The mountains loom above and the sea stretches out below at Valtameri. Inspired by both Scandinavian and African design traditions, this Cape Town vacation rental has beautiful indoor and outdoor living spaces to take in the views. Spend your holiday relaxing on the patio with a glass of local wine, strolling or surfing at nearby Camps Bay or Clifton beaches, or exploring the city center. Behind its gate, Valtameri has lush gardens, a sunny, private terrace dotted with lounge chairs and a pool ready to welcome guests. After a swim, rinse off in the al-fresco shower, heat up the barbecue and sit down to the al-fresco dining area for a meal with views of the Atlantic. On cooler evenings, pour a glass from the wine fridge, flip on the sound system and cozy up to the wood-burning fireplace with family or friends. This luxury property is laid out around an open-plan great room with living and dining areas and a fully equipped kitchen. When the weather is warm, open the space to the terrace by folding back the glass wall and enjoy the ocean breeze from a seat on the plush sectional or around the sleek glass-topped dining table. High-gloss flat-fronted cabinets, stainless steel appliances and a blue-gray backsplash give the kitchen minimalist modern appeal. Valtameri has three bedrooms with king beds—two with en-suite bathrooms and one with a hall bath—and two bedrooms with queen beds and en-suite bathrooms. Like the main living areas, the bedrooms draw inspiration from both Nordic style and South African tradition, with neutral tones, clean lines and vibrant artwork. A location in the upscale suburb of St. James makes it easy to explore both the natural scenery of Cape Town and the city’s thriving urban center. Make the short drive to the suburbs of Clifton and Camps Bay for honeymoon-worthy oceanfront dining or a day on their world-class white-sand beaches. It’s just a bit farther to the center of Cape Town, where you’ll find great dining, unique shopping and lively nightlife. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.
