Timeless Italian Grandeur

Exclusive Instruction to Sell
Nestled within the most prestigious neighborhood of Hermanus, this South African interpretation of a Residenza D’Epoca seamlessly blends the elegance of European living with the untamed beauty of the African coastline.
The upper levels of this architectural marvel are designed to withstand the elements of the sea, while its formidable foundations create an unparalleled entertainment haven.

Drawing inspiration from the rugged charm of southern Italy, this stunning structure pays homage to the enduring appeal of the 16th-century Puglian Masseria. These historic estates, originally known as masserizie, were grand, fortified farmhouses built to resemble fortresses, centered around a high-walled courtyard and accessed through impressive wooden gates. While Italy has skillfully transformed these estates into luxurious boutique hotels and culinary havens, their essence has transcended continents, finding a new home in Hermanus.

Elevated above the breathtaking cliffs of Walker Bay, in one of the most exclusive enclaves of Hermanus, this magnificent replica commands a panoramic view of the coastline.
Upon entering through the expansive arched entrance, one is greeted by an inner courtyard dominated by a striking cobalt blue pool, serving as a captivating focal point. The property boasts six generously sized suites, each exuding its own unique ambiance and seamlessly flowing into the courtyard, creating a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor living.

Descending into La Taverna, guests are welcomed into a vast subterranean vault that is completely soundproofed, making it an ideal venue for late-night weddings, significant milestones, and high-profile celebrations. This impressive space features a magnificent heritage bar, reclaimed from the historic Marine Hotel, and the extensive, brick-vaulted lounge effortlessly transforms into an elegant private cocktail club. Designed for grand gatherings and exceptional company, La Taverna is the quintessential late-night slow lounge, where unforgettable memories are crafted long after the sun has set.

Ascend the gently sloping staircase to reach the upper level, where you will discover the luxurious master suite, complemented by two bathrooms, befitting the “signore e signora del maniero.” This space boasts an open-plan design that integrates the formal lounge, dining area and kitchen, creating an inviting atmosphere perfect for both relaxation and entertainment. From this area, you can step out onto a wrap-around balcony, where you can fully immerse yourself in the breathtaking views of Walker Bay, allowing you to appreciate the stunning scenery and fresh sea air that this remarkable location has to offer.
