“When we bought the house, we decided to reflect the Hampton-style exterior in its interiors, using natural materials – wood, bamboo and jute – to create a calm backdrop that invokes a glamorous holiday lifestyle. We added personal artefacts from around the world, and modern, bright colour pops of art, plus discs by our favourite artists on the walls. We wanted it to be totally unique, and full of interesting, uplifting things. We love spending time here ourselves, and love sharing it with guests.” Owner, Luca
She loves
“The palm trees at the front of the property, which instantly make you feel like you’re on holiday when you see them.”
We love
The various curated playlists, each perfect for a different holiday mood. Luca’s husband is a bigwig in the music industry so has impeccable taste.

- Polperro has all the romance of a Cornish fishing village – narrow lanes, colourful cottages, a pretty harbour and salty-air pubs. The Blue Peter Inn is Luca’s favourite, all cheerful chaos and live music at weekends.
- Dine at OXOX; stylish and modern but in a relaxed way (our favourite vibe). Order the lamb scrumpets with salsa verde, then the fig frangipane with Cornish clotted cream. Job done.
- Walk the coastal path to Polruan – 6 miles of dramatic cliffs and big sea views. Or stroll easier stretches around Talland Bay; turquoise waters, an ice cream kiosk, and beach cafes selling ice-cold rose at sunset.
- Lantic Bay is a showstopper of a beach. Expect a steep walk down, jaw-dropping views, and that delicious ‘secret cove’ feeling once you arrive.
- Swim and sauna at Polkerris Beach, then refuel with fish & chips and a pint at the Rashleigh Inn.
- Visit Fowey by ferry – hop across for riverside dining, independent shops and long lunches at spots like Appleton’s or Pintxo. Feels like a mini adventure without going far.
- Take kids crabbing off Polperro’s harbour wall and on day trips to the Monkey Sanctuary, Adrenaline Quarry, Charlestown and the Eden Project. Or, simply to the beach at Looe; buckets and spades, picnics, paddling, kites, ice creams, your childhood revisited.
