Antonia's Pearls

Peaceful Retreat This property is truly a gem and so is the little town of Charleston. The Studio is immaculately maintained and comfortable - you can feel the owners’ love and effort put into maintaining it, which is so rare to come by these days. Floors, bathroom and surfaces were spotless. The bed was warm and so comfortable. Amenities are as listed. Owner/host, Antonia, is a wonderful and lovely lady (I miss her already!). We had a slight miscommunication at time of booking, but she was so patient and understanding she won me over. I highly recommend this place. And if you do go stay here, please… please… please… be considerate and help maintain the property so that more people can go and enjoy this beautiful place.

We recently stayed for 4 nights in Charlestown to ‘bookend’ our younger daughter’s wedding at the nearby Eden Project. A group of us shared Blossom and Olivia’s cottages. They are side by side in a delightful position overlooking the little harbour. Both cottages are very comfortable, beautifully decorated and lavishly equipped. Each with their own tiny garden and parking space. We didn’t have time to venture much beyond Charlestown itself but enjoyed exploring it on foot, and sampling some of the local restaurants. The wedding went off very well and – judging by the comments of others – we had made an excellent choice of accommodation. The fact that both cottages were so comfortable, helped in making the overall occasion such a success. Thank you Antonia.
