Hotel Tresanton

Every room looks straight out at St. Anthony's lighthouse, which sets the tone for this quietly confident coastal hotel perched above St. Mawes harbor. Olga Polizzi rescued it from decades of neglect and furnished it with antiques, mosaic floors, and tongue-and-groove walls that feel genuinely collected rather than designed. The daily menu leans on local seafood, and on good days dinner moves to the terrace. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
