Fantastic place to begin a nice adventure in South Africa....lounging by the pool (which overlooks the vineyards) to recover from the jet-lag.... Extremely helpful in assisting us with dinner reservations for the top restaurants in the area (some of which happen to be considered top in the world according to Conde Nast!).....yummm.... Definitely plan to return....

We booked here very last minute and lucked out! Gorgeous rooms that were spotless and had excellent shower pressure (very important :o) ) Our collective breath was taken away by the amazing view over the pool out to the vineyards. Spectacular. The beautiful thing about this place was the people running it. They had such good advice and organised it... More

This beautifully appointed guesthouse is 8 kilometers west of downtown Stellenbosch and only 25 minutes from the Cape Town airport, The gracious hosts arranged several dinner reservations for us, directed us to a local hike among the adjacent vineyards, and provided recommendations for tasting from the tens of nearby wineries. It was too chilly in October to enjoy the beautiful... More

Annemarie and Jan run a great place that is ideally situated to discover the wider Stellenbosch area. But we have discovered that on a hot summer day, the pool, with its great view over the vineyards towards Stellenbosch, is just as tempting ... The rooms are quite unique, very spacious and luxurious. The lounge is a great place to spend... More

The spacious rooms are all differently designed and follow a certain african topic. That does not mean you will find the "shopping" kitsch you will find in the "african shops" in Stellenbosch in this rooms. You will find modern decoration and interior, which is sometimes not useful that useful (e.g. the open shower) but nice to look at. The dutch... More

Allegria is a beautiful guesthouse with only six rooms so it is very peacefully. The rooms are spacious with a nice shower and a large bathtub. The rooms provide everything you might need and all have a private terrace with a beautiful open view off the surrounding area. There is also a large lounge with books and DVD's and a... More

We spent 3 days at Allegria and were served excellent advice in Food & Wine ideas, enjoyed the excellent service and really were delighted on the views and environment over the vineyards. On a very doable distance from Stellenbosch (some 8 km) an excellent place to relakz, to start daytrips and really enjoy your holiday. Having seen multiple luxury guesthouses... More

I am a bit surprised with the previous comments. First I thought that I must have been staying in another place than the other guests as the complaints did not match at all with my experience at the Allegria. The guesthouse has a very large and convenient lounge area, a computer and printer at your disposal, a huge pool, a... More

Not that we were disappointed with the views, the breakfast and the location, but compared to all the other B&B's we stayed in, this was the most unpersonal stay we had. As described in another review, we were surprised to find the sign on the door that said to make a call for the front door to be opened. We... More

We found the visit a tad disappointing/disheartening overall, which was a shame; our general thoughts were: 1. We had to make an international call to get the owner to open the front door, as a sign said the bell was not working. 2. Maybe she was having a bad day, but we felt the owners attitude to be less than... More
