Bella Riposa

Bella Riposa is a beautiful 5-bedroom, three-storey holiday villa located in the heart of Camps Bay with views of the Atlantic Ocean and Lions Head.

Space

There is ample entertainment space on the upstairs and downstairs terraces, with a private garden at the bottom of the property, large swimming pool, and wood-fired hot tub - perfect for a summer stay in Camps Bay. Natural sunlight floods the whole house, giving it a beautifully warm summer feel. The decor is neutral, fresh and white, adding to the ambience of space and tranquillity.

On the first level, you'll find 4 comfortable bedrooms and 2 bathrooms - 1 en-suite bathroom connected to the master bedroom and 1 family bathroom shared by the other bedrooms. The master bedroom has a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean, a large en-suite bathroom, and ample cupboard space. Bedroom 2, 3 and 4 share a family bathroom. The 5th bedroom is situated just off the dining area and boasts its own en-suite bathroom.

The upstairs area offers guests a fully equipped, newly renovated kitchen and comfortable dining area with glass stacking doors that open out onto the upper patio area. Here guests can enjoy an alfresco meal or sundowner while marvelling at the spectacular sea views.

The middle level has a spacious lounge area with TV and wood-burning fireplace.

The ground level hosts the entertainment area with its own full bathroom and shower. There is a pool table, comfy couches, and bar counter plus stackable doors that lead out to the pool deck and wood-fired hot tub area.

Please keep in mind this is an older Camps Bay home, lending itself to larger outdoor spaces which is a rarity in the area. This house is best suited to the unfussed traveller who would like a central base in Camps Bay with beautiful views from which to spend their days exploring the Mother City.

MyCiTi is Cape Town’s modern, scheduled bus service, and an easy way to get around the city. Current routes link the Airport and central Cape Town with Camps Bay and Clifton, all you need is your Myconnect card preloaded with money, which you can do at any MyCiti station or select retailer. Alternatively, one of the easiest ways to get around is by Uber. Just download the app on your smartphone, register, and start using it straight away.

Please search your app store for the following app = ESP – The Loadshedding App. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.
