Genoa

Fantastic apartment with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, thank you.

Prime location with amazing views across to Godrevy. Beds were so comfortable with quality bedding and lovely soft towels provided. The perfect base for exploring the coastline nearby and our Cavapoo loved our early morning walks down to the beautiful beach. Loved our stay in this lovely apartment so much, we will definitely return. Thank you, Alison, Adrian and Charlie the Cavapoo

A lovely duplex apartment with sea views.

It was spotless on arrival. The bedding and towels were a high standard. The kitchen was very well equipped and I managed to cook Christmas day lunch without any problems. I would gladly book again.

Great accommodation, well located and thoroughly enjoyed our experience, have already booked next year

Wow, wow , the property was amazing and the view were beautiful and breathtaking.

The apartment was perfect very clean and had everything we wanted.

Excellent views, very clean ,loved Carbis Bay and thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend,

It was lovely want what i expected though from the photos and it was a lot of money for what it was

Fabulous property with amazing views over the bay.

The balcony was a morning sun trap with the added bonus of the rear terrace for afternoon sun! Genoa is modern, well maintained with everything you need. A short walk down a very steep hill takes you to the Carbis bay resort and beach which is amazing and a 20 minute walk along the coast path to St Ives. Perfect stay with our Cockapoo we would love to return.

Great accomodation with everything you need, beautiful views of Carbis Bay.

We had a fabulous time.

Apartment is well appointed and the views are stunning. Parking was easy and my sons really enjoyed the TV tech. The only negative we had was when we went to leave early we discovered that the wheelie bin for the property was completely full (not sure if it hadnt been emptied the previous week or if someone else had used it) which meant we had nowhere to put the rubbish and being outside of business hours we were unable to contact anyone to ask what they would like us to do but apart from that the whole holiday was seamless and very very enjoyable. Thank you to all the team involved in this property.

This apartment is amazing the view the surroundings and also dog friendly so its a family holiday for all ,12 0ut of 10 will be back next year

Stunning property, amazing views, great location.

That's how I would sum up Genoa. This beautiful, modern, very comfortable, cosy apartment is a truly fantastic base for your Cornish holiday with amazing beaches on your doorstep. It really did cover all bases. Of course St Ives is wonderful but to be able to stay within easy reach of all it has to offer in this stunning property is a real privilege. It is clean, bright and spacious, light pouring in from the huge windows and an elevated position showing the bays in all their glory. Close to the coastal path and the bus route for those who wish to use it. 10 out of 10!!!

We had such a wonderful magical holiday!

Views were amazing and the short walk to Carbis bay beach was a bonus, however the hill was a little steep on the way back but we got used to it

There are a few small things that require attention:- Fridge requires a couple of screws to hold it in place as every time you open it falls forward Ironing board cover needs replacing Tried to Open vellux window however somebody had wedged the handle there Also thought 2 dishwasher tablets for the size of the dishwasher for the week was very stingy However all in all a very nice holiday let and would recommend and use again

Genoa is not a genuine dog friendly accommodation.

The outside is not enclosed, meaning your dog has to be on the lead at all times unless you are playing together. In addition, the manual states clearly that it is Guide Dogs only, and don't let them on the grass! Where else was Honey going to wee etc? Apart from that, Genoawas wonderful.

Lovely apartment , well situated , spectacular views .

Pet friendly ,highly recommended

We have stayed at this property before and it’s a particular favorite of ours.

This time was no exception. Apart from a couple of minor grips we would be back. One of my personal issues was that there are too many perfume sticks placed around. I suffer from allergies and I did mention this to the booking agent about strong odours. Lastly the light in the bedroom hadn’t been dusted in ages and was full of cobwebs. On a positive we stayed Christmas week and they had put up a Christmas tree which was a nice touch.

Fantastic apartment.

Slight issue with the outside lights at the back of the building. Shame we had to cut short our stay due to illness.

Genoa is one of the nicest properties we have stayed in around Carbis bay.

It has everything you could want,everything works and perfect location.

Re.

Booking ref 3667F-EN To whom it may concern. Firstly I would like to say thank you for the £100 compensation for the broken shower controls. The service we received regarding this was superb, the maintenance man was there with in minutes of us calling the office and he was very helpful. The apartment was beautiful, very clean and fully equipped. The view absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, I do have one complaint. We arrived at the apartment an hour early, we checked the key safe and as the key was there I presumed it would be ok to enter the apartment. We’d only been in there a few minutes when an Extremely aggressive woman came in screaming at my elderly parents that we had no right being in there until she had inspected the place. Ok, we made a mistake by entering early which I honestly did not think would be such an issue. I apologised over and over and said we would leave but there was absolutely no reasoning with this woman, she was so aggressive and rude. I worked in the travel industry on cruise ships and we were always told the guest should ALWAYS be treated with the utmost respect regardless if you thought they were in the wrong or not. This was most definitely not the case here. It’s such a shame we had to have this horrible experience as everything else was 5 star.

