Shopping in St Ives
From books to jewellery to freshly made food, shopping in St Ives is a Cornish tradition thanks to the cobbled streets and independent shops that line them.
Light and airy second floor apartment with oak floors, original artwork and contemporary furnishings, Azure overlooks Porthmeor beach and the Tate Gallery, sharing its incredible view. From the stylish interior and enclosed balcony, panoramic views over St Ives, Porthmeor beach and across to Godrevy can be enjoyed. The Galleries are perfectly situated just a short walk from the harbour front and Porthmeor beach.
PLEASE NOTE: There are two projects taking place within Godrevy Gardens, which is on the land opposite. There is a tall scaffolding structure up, covered in sheeting, which does impact the views from the property. The projects are expected to take place through to Easter 2026 with activities seen, heard, and felt throughout the duration. The owner is offering 10% off all 2024 stays for any disruption caused. Please contact the customer services team for more information and photos.

From the moment we stepped into the Azure apartment at Porthmeor The Galleries, we knew we were in for a treat. Nestled in the heart of St Ives, Cornwall, this holiday let is a gem that boasts fantastic amenities, a prime location, and breathtaking views.
The cleanliness of the apartment was impeccable, making it a comfortable and inviting space to return to after a day of exploring. Despite the presence of scaffolding outside, our holiday remained undisturbed; the builders were as silent as if they weren’t there at all.
But what truly sets the Azure apartment apart are the spectacular sunsets. Each evening was an exhibition of nature’s splendour, with vibrant hues painting the sky, visible from the comfort of our temporary home.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or a base for your Cornish adventures, Porthmeor The Galleries - Azure is an outstanding choice that promises an unforgettable stay.

The apartment was great it was clean and well equipped with everything you would need
The view is amazing and is well worth the walk up the hills
The secure parking is a bonus and also the lift
The building work opposite was not a problem
Would definitely recommend to family and friends, next time in St Ives I will definitely stop here again

With a beachside cafe boasting panoramic sea views and a popular surf school catering to all abilities, the sheltered cove of Porthmeor has all you need for fun-filled beach days, plus the bustling heart of St Ives and the iconic harbour is just a short walk away. Relax and enjoy the view from one of our many self-catering beach-front apartments in this delightful corner of St Ives. You can plan your beach days by checking our Porthmeor beach webcam.
Porthmeor means 'large cove' in Cornish?

Thank you for your feedback - we are making guests aware of the current work taking place opposite Porthmeor The Galleries - Azure, as this does impact those lovely sea views. This project is meant to continue until 2026, so it is a temporary obstruction, but we will keep all guests who are booked to stay in the area updated with any new information we aquire. Katy, Customer Services.

This was our third stay at Azure. The apartment is clean, warm and comfortable with probably the best views in St Ives. It's up a steep hill whichever way you go, as is much of St Ives. As has been mentioned before, the garage door could be a challenge, but there is nothing can be done about that. You can unload your car in the garage as there is a door to the lobby and where the lift is situated. There is building work going on opposite but this did not cause us any issues or noise, although I know that can change. We will no doubt be back at some point. A lovely apartment all round.

Welcome back to Azure! We are pleased you had another lovely stay enjoying those stunning views. Thank you for letting us know about your difficulties with the garage door, we have previously informed the management company for the building about this and will continue to chase this up. It's great to hear that you were not disturbed by the nearby building project, the builders working are very conscious of the residential area around the site. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Katy, Customer Services.

