We booked Villa Romantica for a 2 night stay as part of our holiday. What a complete disappointment. The entrance hall is run down, pocky and stinks terribly. Our accommodation was on the basement level, where you need to negotiate an incredibly small and steep staircase. I had specifically phoned to check if they can accommodate children to which the...

We stayed in the Al Villa Romantic for five nights and spent four of them in the Torino suite. I'd thoroughly recommend booking this apartment as it has fabulous views over Camps Bay and Table Mountain. The owner, Paul, is a great host and is extremely accommodating. His staff are very helpful, providing a good hearty breakfast and an excellent... More

On arrival just before 6pm, we were unable to enter for several minutes as no one answered the doorbell or our knocking. We finally entered with the assistance of a returning guest (with... More

Stayed for three nights, had a warm welcome by the owner (Paul). Really liked the room, very decent rate (especially for Camps Bay), breakfast was very good and plenty. Would definitely come again.

We stayed for a week in the Torino suite. It was very large and beautifully furnished. The views from the bedroom and lounge/kitchen were directly over the Bay - stunning, especialy at sunset. It was very well kept by the cheerful and helpful maids who cleaned every day. The balcony was the only one with recliners out for sunbathing, again... More
