9 Piazza was such a pleasant stay and right in the middle of all the action, inside the property was quiet enough to feel away from it all too. View from out the huge window were priceless, right on the beach.

The Tate is a must; something everyone should visit at least once, or simply relax and enjoy the view from one of our many self-catering beach-front apartments. Most of the town and all it has to offer is a level walk from Porthmeor, making it many of our guests' first choice of location. Many Porthmeor properties offer parking and most have superb beach views and balconies.

Held on the anniversary of the consecration of the Parish Church of St Eia in 1434 AD, Feast Day offers visitors to witness - and even join in with - some centuries-old traditions. A morning precesison led by the Mayor to bless the Well of St Eia. Following this, the Mayor will 'Hurls the Silver Ball' into a crowd of children who assemble on the beach below. The one who returns the ball to the Guildhall steps by midday receives a silver coin. In the afternoon the Mayor then throw pennies from the balcony of the Guildhall for children to collect.

Mr Evans Oct 2020
Had a relaxing week at 9 Piazza with fantastic views from the balcony. The apartment is comfortable, well equipped and ideally located for beaches and restaurants and shops. Car parking was a little tighter than we were expecting - not for the faint hearted !
Mr Ward Sep 2020
A friend recommended Aspect Holidays and thanks to him we booked in St. Ives. The apartment is very well equipped, the location perfect and the view stunning. The booking procedure and follow up was very professional and the team super friendly. Regarding the new situation with COVID-19 everything was handled very well.
Mrs Marquardt Aug 2020
Well equipped omfortable apartment with the added bonus of a storage cupboard on the balcony. The view from the balcony is what makes it worth the stay.

Mr Graham Jul 2020
The team at Aspects have nailed it! Real pros. Really friendly. Super helpful. The pre-arrival pack is awesome. Beautifully presented and a huge help when planning ahead for a seamless visit to the charming town of St Ives. And the property was breathtaking, comfortable, cosy, just perfect.
Mr Cook Mar 2020

Mrs Newall Jan 2020
We had a great Christmas break in this stylish and comfortable flat . It is in a spectacular position and we enjoyed watching surfers , dog walkers and sea from the panoramic window . Highly recommended
Mr Goalby Dec 2019
A wonderful property, with the most amazing sea view. We loved our stay there, so relaxing. It was great coming back to the apartment to sit on the balcony and watch the beach life go by. So close to everything in St Ives and still very quiet. Well equipped with everything you could need and thoughtful welcome touches.
Mrs Davies Nov 2019
Lovely property right on the beach with outstanding views. Car parking space will only accommodate a small car.
Mr Stones Sep 2019
Superb holiday combined with Art course in Porthmeor studios just next door.
Ms Bunting Sep 2019
Fantastic holiday in a beautiful apartment. First time we have booked with Aspects. Great friendly service. Have already booked for next year!
Miss Garner Jul 2019
Superb holiday, very accurate information given pre-holiday.
Mr Smith Jul 2019
Aspects staff are very helpful and go out there way to help you st Ives is a wonderful place were everyone would love to live never had a bad holiday there the weather has always been kind to us a very friendly place as are the people
Mr Phillips Jun 2019
When we first saw 9 Piazza advertised on Aspects web site, it said that the apartment was bespoke and had an excellent view and of course lots of photographs of the apartment and an explanation of the word bespoke. What we didn't expect was such a well equipped apartment and a really breathtaking view taking in Porthmeor Beach, what we believe is the best beach in St Ives. We have just completed our fourth year and have just booked for next year at 9 Piazza.
Mr Thompson May 2019
9 Piazza is a dream. For two people, the perfect place to stay in St Ives. The arrival experience (complimentary scones, jam and clotted cream, plus a lovely bottle of wine) is always such a lovely touch. Charming decor. So neat and freshly presented. Brilliant kitchen. Excellent shower. Breathtaking, mesmerising views of Porthmeor Beach. And so close to the heart of the gallery zone and harbour. Unbeatable. Thank you!
Mr Cook Mar 2019
Excellent location and amazing views, apartment is fully equipped with everything you could wish for and everything is of a very high standard, will definitely be back!
Miss Crannage Feb 2019
A beautiful apartment, well equipped and immaculate. The view is stunning even when the weather not so good. I saw sea birds diving, a daily visit by a very curious seal and best of all a pod of dolphins fishing and leaping. Wonderful. Close to all amenities, Tate St Ives and other galleries. A wonderful base for whatever you want to do or just sit on the veranda and watch the world go by. Stunning.
Mrs Anthony Mar 2018
Position, comfort and view.
Mr Cole Feb 2018
We love 9 Piazza - it starts our year with peace and comfort and of course the stunning beauty of Porthmeor beach when it is wild and empty!
Mr Webb Jan 2018
This is by far the best property we have stayed at in St Ives, the views are amazing with spectacular sunsets! The property is decorated beautifully and has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous beach holiday. We'll definitely be booking again!
Ms Pye Jun 2017
This is a brilliant place to stay
Mr Woolley Dec 2016
This property is wonderful!!!!! It is exactly as described. We could not have been more pleased. It was so much fun to wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night to the sound of the sea. The surfing was right in front of our balcony. You are a very quick walk to everywhere in St. Ives.
Mr Amaden Oct 2016
Very comfortable appartment in an idyllic location
Mrs Barton Oct 2016
I would highly recommend this property to anyone even if is only to sit on the balcony and watch the amazing sunsets while listening to the waves. Just book it
Ms Barnett Apr 2016
9 Piazza is a perfect little property in a stunning location - we didn't want to leave.
Mrs Field Apr 2016
Fabulous property full of charm with modern technology and lovely little details which made our stay comfortable and easy without detracting from the authenticity of being in St.Ives. The cream tea and bottle of wine waiting to welcome us were very much appreciated and we thoroughly enjoyed staying in such a lovely apartment.
Ms Richardson Apr 2016
"This was our second stay at 9 Piazza and we have already made a provisional booking for 2017. The apartment is beautiful in so many respects that it appears churlish to find fault. However, when standards are so high at number 9, the bed and bedding sadly are features that do seem below the owners very high expectations. The Tempur mattress results in a very hot bed as it does not appear to breathe, resulting in sleepers perspiring and becoming consequently uncomfortable. This is not helped by the provision of a poor quality man-made fibre quilt. If these areas could be reviewed by the owners, we, and others from notes in the visitors book, would be even more delighted with our stays at this idyllic apartment.
Mr Webb Jan 2016
Reply from Aspects Holidays
Thank you so much for your great comments, the owners of 9 Piazza are always really keen to hear guests thoughts on what would make the property even better for their guests. They had provided a TEMPUR® Cloud memory foam mattress as they believed that it would provide the very best comfort available, but as a result of your comments they have found a high quality Cool & Fresh Mattress Protector designed for memory foam beds that “regulates your temperature while you sleep and upgraded the winter duvet. They are hoping that these products will provide you with a more comfortable night’s sleep when you return. Tanya, Customer Services.
Excellent for everything Looking to return next year
Mrs Loftus Nov 2015
