Thank you.

Perfect get away

Lovely place for a short stay. Fabulous building, well equipped kitchen, nice views. Steep walk down to the town and back but helps work up a thirst or appetite.

Absolutely amazing house

Excellent house. We stayed in the 3 bed apartment which was everything we had hoped for. Welcome tea, coffee, milk and even biscuits were left for us. My 4 yr old daughter was over the moon with the kids zone. Everything was catered for you couldn't ask for anything as it had it all. We had a picnic of which we borrowed a picnic basket and blanket. The staircase is magnificent. Thank you John for making our stay a very memorable one.

Quiet & secluded location nestled in the hills of Torquay, with fabulous sea views from our upstairs apartments with private balconies.
An acre of beautiful award winning gardens, downstairs Venezia has a private terrace and direct garden access.
Vomero is within a ten minute walk of the sea, town, restaurants and theatre.