Overall the flat is very good and any disadvantages there may be (which are very few) are outweighed by one of the best views in St Ives
Mrs Cridland Nov 2023
This apartment was great. It is in an amazing location-just 3 minutes to Fore Street or 3 minutes to Porthmeor beach and it has amazing views ( as at September 2023 )
Mrs King Sep 2023
Quite steep hills to get up to the apartment but the views make it all worthwhile. The apartment was very nice.
Mr Coles Aug 2023
A lovely two weeks at Azure, fantastic views of beaches and harbour and just a short walk into town. Hope to return next year
Mr Madner Jul 2023
Excellent apartment with wonderful views. Comfortable and spacious. Good parking under the property too.
Mr Hare Jun 2023
Best views in St Ives. 5 Minutes walk from a fabulous beach and 5 minutes from the harbour and shops. Easy to get to by car without getting caught in town centre traffic. W are biased having been before and will certainly be going again.
Mrs Cridland May 2023
This is our second visit to Azure. It is a lovely apartment with great views over Porthmeor and of the town and harbour. I doubt there are better views over St Ives than from this apartment. Very well decorated with some lovely art work. Not a lot of storage in the kitchen. No empty spare cabinets. Beds are comfortable. Cleaned to a satisfactory standard. Parking is great but the garage door can be tricky. You need to be able to unlock it at ground level and then lift it up with both hands with a bit of strength. There is a lift just off the garage area so you can unload down there. We would certainly return to this apartment.

We are glad that you had another enjoyable stay at this property. You certainly do get some great views from there. Thanks for your helpful comments. All feedback is automatically sent to owners for their consideration. The communal external areas are the responsibility of a block management company, who had been informed about the difficulty of the garage door previously. We will keep nagging them in the hope that they do something to make this a little easier to use soon. Thanks again and we hope to see you back again soon. Tanya, Customer Services
A great place with amazing views, very comfortable and well equipped. Brilliant location. The car park underneath is great and the lift a good help. (Sliding door does need attention as very stiff and fiddly to lock/unlock.)

Thanks for your feedback and we are glad that you enjoyed your time here. We will pass on this information to the management company who are responsible for the communal area maintenance. Thanks for letting us know. Tanya, Customer Services
This location is to be recommended. The location, facilities including car parking make this a very attractive holiday destination
Mrs Cridland Nov 2022
A great apartment in a wonderful location.
Mr Ennever Oct 2022
We love the location, it's the best place to view all of St.Ives: beaches, town and harbour. The parking space below the appartement is a plus, parking in St. Ives is usually a problem. We will return.
Mr Hohwieler Jul 2022
Really perfect apartment. We have stayed there before. Aspects organisation is professional, efficient and friendly. Thank you!
Mr Hare Jun 2022
Wonderful stay in lovely, comfortable apartment. Panoramic views are amazing from all windows. We will be back next year. Only negative about it is the garage, take care not to get locked in as opening the garage door from inside is difficult.
Mrs Soden Jun 2022
Azure is a dream ?? the views are stunning, being able to see both ends of porthmeor, the harbour & porthminster from windows, is just magical ? So lovely to have 2 bathrooms & a bit of a luxury to have a dishwasher & a lift to use No issues at all with garage or parking, really easy & so convenient I would like to add that the building work isn't an issue at all, the builders were super friendly & considerate, they didn't start work till 8am which was perfect for getting us up & about, not wasting the morning, not even that much noise anyway. We like to stay somewhere different every time visiting St Ives but we will 100% stay here again Thanks Aspects ??
Miss Hicks May 2022
The view over the town is quite the best available, well worth the price of the steep hill climb up to The Galleries.
The garage door is rather stiff and cannot be pulled up from the inside. Be careful you don't get locked in the garage; the back door to the bin area can be opened from within without a key if you do!
The builders opposite are considerate and polite and were there from 7.45am in February. It was fascinating to watch this long derelict land being prepared for a new build.

Thank you for letting us know about the garage door. We will pass that information straight on to the management company who are responsible for maintaining the communal areas of this building. And we are glad to hear that the builders are still being very considerate. We are glad that you enjoyed those beautiful views; they certainly are a great reward for the walk back to the property after a fun day of exploring; we are glad you liked it. Tanya, Customer Services
We loved the apartment it was great, views as expected, warm and cozy. It will be interesting to see what happens with the building works in front. We would definitely return.

