What Is Different About our Pretoria Accommodation?

 

Unlike in the UK and Europe, South Africa has very few castles, but we do have Castello di Monte, a grand villa of castle-like proportions, which is authentically built, finished, and furnished in equally grand Tuscan style.

 

European castles were designed as imposing homes for nobles and royalty, and also used for offensive or defensive purposes. Our Castello di Monte is used to welcome, host, and accommodate our guests for events, such as wedding parties, conferences, and those who wish to enjoy indulgent, luxurious accommodation in a peaceful, opulent location.

 

The Setting

 

Our Castello is majestically set on a ridge in the prestigious Pretoria suburb of Waterkloof Ridge, overlooking the other hills and suburbs of this city, famous for the Jacaranda blossoms that turn the city purple in October. Castello di Monte estate’s own gardens are planted with mature olive trees and glorious, blooming bushes of lavender, enhancing the Tuscan spirit, essence, and ambience of the magnificent villa.

 

Grand, Multi-Functional 5-Star Guest House

 

As a 5 star guest house, Castello di Monte is quite different from the norm in Pretoria, where guests who seek accommodation are typically accommodated in the hosts’ home, in which certain amenities are shared between both parties. Guests may rent and occupy rooms/suites or the entire villa, giving Castello di Monte a distinct, distinguished edge over usual guest houses found here and in the rest of South Africa.

Visitors to Castello may choose any of our individual room options:

 

• Classic room – from 30 square metres
