Set up above Constantia, this light and airy villa commands truly magnificent south-facing views down the Constantiaberg and across to False Bay, so that the experience of staying here is like being in a wonderful country retreat. Inside there are beautiful paintings, dark wood furniture, and white linens and curtains that make the best of High Constantia's bright sunlight, while the bar room opens directly onto the villa's swimming pool and sun terrace. Whether you simply want to unwind or are tempted to visit the famous wineries just down the hill - or, just twenty minutes away, Cape Town's vibrant restaurants and nightlife - you can be assured of returning to an oasis of elegant calm.
