Soggiorno Signorile
Pros:

L’hotel è in pieno centro a Stellenbosch . Una bella città. Struttura elegante e ristrutturata in stile moderno.

Cons:

L’odore del cibo della cucina che entrava in camera. Ma soprattutto che non si potesse aumentare la temperatura indipendentemente. In agosto è inverno e fa freddo. Dover dipendere dal vallet per la gestione del parteggio dell’auto.

Fab location and stunning boutique hotel
Pros:

A real step up: a beautiful colonial style hotel right in the centre of Stellenbosch, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Rooms were spacious, breakfast was superb, and allergies were handled excellently, with staff proactively flagging what was safe to eat. Felt safe and well lit at night nearby, though staff advised there’s a point beyond which it’s best not to walk after dark.
