This Villa is absolutley fantastic - is in a very secure safe area. It is very centrally based for sight seeing around the Cape, it is also very sheltered from wind - garden is a sun trap. It has the most fabulous views over mountains and the ocean. You would need a car as area is very hilly - road networks are very good and easy to navigate. Somerset West is by far one of the best areas that we visited. The Villa is extremely clean, is fully equipped with everything you need for your stay, the owner has gone to alot of effort. Cape Town is approx 1/2 hour away, would recommend a visit to Cape Of Good Hope, Hermanus (you will definately see whales during season they are abundant!), V & A Waterfront, Table Mountain and the vineyards (we visited Spier Vineyard which is fantastic) there is so much to see and do - would definately recommend this Villa.
