Little Italy
Pros:

Really enjoyed the whole Italian style. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful. We walked a little way down to one of the pools where chairs and tables were set out. The place is known for its functions, so we couldn't sit at the bar due to a private function and were referred to the Cielo Cafe. There we enjoyed delicious cocktails under the trees. Their drinks list is extensive. The food was incredibly delicious, as was the breakfast the next morning.

A fantastic space
Pros:

It feels like you have been whisked away to a different space, Italian village streets. But you are still in South Africa.

From the minute you arrive to when you leave you become part of the Avianto family, the staff without exception are brilliant.

Breakfast is an event you need to dedicate time to because the range of food is pretty immense. Colourfully curated

Lovely gardens and feel to the place. Definitely coming back!

A stunning property on the outskirts of the buzzing city of Joburg. You get the feel and aesthetic of being in Italy. It’s picturesque and beautiful, with a lot of greenery.

Pros:

Hiking Trail

Cons:

The pool was dirty.
The TV was poor quality
Limited menu, some of the things you would order the staff would say it's not available because some machine is not working
Rude staff, no sense of urgency from anyone. We asked for certain things and the staff would dissappear especially the kitchen staff at cafe cielo.
The kiddies playground is a health and safety hazard. Many of the equipment not in good condition.
The rooms floors are old, there's many equipment such as as the steam iron and some hair dryer that's impractical because you can't use them
The place is deteriorating and they are using old pictures to lure people.
