One of the guest rooms at the Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse in Hermon, Western Cape, South Africa

Just over an hour's drive from Cape Town, this nineteenth-century farm overlooks the vineyards and olive groves of the Riebeek Valley. Its location in the up-and-coming Swartland wine region — near the more famous vineyards of Wellington, Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch — gives it a romantic sense of seclusion. The property boasts wheat and merino sheep farms, as well as a 10,000-acre private nature reserve, which means you can frame your days of wine tasting with morning and evening game drives. Surrounded by a wide verandah, the original farmhouse offers a quartet of bedrooms and one suite, all filled with antiques. In addition, guests can stay in the private, four-bedroom Wild Olive House with its own pool. Life at Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse is all about pleasure, from leisurely trout fishing and canoeing excursions to French-inspired meals in the conservatory, paired with thoughtfully selected local wines.
