Tucked up in one of its sweeping Victorian terraces, this English Riviera apartment gives the south of France a run for its money. Lively in the centre of Torquay, this is England’s answer to sunny stretches of coastline, promenades, and the casinos of Monaco. Up here in your apartment, the blues of the sea and sky flood through grand windows to bless this elegant home with the light of the sea. Its petite size is all you need for two and with its tall ceilings, bold red sofas, and wallpapered bedroom, it makes up for small square footage with maximum opulence. Open the doors and the balcony is the perfect spot for a morning coffee, gazing out at the stretch of coastline that houses a number of activities to fill your days. From shopping, beaches, gardens, bowling, tennis, swimming, golf, horse riding, and sailing, the marina will have you spoilt for choice. Sunglasses on, head held high, and scarf swept over your shoulder, this is a stay to bring out your inner Grace Kelly.
