Castello di Monte

Perched in Waterkloof Ridge in Pretoria’s business district, this Tuscan-style 5-star bed & breakfast is minutes from Pretoria Country Club, Brooklyn Mall and Waterkloof Golf Club. Easy access to the University of Pretoria and nearby embassies makes it a smart pick for both leisure and business stays.

A luxe Tuscan estate with landscaped gardens, mature olive trees and lavender that make you forget the city. Nine individually decorated rooms range from a presidential suite with a four-poster bed and fireplace to a honeymoon suite with hand-painted murals. Rooms feature minibars, plasma/DSTV, underfloor heating or air-conditioning and deep soaking tubs or whirlpool options—wake up to olive-scented mornings on the panoramic deck.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, unwind in the sauna and steam room or book a massage. Take in city views from the rooftop terrace and relax in extensive gardens. Two bars and a lobby lounge keep evenings lively, and a complimentary breakfast is included; room service is available during limited hours.

Complimentary wireless internet in rooms and public areas, fax/photocopying and daily housekeeping make work easy. Concierge services, multilingual staff, dry cleaning/laundry and airport or train pick-up (for a surcharge) are available.

On-site restaurant serves breakfast and main meals; two bars/lounges are perfect for cocktails or a nightcap. Complimentary morning breakfast is included to kick off your Pretoria days.
