We only had one night at the Villa Grande but did not experience any of the negative comments we read below. The reception was terrific, our room was spacious, internet was free, the bathroom was clean and huge, with a terrific shower. It was really nice the way it was set apart from the downtown area on a quiet cul-de-sac.... More

On a golfing holiday from the UK we based ourselves here for 8 nights. The B&B is located in Stellenbosch which is a lovely Cape Dutch town that welcomes tourists. Safe, clean, and classy. The local students are lively but there are so many bars and restaurants here that there's no problem finding a quiet place. The B&B was superb.... More

Villa Grande is a lovely B&B. It's located in a cozy neighborhood, just minutes away from the city centre on foot. Our room was quite spacious and comfortable, and the public spaces are aesthetically pleasing and well maintained. Our only complaint is that the staff forgot to switch on the hot water heater, and as a result, we didn't have... More

My first stay at Villa Grande was in 2002. I have been back every year. The guest house is located in a very quiet but central spot, the rooms tastefully decorated, breakfast in de dining room or outside in the garden is a wonderful experience and owner Neil is one of the most helpful and friendly guest house owners I...

I stayed four nights at Villa Grande and I am very enthousiastic about it. The place is great, a historic villa with all the ambiance that goes with it, and with all the modern luxuries. Breakfast at the terrace outside was phantastic. I recommend this place to anyone who wishes to visit Stellenbosch and/or make trips in the surrounding beautiful... More

All of Niel's team could not do enough to help us during our 4 night stay. Nothing was too much trouble and there was always time for a friendly chat. Niel and his team were always on hand. The rooms were spacious and clean - the bathrooms excellent. Don't let any previous reviews put you off staying at Villa Grande.... More

This was our third stay at Villa Grande and it will be our last. We had booked the honeymoon suite but as with our last trip, despite confirming and reconfirming our booking they had allowed another guest to stay an extra night and we arrived to find us moved to a lower room. They simply do not seem able to... More

We stayed the weekend at Villa Grande and wish we could have stayed longer. The staff was very helpful -- from making restaurant recomendations to helping hire cars when we needed to even passing messages between the different parties in our group when we went out separately. Breakfast each morning was always quite tasty, as was the chocolate and port... More

We stayed for one night and loved the Villa Grande. The staff was very helpful and gave terrific recommendations for dinner (Wijnhuis). Location was a quiet cul-de-sac four or five blocks from downtown. Breakfast was standard South African continental plus eggs, with a few nice extra touches. The inn itself is beautifully decorated, with marble stairs and classic but not... More
