Cape Town Villas with a view



By: Roberto Garabell

What a fantastic city. The Luxury Cape Town villas and hotels are lavish, opulent and brimming with creative design. There are few other cities in the world that can match our diverse tastes with regard to housing. Cape Town has numerous fantastic properties to choose from - including Llandudno, Clifton and Camps Bay, where there is always a room with a view and a view to suit you.

We begin our journey at Carpe Diem in Camps Bay. Situated on the slopes of the mountain, Carpe Diem is most likely the grandest villa in all of Cape Town. Designed by world renowned architectural firm, Arthur Quinton, this lavish home sits on a 1700 square meter double plot, with 360 degree views of the mountain and the bright, blue sea. This home is located at the back end of the Twelve Apostles Nature Reserve, with acres of forest beckoning to be explored. Carpe Diem of Camps Bay features five massive en suite bedrooms, of which four have sea facing views. It also boasts a stunning garden, double space garage, air conditioned living areas and all the technical gadgets you would come to expect from a six million dollar home. Sadly, it is a far walk to the beach from up on high, but who needs the beach when the view is right inside your home?

For a villa closer to the beach [in fact, right on it] we present the Glen Beach. The Glen beach villa is akin to a miniature Cape Town luxury hotel, with a 24/7 room service which will trick you into believing that you a Hollywood movie star. This is the Camps Bay beach house and the only one positioned right next to the beach itself. No cost has been spared. Four enormous bedrooms all with sea facing views let you float on the ocean as you fall asleep. Air conditioning, wooden balconies and private TV rooms keeps your guests and you smiling all the way to the bank [where your account will be emptied in a second upon purchase]. The fireplace is gas-powered, the pool is heated and there is an outdoor/indoor shower for guests and owner equally. Flat screen TVs and a Koi pond round off an amazing home, fit for a king.

Inland, we find the Constantia Hotel, located in the heart of Cape Town and one of the top luxury boutique hotels in Cape Town. This snazzy hotel will delight your senses as well as opening its arms and welcoming you into its comforting fold. The hotel has only six bedrooms in total which ensures that you will feel like a privileged guest whenever you decided to stay at The Constantia. And as an honoured guest, your own private Cape Town tour guide will introduce you to the hidden wonders and secret treasures of Cape Town’s golden mile. Speaking of exclusivity, once you have finished your night on the town, a private chauffeur will pick you up and deliver you to the hotel, so there is no need to worry about securing a taxi at 3 in the morning. The rooms themselves are a discerning combination of baroque stylings mixed with a splash of innovative architectural decisions. No trip to one of Cape Town’s luxury hotels is complete without a visit to The Constantia.

Johannesburg may boast the wealth and Durban may boast the weather, but Cape Town is without a doubt the best place in South Africa to come to for fine-dining, first-rate residences and the best in luxury vehicles. Whatever you do in life, come down south and hire or purchase a Cape Town Villa, the ultimate definition of enjoyable, exciting urban chic.
