Villa Viva is a Guest House, a fresh, innovative social business, meeting and networking platform to share and express creative work, social projects and celebrating life. Villa Viva Cape Town spreads over 4 Victorian houses with high ceilings, wooden floors and tin pressed ceilings in one of the houses. Villa Viva is located in the heart and hustle of the “Mother City” – Cape Town. The multifaceted compilation of courtyards, community spaces, our bar and the ceremony-tent convey the look and feel of a small village - table mountain view, our colorful garden and refreshing poolside make you feel connected with nature while you are just a stone’s throw away from the buzz of town. A big variety of spaces create a unique experience for guests, colleagues, partners, visitors and everybody else who drops in. We are all about people! Our team will welcome you and make you feel like part of the family. Feel free to make friends and share the vibe because we are all connected in our space.
