For our 5th visit in Hout Bay and after visiting other high ranked guesthouses, we decided to come again to Villa Montebello which is the only one offering a quality environment and amazing views with a real top quality service. All rooms have awesome views of Table Mountain, Hout Bay valley and sea. Terraces and balconies were a pleasing feature... More

Nestling towards the upper levels above Hout Bay lies Villa Montebello, a beautiful property offering a wonderful view of the hills towards Chapman's Peak from the whole property. Enjoying the great breakfasts at the poolside terrace provided a delightful, sunny start to each day. Security was a high priority for Patrice (probably justified) so one can feel very safe at...

Exceptionally comfortable with and excellent breakfast and delightful hosts. We thought the security precautions were over the top, but for those concerned with security in South Africa this should provide a high degree of comfort.

We stayed in the separate garden room for two nights in Jan 2013. The guest house is very well situated in the hills above Hout Bay so has stunning views and is also very quiet. Patrice and Catherine are very good hosts and obviously want to please their guests. The room had wonderful bedlinen and one of the comfiest beds... More

We enjoyed the hospitality of Catherine and Patrice at this wonderful place so much. As we had some security problem in the area of Hout Bay before we felt very safe in the Villa Montebello and the two of them did everything to make us a nice stay. The rhodes suite is amazing with superb views over Hout Bay. In... More

I echo all the previous positive comments and it’s difficult to write something new. Patrice and Catherine are superb hosts (and were very gracious when we set off the security alarm in error!). Rooms are spotlessly clean (we had the Mountain Room), with beautiful linen, views are stunning (being higher up makes a real difference), breakfast was excellent - all... More

Excellent advice what to visit, where to dine.Even if you have no plans for one day just relax and enjoy the view from a deck chair near the pool with a bottle of wine from the minibar. There is always shadow from a huge pine, if you want, and a soft breeze from the bay.

We needed rest and we found it here. Patrice and Catherine were very discreet and at the same time, very welcoming. They were keen for us to discover the area but also enjoy their beautiful garden. Breakfast was superb with fresh fruit, differently presented each day- a feast for the eyes and taste buds! and home made jams, my favourite... More