Apartment was stunning!

One of the nicest places we have stayed in, everything was of a high quality. Felt very homely and the views were amazing. Would highly recommend.

Excellent property, well equipped with everything you will need.

Ideal location. Had a superb week and will visit again.

This was our third visit and we have already booked for next year Genoa suits us we are very happily with the property

Great vacation property.

We felt the flat had everything you needed to have a wonderful vacation. Well situated, close to shopping, restaurants and transportation links. Highly recommend

Everything you could ask for in accommodation, view spectacular

So happy that the owner has thought of everything you could possibly need to have a lovely staycation, went to re book it but it’s fully booked on our dates…….

Perhaps next year

Genoa was perfect, well maintained, very clean and spacious with everything we needed.

Very nicely furnished with comfy furniture. Beautiful view too. A welcome pack was left which was very much appreciated. Would highly recommend a stay here and we will definitely return. Couldn’t fault it.

Beautiful property in an excellent location.

The property was well laid out and had all of the home from home items. We had a few issues with some of the local kids playing football/frisbee in the car park over my car but that isn’t the property owners fault. We would definitely book again.

This property was one of the best we have stayed in.

It never felt like a holiday rental it was a real home from home. We loved it so much we have booked to visit again in October. My only grumble is the Valley Road Hill it is very steep if coming up from the beach. Only mention this for the benefit of those less able. However this has not deterred us from wanting to return.

Spotless, comfortable apartment in superb location giving wonderful views.

Dog friendly too which is a real bonus, everything you could need and more, thank you!

Had a great stay.

The flat had everything we needed. Great view and best of all our litttke dog was welcome. Short walk to the beach. Short walk to Tesco. Perfect location and very warm and comfortable accommodation. Would definitely recommend.

The property exceeded our expectations.

It is really well located, with access to Carbis Bay and the local trains and buses close-by. Fantastic views from the property and the provision of binoculars to see the local fishing boats was a bonus. We had a fantastic week and loved the local area for walking, eating and drinking.

Absolutely fantastic apartment facilities bang on the views we're incredible 10 out of 10 will definitely go back

Great views, high spec finishing a.

Lovely bedrooms. The living area was small for 6 people with insufficient comfy seats but fine for a lovely week away in a great setting.

This is our third visit to Genoa and once again we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The facilities offered are great and the situation of Genoa is ideal. All in all no complaints whatsoever and we have already booked for next year.

Excellent apartment

Hi, lovely property, wonderful holiday but would have liked blackouts blinds in the top bedroom.

Beautiful apartment, spotless and well equipped.

Beautiful location with stunning views. Thank you for the lovely welcome pack and homemade dog biscuits. Would definitely book again

Fabulous apartment - spotless, spacious, well equipped and with every home comfort you could wish for, a generous welcome pack was left too.

The location is peaceful with an amazing view of the sea which is only a short walk away and St.Ives is also walkable along a delightful coastal path (less than 2 miles)

Really well equipped.

Gorgeous views. Perfect!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our winter stay in Genoa.

The apartment had absolutely everything we needed and more. Waking up to the sea view was fabulous. The location is excellent and we loved walking into St Ives along the coastal path. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Lovely accommodation, very clean and welcoming.

The view is stunning.

A lovely apartment - would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our week at Genoa.

The view I never get tired of looking at. It's a lovely apartment, and a great asset that we can bring along our little dog too, so she can enjoy the holiday break we have. Although we live in Cornwall ourselves, mid county, we love coming to visit Carbis Bay, and staying there. We had a couple of small issues, such as the bathroom window wouldn't open, and the top bedroom window wouldn't close, so we reported it straight away to the office for them to look at once our week had ended. But it wouldn't stop me from staying at this lovely apartment again. Thank you.

Fabulous views.

Spacious, modern apartment. Able to take our pet & Useful information for places to visit in the apartment. Definitely would book again.

We've booked this apartment before.

It's superb. We love St Ives and we live in Cornwall, but this is a special place for us. Hoping to return for years to come.

Genoa is a relaxing and beautiful apartment with the best views.

For us this is a very nice apartment in a very nice situation.

This is our second visit and we have already booked for next year.

Excellent apartment.

