A Week at Vomero

The property is tastefully split into self contained units that are very well equipped for a self catering stay. The grounds are immaculate and there is a great choice of outside seating. The walk up from town is a bit of a challenge, but what else can you expect in Devon! We would not hesitate to book for a return visit.

Disappointed!

Nice property outwardly,inside was old i.e.furnishings, no proper bathroom,a small sink in the bedroom and a decrepit toilet in the in the Tiny shower room.Obviously no room for the Sink in there. It should be also noted that in no way is the House suitable for Elderly people because of the EXTREME steepness of the surrounding area. You really need to rely on your car to get out and about because of steepness of the walk into Town.

Very welcoming,really nice apartments kept in really good condition

Really enjoyed our stay here the only downside is that it's on a steep hill and walking up and down it all week is tough but that's only a minor issue ..the apartment itself was lovely downside was the small bathroom squeezed into it!! we had a really nice welcoming and great service throughout when needed it would recommend it to others !

Lovely well maintained property.

The property is an imposing building that has been tastefully converted into holiday apartments. The property and gardens are very well maintained. Greeted on arrival by John the owner who was keen to show us round the property which he appears very proud of (and rightly so ) Our apartment was very clean and tastefully decorated. Lots of nice touches in room and you could tell the owners had put a lot of thought into the extras both in the room and available to borrow around the property . They have even provided picnic baskets and fold away chairs you can borrow if you want to go for a picnic around this lovely area of the country. The apartment was nice size for 2 people for the week we were there. Only slight grumble was the size of the bathroom but understand the difficulty in converting a property like this and keeping all the features is going to mean compromises and it didn't detract from our stay in any way. Apartments are at the top of a steep hill. It is a nice stroll down to Torquay harbour (about 15 mins walk ) .Coming back up can be hard but a taxi only costs £5 from harbour. I would definitely recommend staying at these apartments as they are very good value for money and cater for both adults and children

Studieren mal anders

Wir sind wegen eines Sprachkurses nach Torquay gekommen. Bei der Suche nach einer Ferienwohnung sprang uns Vomero sofort ins Auge. Die Realität hielt weitgehend, was die Bilder versprochen hatten. Das Appartement war zwar deutlich kleiner als gedacht, das Schlafzimmer mit halbhohen Wänden in den Wohnbereich hineingebaut und die Terrasse nur durch das Fenster direkt begehbar (deshalb einen Stern Abzug), aber das ganze Haus hat einen wunderbaren Charme. Auch Einrichtung und Deko erinnerte an "Das Haus am Eaton Place". Die Besitzer John und Angela waren überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie sind die Seele des Ganzen und sorgen dafür, dass man sich richtig wohl fühlt. Das Haus bietet einen extra Kinderspielbereich, eine beachtliche Gästebibliothek mit Büchern, DVDs und CDs. Das Beste ist aber der herrliche Garten, der genutzt werden darf und der wunderschöne Ausblick auf die Torbay-Bucht. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder, denn die englische Riviera hat so viel zu bieten, dass wir längst nicht alles gesehen haben: Wandern, Geschichte, alte Herrenhäuser mit prächtigen Gärten, Badestrände und gar nicht weit Dartmoor, das uns gleich gefangen genommen hat.

About the host

Hosted by Louise Clark

Host profile image
Welcome to Vomero, our home and family run holiday business in Torquay.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have lived in this beautiful Italian style Victorian villa since November 2019. Built in 1838, the house is full of rich history, charm and character, something we love sharing with our guests.

Hosting is something we genuinely enjoy and we take pride in creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where guests can feel at home while experiencing the beauty of the English Riviera.

Our aim is to ensure you have a memorable and relaxing stay.

Why they chose this property

We chose this special corner of Torquay for its rare balance of tranquillity and vibrant coastal life. Set within the beautiful English Riviera, Vomero is nestled in the hills, offering a peaceful, secluded setting while still being just a short stroll from the lively bay with its shops, bars and restaurants. The property itself is part of a stunning Grade II listed building dating back to 1838, now home to six unique self catering apartments full of character and charm. From here, you can enjoy the best of both worlds, relaxing in quiet surroundings with sea views and gardens, then heading down to the coast to soak up the atmosphere, beaches and local dining scene.

What makes this property unique

Set in a quiet hillside location in Torquay, Vomero offers the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience, with stunning sea views from private balconies and an acre of award winning gardens to enjoy. The property is rich in heritage, once home to Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1848, marked by a blue plaque and sits in the heart of the English Riviera, famously associated with Agatha Christie. Guests can stroll to the seafront, town centre and the Princess Theatre in under 10 minutes, while nearby ferry and bus links make it easy to explore Brixham, Paignton, and Dartmouth without a car. With beautiful surroundings, rich history, and easy access to fantastic restaurants, beaches, and coastal towns, Vomero is a truly special place to relax and explore. Guests can enjoy the convenience of onsite parking with a premium, high speed 22kW EV charger - pay as you go onsite.
