Hotel Review
Hotel Tresanton, St Mawes, Cornwall
Hotel Tresanton is a luxurious affair. Hotelier Olga Polizzi created one of the first truly chic British seaside boltholes, and over twenty years on it effortlessly holds its own without any pretention. Nestled on a hillside, the thirty beautifully designed boutique bedrooms offer enviable sea views, while access to sub-tropical gardens, a beach club and a private wooden yacht mean you'll find plenty of places to relax on this unique stretch of coastline. A stay at Tresanton includes endless memorable experiences: enjoy lunch on the terrace or supper in the restaurant, where Italian-inspired dishes showcase Cornish suppliers and seasonal ingredients at their best.
