Sweeping staircases, colonnaded terraces and red-tile roofs make Castello Di Monte a breath of Tuscan grandeur, nestled in landscaped gardens on a hill overlooking Pretoria. Elegant rooms are furnished in classic style, with dark woods and soft fabric colours, whilst the public areas afford wonderful views. Everything here is luxurious and stylish without being over-the-top, and it’s the perfect base to explore the area from, or to bookend a journey on one of the luxury trains serving the city.
