Beautiful Mediterranean Villa ..but always home from home. Safe..private on an exclusive estate set in 1 hectare. Nestled amongst some South Africas premier Wine Estates and Wedding Venues. Set in Private Gardens surrounded by olives vines and The Simonsberg mountains in the Franschhoek Valley. Exquisite views 24 hour security. Crystal clear swimming pool. A little bit of Tuscany in the Winelands.
Just love everything about my life and what I do. Love making my visitors welcome and sharing and appreciating this wonderful country.
In the heart of the Winelands...so MUCH to see eat and drink....swim and relax...and just BE.
