I cannot begin to say enough good things about An African Villa! If you are looking for a friendly, safe and lovely boutique hotel in Cape Town, this is it.

A truly wonderful hotel, with helpful friendly staff, a relaxed atmosphere, chic decor, gorgeous rooms, delicious breakfasts and a sun trap pool. The whole thing is presided over by two charming, serious looking dachshunds. We loved it!
