Belgrace Boutique Hotel

Every corner reveals something interesting, from the stone paths that wind through its neat but pleasantly wild garden to the rich Persian rugs, antiques and old books that decorate the interiors. Various lounges beg you to settle back with a book. In the evening, cosy up fireside with a G&T before dinner at the Rock Fig restaurant – either indoors or on the patio, where tables set beneath the branches of a old rock fig tree glow with fairy lights.

Eight large suites typify classic glamour. Their design may vary, but you're assured sweet dreams in their huge, comfortable beds. Wedgewood Suite has a lovely covered veranda with a private Jacuzzi, and a patio perfect for romantic private dining. Bella Rose is considered the honeymoon suite, with its free-standing stone Jacuzzi and wood-burning fireplace. Belmonte Family Cottage has two bedrooms, a spacious lounge and, outside, a private furnished patio. We could go on, but in fact, all are quite lovely!

Soak up the setting with tea or a glass of bubbly on the veranda. Next, enjoy a little turn about the garden, perhaps a dip in the Jacuzzi or a spa massage. Book dinner at the Rock Fig Restaurant and let tomorrow take care of itself. Whether you're returning from or just embarking on safari, it doesn't hurt to take a moment to breathe and simply indulge in a bit of royal treatment. Remember: you're on holiday.
