Villa Belmonte Manor House Hotel: for sale

Owners, Cliff and Tabea Jacobs, restored and converted their exquisitely beautiful 109 year-old manor house into an exclusive 5-star boutique hotel some years ago and have since gained an enviable reputation for the excellent quality of their product. Internationally acclaimed, Villa Belmonte stands as a monument to their unyielding commitment to all-embracing, finely detailed hospitality - a role model for similar establishments in South Africa!

Tabea, who is Swiss, is not only blonde and beautiful but speaks four languages and has a degree in business economics from the St Gallen School of Economics, Switzerland. She became interested in the hotel business after she married Cliff and is now a vital part of the Villa Belmonte's management team.
