Braganza is a fun and elegant example of Regency's splendour and Old World Charm. Situated on the hillside above St. Mawes, it sits in a spacious and private garden. This graded building was built around 1800 and overlooks the harbour with spectacular views to the bay and its surrounding hills.
What makes a stay at Braganza unique?
The building's name goes by the acquisition of the ship's captain, who once took the Braganza Royal Family across the Atlantic to Brazil. It's rumoured that Lord Byron once lived in the house and his surroundings, and that he wrote a poem 'Stanza for Braganza' – one of the gardens 'walks is by the name of Byron.