Thanks for your review. We are glad that you liked it here. From the information that we have been given, it is a large project that will be ongoing for a while and anyone impacted by this has been notified, and if anything changes, we will keep guests informed. It certainly won't be affecting views from Azure due to the land being on a significant slope. The height of the new building is due to be just above the road level. Thanks again for your comments and hopefully we will see you back here again soon. Tanya, Customer Services
Fantastic week at 4 The Galleries! Apartment was perfect, clean with lots of natural light & all the amenities needed, brilliant views over the beach & St Ives. Walking distance to everything needed. Having the parking space was great as parking very limited everywhere else. Would recommend The Seafood Cafe in town, great lunch in there. Great pizza at little place far end of Porthmeor Beach too. Would recommend this place to anyone & would certainly book again when next visiting! ??
Mrs Noakes Sep 2021
Enjoyed a lovely week at this property. Views are stunning from every window. Property very well equipped. Really good to be able to park the car. Would definitely return here.
Mr Smith Jun 2021
Lovely apartment with probably the best views in St Ives. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Very quiet and in a great location. Nice and warm and comfortable. Would certainly go again. Parking was a great bonus, although the roller shutter garage door could be a challenge to some. A lovely apartment which I would book again.
Mr Foley Jun 2021
Excellent week here and the views are outstanding. The kitchen is well equipped and the apartment was very clean. Just be careful with the lock on the garage door - it was difficult to open - especially from the inside.
However - we would definitely stay again (and we are very fussy).
Mr Fletcher Nov 2020
Well appointed flat in a good location just minutes from everything along with stunning views from all rooms.
Mr Ward Oct 2020
Amazing 2 weeks in this fabulous apartment is St Ives. The views from all the large windows in all the rooms is second to none and the sunsets from the living room were stunning. The apartment is very light and airy and has all the amenities you need from the much needed undercover car park space to a fully kitted out kitchen and comfy beds. It was also spotlessly clean and was very quiet, no traffic noise or noisy neighbours and a perfect base for exploring beautiful St Ives and surrounding area or just sitting and watching the comings and goings in the harbour and beaches. Would definitely recommend this place and have already re booked for next year. Thankyou Aspects for a lovely much needed holiday in these difficult times
Mrs Hammond Aug 2020
an excellent property for the family in a great location
Mr Gregory Oct 2019
View was beautiful and was very clean.
Miss Harvey Aug 2019
Outstanding views. It was a delight to sit in chairs in living room and observe the changing sky and tides.
Mrs Ross Apr 2018
This flat is in a fabulous location; fabulous views of nearly all the beaches, and very close to the town centre.
Mr Currah Feb 2018
A lovely apartment in a great setting
Mrs Thompson Oct 2017
This was absolutely amazing, thank you so much. The apartment was absolutely spotless, had everything you could think of. Communication with Aspects was perfect and we were provided with the information we needed. We are looking at dates already to re book this apartment again for next year.
Ms Singh Jun 2017
Stunning views from every angle. Beautiful clean, modern apartment in very quiet residential area. A 5 minutes walk into the quaint old town. Everything within a short walk.....beach, cliff walks, restaurants. What more could you ask for?
Ms Taylor May 2017
Wonderful views of St. Ives, down and across the town, over the harbour and up to the island. The side views over the beach were awesome, no need for a TV just watch the life outside. Modern, clean and airy apartment with all mod cons. Loved the under floor heating in the bathroom and the locker downstairs for beach stuff. Quiet neighbours and no traffic, perfect.
Mrs Dixon Aug 2016
This apartment provides comfort, convenience and views to die for whatever the weather, but when you get blue skies and sunshine it is perfection.
Ms Stark May 2016
The location was fantastic with both beach and town just minutes away. It's elevated position gives the most amazing views of the Harbour and Porthmeor Beach but not so high up the hill for returns to the apartment to be too arduous! Tastefully appointed with comfortable beds and great showers, we couldn't ask for any better.
Mrs Way Feb 2016
Fantastic apartment great panoramic views and close to all amenities a real gem
Mrs Welsh Aug 2015
Probably the best views in St Ives.
