Constantia Villas

Cradled between the back slopes of Table Mountain and the Constantiaberg mountain range, the fertile valley of Constantia is one of the oldest and most exclusive suburbs in Cape Town: Constantia.

Defined by country avenues lined with rambling old oak trees, sweeping multi-coloured vineyards and sublime mountain views, Constantia is a much sought-after address and only a 15-minute drive from the city centre but its leafy nature lends it a semi-rural ambience.

The area is perhaps most famous as the birthplace of South Africa’s wine industry, as a visit to the historic homestead Groot Constantia as well as other lovingly restored wine estates will reveal. Many still produce internationally recognised wines and offer tastings, cellar tours, excellent restaurants and spectacular views not to mention weddings and private functions.

But it’s not all vineyards and mountain views: the sophisticated and central Constantia Village shopping complex lies at the heart of the area and offers a wealth of chic eateries, coffee shops, and upmarket clothing, jewellery, banking facilities and lifestyle stores conveniently close to our Constantia villa accommodation.

And besides the good life, it’s the perfect area for active, outdoor living. Besides easy access to the ‘Back Table’ of Table Mountain and its many hiking trails, lush greenbelts snake through the valley creating rambling trails for walking, jogging and horse riding. There is a large sports complex near the shopping complex which comes complete with an international-standard gym and tennis courts.

Constantia private accommodation gives you the chance to take full advantage of this tucked-away suburb. Close enough to be part of Cape Town’s city vibe yet far enough out of town to mean that you’re woken by bird song rather than traffic, accommodation in Constantia is in the form of grand, historic Cape Dutch houses as well as sprawling contemporary mansions complete with expansive gardens, tennis courts and swimming pools, making ideal family villa accommodation.

Serviced, well-designed and beautifully appointed, our Constantia portfolio of holiday rentals offers the discerning visitor some of the best and most elegant living in Cape Town.
