Hotel Tresanton
Cornwall, United Kingdom[view map]
- Style
- Breezy beach house
- Setting
- Chocolate-box Cornish village
Situated on Cornwall’s often-overlooked southern coast, between picturesque St Mawes and the rolling fields spliced with public footpaths leading to Falmouth. A former yachting club, Hotel Tresanton was built from a cluster of old houses in the Fifties, hence its higgledy-piggledy levels and port-town setting. Since the 1999 reopening, after an extensive refurbishment to bring it up to the standard expected by owner Olga Polizzi and her chi-chi A-list clientele it has achieved a Halkin-on-sea tag.
