Tuscany on Sea

Infuse your next trip to the Western Cape with a touch of the Mediterranean with a stay at this charming and sunny villa. Located in the heart of South Africa's scenic Garden Route, this Italian-themed rental, which sleeps four adults, lies just a short walk from the beach and boasts a private balcony with views of the sea.

This townhouse is located on the eastern edge of Tergniet, about 15 miles from the outdoor adventure mecca of Mossel Bay. You'll have your pick of adrenaline rushes, from bungee jumping to scuba diving to ATV riding, not to mention some of the best surfing on earth. But you can also take things slower, whether that's perfecting your swing at one of the area's world-class golf courses or relaxing on nearly 40 miles of pristine beaches.

When you've had your fill of adventure for the day, retire back to your two-story rental to catch your breath and enjoy some alone time. Pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy the fresh air out on the balcony, or fix a snack in the kitchenette. Wind down the evening by watching a movie on the TV or sharing a lively conversation on the couch.

No matter what your ideal Western Cape vacation looks like, you'll find it here.
