La Loggia, a unique and creatively designed cottage located in St Ives, Cornwall, offers a serene escape for up to six guests. Nestled within the gardens of Virginia Woolf’s historic Talland House, this property was originally designed by Bloomsbury architect George Kennedy in 1922. The house showcases distinctive arches and curves, reflecting a blend of historical charm and modern creativity, as the current owners have infused the space with vibrant colors and bold prints, creating an inviting atmosphere flooded with natural light.
The interior boasts a spacious ground floor featuring a generous living room with double vaulted ceilings that seamlessly connects to a well-equipped kitchen, utility area, and a bright conservatory. La Loggia is adorned with custom-crafted cabinetry and unique furniture pieces, enhancing its personality and warmth. The cottage includes four well-appointed bedrooms, with the master suite offering a luxurious free-standing Agape bath and an antique French king-size bed. The bathrooms are designed with high-quality fittings, including a Japanese deep soaking bathtub in the family bathroom, providing an extra touch of indulgence.
Outside, guests can enjoy stunning views of Godrevy Lighthouse from the beautifully landscaped garden, which is perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. The recently renovated heated swimming pool, maintained at a comfortable 25 degrees during the summer, features a bespoke hand-painted abstract pattern that complements the surrounding decor. This tranquil environment allows visitors to unwind and appreciate the natural beauty that Virginia Woolf once cherished.
Despite its secluded ambiance, La Loggia is just moments away from the vibrant heart of St Ives. Guests can explore the town’s winding streets, discover local art galleries, browse boutiques, and savor delicious meals at nearby eateries. The pristine Porthminster Beach, recognized with a Blue Flag Award, is only a 13-minute walk from the cottage. For those inspired by the artistic heritage of the area, a visit to the iconic Tate St Ives Art Gallery or the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden is highly recommended. It’s important to note that young children must be supervised outside due to the presence of the swimming pool and pond within the garden.