Excellent view Excellent holiday

“Everyone at Carbis Bay that I spoke to were lovely and very helpful. The accommodation suited us perfectly. As soon as we turned the key, the property smelled really fresh, and the standard of housekeeping excellent. The fixtures and fitting were up to a good standard. I’ll happily use the company again, and recommend it to friends.” K.MacKay

"As usual, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Genoa, the apartment was spotless and well equipped with everything that we needed for our stay. Had a lovely trip on the open topped bus, we also had a brilliant outing to the Geevor tin mine. Found the whole place fascinating. Had a lovely lunch and cream tea at the Tea House on the Wharf in St Ives." P. Tice

"We stayed at Genoa and were delighted with the five star accommodation and look forward to visiting again soon. On to places to eat. We could thoroughly recommend The Firehouse in Fore Street, St Ives and Cafe Pasta on the harbourside. Two places that did wonderful full english breakfasts were On Shore and The Ocean Grill on the harbourside. I loved my coffee at Costa in Tesco (Carbis Bay) and the view from there must be the nicest of any Costa in the country. If anyone wants to experience a wonderful pasty i would say Rowes in Penzance or Helston are just gorgeous. Places we really enjoyed were the views from Cape Cornwall and Lamorna Cove, Mullion Cove and the Minnack Theatre." A. Rosser

"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Genoa. The standard of furnishings and the cleanliness was second to none. All the little extras you provide made this a perfect holiday apartment. The views from various rooms were amazing. We could not fault anything and hope to come back again soon. We enjoyed a lovely seafood meal at the Mermaid on the last night and put on a few pounds sampling the Cornish pasties and cream teas. Afternoon tea at the Carbis Bay Hotel was a real treat. Carbis Bay beach was lovely and we spent a lot of time in St. Ives just exploring. A visit to Mousehole was also a highlight, absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to come back." C. Rothwell

"Genoa is lovely, clean and very well equipped and furnished, we did have a problem with the television and the toaster but this was very quickly resolved. We had very enjoyable meals at the Onshore and The Beach in St Ives and also at La Casa Romano in Carbis Bay. We also ate at the Tyringham Arms exceptional value." S. Walther

"Having been visiting St Ives for 50+ years I have to say that this was the nicest accommodation I have experienced. I have stayed at a number of popular hotels in St Ives but this was by far a better experience. The whole process from start to finish was straight forward and uncomplicated, many times over the years I have experienced less than satisfactory accommodation and service, this was not the case with Genoa our expectations were exceeded from the minute we met your representative, you seem to have this process spot on. We like the coffee shop in St Ives ‘The Hub’ for snacks and coffee, also the fish bar next door did amazing fish and chips…we always make a trip to the Tinners Arms at Zennor for lunch and that didn’t disappoint. We also had dinner a couple of times at The Badger Inn in Lelant, which had excellent food and service. We would definitely look to book Genoa again for future trips to Carbis Bay…hopefully not in the too distant future!" H. & D. Broomhead

"Everything about the holiday at Genoa was exceptional. The standard of the accommodation and cleanliness was excellent, the greet/handover was efficient and the holiday more than met our expectations. What we particularly liked was the extra’s i.e. the cream tea. the pint of milk etc. We visited the Seal & Otter Sanctuary and Lappa Valley Steam Railway with our two year old granddaughter and although a little expensive for adults under 5’s are free and she loved every minute at both these venues. The Wyevale Garden Centre is an excellent coffee stop and we ate out twice at the La Casita, the food and service here was excellent and they were very accommodating to our granddaughter.The Eden Project is well worth a visit although quite expensivem, we used our Tesco Clubcard vouchers and for four adults (one of which was a concession i.e. over 60) it only cost £28 – good tip for prospective visitors." M. Widdeson

"Everything about our stay at Genoa was absolutely brilliant. The accommodation and services were second to none, and the property was lovely and clean when we arrived. February was a lovely time to visit Carbis Bay, a time when many people probably wouldn't even consider visiting. The walk from Carbis Bay to St Ives is well worth taking, with some lovely views along the way. We can certainly recommend dining at the Porthminster Cafe' on Porthminster Beach. It is very popular, so booking is recommended. Also the Sea Food Cafe in Fore Street is well worth a visit, again booking is recommended. The Carbis Bay Hotel restaurant is also well worth a visit." R., Cross

"Genoa was very nice indeed, we went to Watermill restaurant, La Casita all very good." M. Heaton

"This was our second stay at Genoa and we enjoyed it just as much as last year.The apartment was spotless.We particularly enjoy walking the coastal path from Carbis Bay to St Ives, we enjoyed a cream tea at the Carbis Bay Hotel in their conservatory which has wonderful views of the beach. We also enjoyed an excellent evening meal at the Porthminster Cafe." P. Ice

