Although this home is located in the trendy Cape Town neighbourhood of De Waterkant, parts of it wouldn't look out of place in the Tuscan countryside – we're talking about the rustic stone walls, wooden windows and the plant-covered courtyard complete with its own working water feature in particular. However, head up to the pair of roof terraces and you'll be in no doubt that you're in the South African capital. From these charming spaces, you can gaze out over the city's rooftops and the peak of Signal Hill while dining alfresco or soaking up the sunshine. Back inside, we challenge anybody not to fall for the high ceilings and the copious amounts of natural light from the huge windows. There's plenty of character in the interior design too, from the antique-style furnishings and eclectic artwork to the cast iron clawfoot bathtub that's practically begging for an uninterrupted soak at the end of a productive day. And it's certainly easy to get a lot of sightseeing under your belt from this central location. Local De Waterkant is known for its cobbled streets full of cafes and creative energy, but the bigger museums and shops of the city centre can be reached...Read more easily on foot, too. A little further afield, both Table Mountain and Camps Bay Beach are only a short drive away when the sun makes an appearance in the sky.Read less
