Hotel Tresanton Hotel Tresanton

Sometimes, a hotel's setting is literally jaw-dropping. Such is the case at Hotel Tresanton, where secluded and sophisticated are perfectly paired to create an experience of sublime luxury by the sea.

St. Mawes hosts the lovely Hotel Tresanton, your gateway to the romance of Falmouth Bay. This picturesque hotel provides a wonderfully warm retreat with views of St. Anthony's lighthouse, a dreamy watercolor come to life at this spectacular nautical location. Warm days on the beach encourage swimming and sailing on the bay, while cooler days are perfect for a good book by the fire in the lounge or perhaps a classic film in the cinema.

While the Hotel Tresanton is blessed with a secluded location, guests needn't look far for top-tier dining. The breakfast spread is positively palatial, while the three-course dinner ushers platters of organic veggies and local seafood flavored with a hint of Italian zest (a nod to owner Olga Polizzi). The 29 accommodations at this boutique hotel are cozy and bright with an emphasis on natural light. Watch for distinctive art pieces from the hotel's Cornwall region and commodious furniture in the style of an English country estate.
