Magnificent views from both sides of each of the bedroom suites are through tall glass windows of the valley below and craggy mountain peaks behind, so there are times when it’s hard to imagine that you’re a mere 20-30 minutes’ from the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Cape Town. But that’s just what the owners intended: Villa Verte was imagined as a retreat that would allow guests to fully appreciate the beauty of the surrounding landscape. An escape. A place to recharge the soul.
Villa Verte’s 4 cantilevered bedroom suites were designed to incorporate the surrounding landscape, with sweeping views of the expansive mountains and sky from every room. It is yours to share with loved ones for holidays and special celebrations, to further business ventures, brainstorm with colleagues or to reconnect and to rejuvenate your soul. Tranquillity is key here on this private estate and architect Thomas Leach has created a truly exceptional design that’s sensitive to the surrounding forest and mountain peaks above the valley of Hout Bay.
Striking wallpapers were chosen for each suite and each one is named after local plants or flowers. Taking its cue from the name Villa Verte, green and the colours of nature are the overriding theme throughout. Curves and circles were used as nothing in nature is square or rectangular, even in its most cellular form. The owners love everything that the circle represents: equality, inclusivity, unity, sustainability and, of course, the circle of life.
