Having traveled the world for business and pleasure—bringing me multiple times to Europe, Asia, Africa and back home to America over the past year alone—I can honestly say that this boutique hotel is a real gem. Nestled in a lovely neighborhood in Pretoria, this Italianesque villa is home to pure serenity. Marleen, the general manager, and Ferdi at reception were... More

Built 11 years ago by somebody who had Randolph Hearst ambitions! Italianate and grand with lovely furnishings and mirrors throughout. Not quite my taste but a great sense of luxury for one night. We were upgraded to the Presidential Suite on arrival - a very nice touch - you could fit much of our house in it. His and hers... More

We stayed at Casstello for our aniversary and since our stay there I've been telling all my friends to go there as well, even if it is just for a weekend. It was so special and every need was catered for. Thank you so much Castello! We will definitely visit again.

If you are looking for a open rooftop with an incredible view of PTA, Castello di Monte is your place. My advice would be to check what time the sun sets on your date, and go 20 minutes before to catch it! That way you get both the day and night view of scenery.

We stayed there the night after our marriage. The staff was friendly and the service was good. We also had a lovely massage that afternoon. Awesome breakfast the following morning with a 360 view :) Francois Burger

Being from Tuscany, this was a trip back in time for me as I have rarely been back since arriving in SA 40 (gulp!) years ago. When it dawned on me that my 2nd wedding annisersary was coming up...I searched and found this place on the net. Less then an hour away from home it sounded perfect, so I booked... More

I stayed here for a week while in Pretoria for work. I thought the guesthouse was gorgeous and impeccably clean. I hate breakfast and dinner there everyday and the food was very good. The views inside and out are breaktaking. I would recommend Castello di Monte as the staff were friendly and very attentive. Great visit and work week thanks... More

We spent the first and last night of our holiday at this beautiful Villa in Pretoria. The service is personal and friendly and warm hospitality makes you feel right at home. The guesthouse is elegant and very comfortable with all the little details well though out. Its Tuscan Villa style and the fine attention to the period detail transport you... More
