About

Vane Tower, Torquay

Rising above Torquay's coastline, Vane Tower is one of the English Riviera's most distinctive holiday homes. This historic landmark combines striking architecture, fascinating heritage and spectacular views across Torbay, creating a truly memorable setting for a luxury coastal escape.

Originally built as part of Villa Lugano, a grand residence inspired by the elegant villas of Lake Lugano in northern Italy, Vane Tower enjoys an elevated position overlooking the bay and surrounding Devon countryside. Today, this beautifully restored property offers stylish accommodation for up to 12 guests, making it ideal for family gatherings, celebrations and group getaways.

Set within private grounds, guests can enjoy panoramic sea views, landscaped gardens, a spacious terrace for outdoor dining and a six-person hot tub overlooking the coast. Whether relaxing in the sunshine or watching the lights twinkle across Torbay after dark, the setting is nothing short of spectacular. 

Inside, Vane Tower has been thoughtfully redesigned by renowned interior designer Bita De Laurentiis, blending colourful Italian influences with contemporary comfort. Generous living spaces, elegant entertaining areas and individually styled bedrooms create a unique atmosphere throughout the property, while large windows frame ever-changing views of the English Riviera.

The location is equally impressive. Torquay's bustling harbour, waterfront restaurants, boutique shops and beaches are all within easy reach, while the South West Coast Path offers miles of breathtaking coastal walks directly from the doorstep. Popular attractions including Torre Abbey, Kents Cavern and locations associated with Agatha Christie are all nearby, making Vane Tower an excellent base for exploring the wider English Riviera.

Steeped in local history, Vane Tower has welcomed notable visitors throughout its lifetime and even served as a Home Guard lookout during the Second World War. Today, it stands as one of Torquay's most remarkable places to stay, offering guests the chance to experience a unique piece of Devon heritage in exceptional comfort.
