Vomero Holiday Apartments
Map & Directions
Road Directions
From M5 take A380 and then A3022 towards Torquay. On arrival in Torquay, follow signs for the seafront and not the town centre. When you reach the seafront, turn left and follow the road past the Princess Theatre and harbour on your right. At the clock tower roundabout bear left towards Babbacombe. Stitchill Road is the fifth turning on the left hand side. Vomero is the last house on the left hand side of Stitchill Road. We advise you take the driveway past the `Vomero` sign. www.vomero.co.uk
