Rent Villa Molteno South Africa
Holiday Home Rental Description
Welcome to the iconic Villa Molteno, a turn-of-the-century four-bedroom mansion set in the heart of the polished Oranjezicht neighbourhood in Cape Town. This exquisite villa accommodates up to seven guests in a harmonious blend of opulent comfort, timeless elegance and breathtaking views over the city and Table Mountain.
Stepping into the villa, guests are greeted by two airy and inviting living rooms which open onto an expansive patio flush with sofas and al fresco dining settings. The elegant interiors, which flow from lounge spaces to the cosy library-bar, are tastefully designed with a muted, almost monochromatic palette, and adorned with contemporary furnishings which shine in the floods of natural light streaming in from the large windows. Sink into plush sofas and immerse yourself in the warmth of the fireplace, creating a relaxed ambiance perfect for relaxation and long conversations.
Adjacent to the living area is the fully equipped kitchen where culinary enthusiasts can unleash their creativity. State-of-the-art appliances and ample counter space make meal preparation a joy, whether you’re whipping up a quick breakfast or preparing a holiday feast for friends and family.
Ascending the stairs reveals four meticulously designed bedrooms, each offering a unique atmosphere and stunning vistas. The two main bedrooms offer stunning city views and shared access to a central study, not to mention their own ensuites. Two further bedrooms share a bathroom and boast Table Mountain views.
The picturesque garden is anchored in either side by two giant conifers and at its centre the cool turquoise pool. A fully-kitted indoor gym on the ground level allows guests to get a sweat going before they dive into the refreshing water or enjoy a meal in one of the various al fresco garden nooks.
Villa Molteno oozes sophistication and classic charm, and as such promises an unforgettable stay in an unparalleled location.
