Mario is just great and the breakfast is 10 out of 10

We travel a lot and Villa Adalbert is one of the most neat and clean establishments that we ever stayed at. Mario is a very pleasant host. He knows the nearby wine farms well and offered many tips on what to see and do. I can just confirm what other reviews already say - we had a very delicious breakfast with many options to choose from - excellent hot and cold breakfast choices. We will definitely stay again when in the area - it is a great choice for accommodation in Somerset West, close to the Strand and even close enough to Stellenbosch. The garden is also lovely and well taken care of.

Lovely breakfast experience in a peaceful and chic-designed garden or in the romantic gazebo overlooking the beautiful property, pool and garden; an incredible savoury and appetising food prepared by Mario - you can choose from a variety of food options.

It was our third time at Villa Adalbert so we already knew what to expect. But yet again we were overwhelmed by the beauty of this house and the hospitality of Mario. Every little detail of this place is kept to perfection and spotlessly clean! The room and bathroom are decorated with loads of style and taste and we found everything you might want from that carafe of sherry on the side table to the pocket umbrella for the very rare Capetonian shower! The garden is a provencal dream come true with its hedges and lavender and we absolutely loved that intense scent of Jasmin in one corner at night. The breakfast is absolutely unrivaled and you choose when and where to have it served. We found a piece of decoration art on our plates every morning! Mario keeps his business small enough to be able to pay close and personal attention to every single visitor himself and does it with utmost friendliness and professionally. One notices immediately that he loves what he's doing and that shows throughout. Thank you again for a fantastic stay!

How warm and friendly the proprietor was. He really took a personal interest in our well being

That we could not stay longer

The grounds are perfectly fashioned & beautifully kept, the buildings are smart, well-maintained & contain high-quality furniture & fittings.

Having to leave!

A place where time stops. Wonderful gardens, wonderful hosts, wonderful breakfast places, indeed wonderful is the word to describe Villa Adalbert. The breakfast, tasty, colorful, different every day. Made with care. Room is spacious, with a huge bed that has really comfortable mattress, and also there are multiple types of pillows from which you can pick so that your sleep is perfect. Design, you can see the pictures. Everything is really clean inside and outside. On the small terrace in front of the room there is a relaxing hammock. I am really pleased with what I found here and I truly recommend.

Extraordinary place, where I’ve been warmly welcomed by Mario, the property\s manager. The whole property is stunning, an oasis of green and tranquility. I wish I would have spent more time in their beautiful gardens. My room was super spacious, everying very qualitative and nicely decorated. You can ask for a specific type of pillow and this was a big plus for me, because I am very picky about it and I cannot sleep good if it s not comfortable enough. I had the sweetest sleep of all :) . The pictures are saying more than what I can describe. The best experience I have ever had. Thank you, Mario for you hospitality!

The stay at this guesthouse was wonderful and did stroke my soul. The owner has an exceptional sense of letting you feel welcomed, at home. Thousands of details are looked for, cared for and the whole place is in an excellent condition, garden, pool, suites. It is a feeling like being in paradise. The breakfast is so delicious and looks like a painting of an artist. I want to go back as soon as possible.

Mario did everything possible to make our stay perfect from check in to check out. Welcome drink individually prepared, guided tour of the property, exceptional neat and comfortable property, manicured gardens with so many options to relax in and the quality of service and accomodation were of the highest standards! Sparkling clean, unbelievable attention to detail, superb interior decor, great eye for design, friendly & efficient staff. The breakfast was the best comprehensive and scrumptious we ever had, and was presented as would be in a 5 star restaurant. So much so that we wondered whether Mario is a professional chef. In every way our expectations were exceeded and we wished we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back and we would highly recommend a stay at Villa Adalbert!

In the beautifully appointed suite every detail was chosen with care. The exquisite arrangement of 20 different fruit was a delight for all the senses!

The best breakfast ever! We are already three times at Villa Adalbert and it is getting always better on a very high level. Very professionally managed. For sure we will come back again.

The property is very beautiful ,classy ,luxury,very clean ,amazing garden . We had the best breakfast ever in the tower faceing the garden and next to the swimming pool .We were literally spoil by Mario with all the comfort ,attention ,kindness and dedication .Definitely when we will be back in Cape Town ,we will book Villa Adalbert

This property did exceed my expectations. I stayed in the lavender room (there are two more, completely different in style and taste). Cleanliness to the highest standards, attention to any little detail and best maintained garden ever. Also, best breakfast ever (do try poached eggs..) served where you want in one of the beautiful spots around the villa, some of them in the middle of garden. Classy swimming pool with the most comfortable sun beds I’ve tried, you can easily fall asleep after 1 minute. Last but not least: the owner (Mario) went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and helped on anything - I do mean anything. The all place is truly speechless and beyond the most demanding expectation.

N/A

I don't even know what to write about first, since this place is perfect and you will notice everywhere the attention given to every single detail. The rooms are really well arranged, spacious, extremely clean, with a really nice and pleasant design. People say that the best place to sleep is you home, but boy oh boy, here are some reaaaaally big and comfortable beds. Breakfast: delicious, delicious, delicious and very instagrammable :) . In the breathtaking gardens you can have breakfast, you can swim or just relax and enjoy the birds chirping. This place has it all and I’m really happy that I have discovered it!

Everything about Villa Adalbert is truly exceptional. The owner Mario is passionate about his business, and it shows in every minute detail of the accommodation, gardens, exquisite rooms, furnishings and breakfasts. A wonderful long weekend experience which made our stay all the better at this lovely guesthouse. We will highly recommend it to our friends, and will definitely stay there again when we are next in Cape Town. 10/10

We were warmly welcomed and pampered by Mario, the owner of the Villa Adalbert. His place is absolutely amazing and unique, just like a royal palace. The breakfast was first of all fresh, with eggs from their own chicken, very tasty and very good looking. Everything is high quality, from furniture to food and service. We were impressed by the gardens, which are like a green sanctuary surrounding the whole property, perfectly maintained. They are looking out of a magazine. We were feeling blessed to be able to stop for a while and enjoy the silence in the gardens. The shared spaces are very interesting organized, there is a place matching every mood or season :). You can see and feel the perfectionism of Mario in everything. Simply the best I’ve seen and experienced in my life. Thank you, Mario!

We loved absolutely everything about Villa Adalbert! A trully amazing guesthouse! The views, the magnificent gardens, the first-class accommodation, the attention-to -detail, the delicious and outstanding breakfasts prepared to perfection by Mario, and of course our fantastic hosts!

I was amazed at the hospitality and warmth I received from day one! This tranquil set up provided the comfort and peaceful environment! Everything in excellent working condition as it should be. Outstanding service, hospitality and friendlyness! The breakfast, simply awesome and delicious! Thank you! Till we meet again.
