We stayed 2 nights in the Tosca flat. Very well equipped with all you need and even a bit more. Lovely design, very good beds. We used the pool as well as the relaxing deck chairs. Very good breakfast with fresh fruit salat. And Liz and Carlo are just fantastic.

“Extraordinary.”
Everything was perfect. Liz and her husband are amazing hosts - so warm hearted and welcoming. We had the ‚La Boheme‘ room which was very spacious and well equipped. The breakfast was presented with love and soul. We felt like part of an South African / Italian family.

“One of the best places we have ever stayed at.”
Our stay at Villa Puccini was just perfect. Fantastic rooms - spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, fully equipped and perfect for relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Liz and Carlos were our hosts and they made our stay in Cape Town amazing by offering some really good recommendations! Liz also put on a great breakfast every morning with amazing food, table decorated with fresh flowers and candles - the setting was just sublime! We enjoyed our chats with Carlos every morning as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend Villa Puccini as a place to stay and Liz and Carlos as the best hosts ever! We will definitely be coming back.

“Wonderful stay in Cape Town, welcoming hosts”
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Puccini. The apartment is beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and located in a quiet, lovely residential area. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and we felt at home from the first moment. Liz and Carlo are incredibly warm and welcoming hosts who truly care about their guests. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely return on our next trip to Cape Town.
