  • "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.

    Thank you for your feedback we are pleased to see that you had a fabulous time. The Carbis Bay Holidays Office is open 9-5.30 Monday-Saturday and can be reached on 01736 630015. We hope to see you again in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "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!!!

    Thank you for your feedback and giving us a 10/10. We are pleased to see that you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

    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.

  • "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.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted to hear Genoa is a favourite of yours. We are sorry to hear of the cleanliness issues you found during your stay, we will be sure to raise this with the housekeeper. We hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.

  • "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.

    Thank you so much for your feedback, we are pleased that you loved the property and that we were able to rectify the shower control issue very swifty for you. As per your key collection details, check in is strictly from 4pm – the keys are in the key safe ready for arrival but unless otherwise arranged, housekeepers and trades need access for the entirety of the changeover window, to ensure that you will find the property in its best condition. However, we do apologise, as this is not the welcome we expect our guests to receive when they arrive. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

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."

    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

    TestimonialAug 2014

  • ""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

About the location

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.