"This was our second stay at Genoa and we enjoyed it just as much as last year, the apartment was spotless.We particularly enjoy walking the coastal path from Carbis Bay to St Ives andthis year the weather was good enough to do this walk a couple of times. We enjoyed a cream tea at the Carbis Bay Hotel in their conservatory which has wonderful views of the beach.We also enjoyed an excellent evening meal at the Porthminster Cafe. We hope to stay at Genoa again." P. & H. Deakin

"We had a great time at Genoa. The apartment was perfect: spotlessly clean, bright and modern decor, fantastic view and v well equipped. Tesco is so convenient too! The children loved having their own rooms and my husband and I especially enjoyed the filter coffee machine!! We did a lovely walk into St Ives and beyond via the coastal path and spent a little time on Carbis Bay Beach although we did head up the coast to Newquay for the surfing too. Had a meal at La Cassita but enjoyed out Mexican meal at The Mex in St Ives most of all." L. Stoves

"We have been to Cornwall on a number of occasions, but never to Carbis Bay. It was enjoyable and quite peaceful saying that it is only a short distance from St Ives. The kids enjoyed the beach at both CB and Hayle. We ate at Alba and the Sea Food Restaurant on Fore St in St Ives a couple of times and both were excellent. The one trip we all enjoyed was the Tate, it was really good and so child friendly." B. White

"Just to let you know we had a great time whilst staying at Genoa in Carbis Bay last week. Genoa was superb, well equipped, clean, tastefully furnished like a home away from home. Carbis Bay is a superb location, very relaxing and in reach of all local facilities. We hope to return soon!" Anon

"We had a very enjoyable time staying at Genoa, well equipped, clean and conveniently located. A couple of places that we could recommend are. The Alba restaurant in St Ives. and Lamorna Pottery for a cream tea. Delicious." P. Ice

"We loved the apartment (Genoa), the views were great and it was a very convenient place for us, in fact we didn't use the car once during the week we were there. If we wanted to go to St Ives we walked along the coastal path. We also walked along the path in the opposite direction to Porth Kidney Beach and Tesco of course was less than a 5 minute walk away." E. Wood, Kent

"We had an excellent holiday, Genoa was a lovely apartment with stunning views over the sea. The accommodation was clean and well presented with all the extras you could want. We were met by friendly staff on arrival." P. Buckle

"Just a quick note to say, that Genoa was the best apartment we have ever hired. From the moment we arrived we found every aspect of the apartment to be exceptional. Each room, whether the en suite, the bedrooms, the bathroom the lounge or the kitchen we found to be beautifully decorated and equipped. With stunning views from three of the four rooms the apartment was a fantastic centre for our holiday." D. Jackson

"The accommodation was very nice, clean and to a very high specification. The children were very pleased with the provision of the Playstation and Wii, they kept them entertained first thing in the morning whilst we had a lie in!!" K. Cuerden

"Genoa is a fantastic, super cool, well equipped, luxury apartment and proved even better than the web-site suggested it might be. We loved the views, the comfort and the quality of the fit-out. The kids loved the Nintendo Wii and finally found a computer game that they could play together. The apartment is ultra stylish and was an absolute joy to come back to every day. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, and every appliance was of the highest quality and in immaculate condition." V. Bamford

"Genoa was lovely, a beautiful apartment, exceptionally well equipped, with fantastic views. We had a lovely break, and enjoyed the peaceful location of this property, which is a credit to the owner. We have stayed in Cornwall at various locations over a number of years, and this property has almost certainly been the best so far! We would love to return again, hopefully in the not too distant future." Gary Thorpe

"We had a fab week at no 4 The Spinnakers, the apartment was perfect. Lovely welcome pack, was met by the housekeeper, who was very friendly. The apartment was extremely clean and very well looked after. It was uncluttered, and plenty of storage space. Beds were very comfortable. We could not have asked for better. Very pleased with how easy the booking was." Sue Wood

Didn’t want to leave!

"This is the second time we had stayed in Genoa and we had another brilliant stay! Has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. Brilliant views of the bay and in an excellent location. Even better that we can bring our dog too. We’ve already booked to return again...twice! Gutted to leave but can’t wait to return!"<br/>Paul & Claire

Breathtaking View

"From the moment we entered the property we felt at home. Genoa is beautifully furnished, spotless and spacious, with everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The view was breath-taking and we spent most mornings and evenings sat on the balcony despite it being December! We had a wonderful stay and will be back!!"<br/>Mrs Gregg

Absolutely Stunning

"Genoa was one of the most beautiful apartments we have stayed in in Carbis Bay. We were an adult family and everyone had their own space. The underfloor heating in the bathrooms and the Kitchen was wonderful. We stayed during Feb which was cold but the apartment was wonderful. The view was lovely, we also had our puppy with us so the short walk to the beach was great. We would 100% return. "<br/>Lisa
