Allow yourself to be transported by the “dolce farniente” ambiance of this mediterranean escape in the Cape Winelands. An unexpected bohemian oasis set among old plum orchards with majestic views of the Drakenstein and Simonsberg mountains.

The villa is a spacious and stylishly restored Spanish revival folly. It weaves together soulful elements of the owner’s childhood years in a Freestate farm house with the artistic, Mediterranean mélange of her time spent in Italy and France.

The villa’s dining room opens up onto lawns lined with bougainvillea that tumble towards the swimming pool.

This area is exclusively for villa guests while the pool and lower lawns, as well as the orchards beyond, are shared with the cottages tucked away at the far end of the garden.
