Villa St James in Cape Town ★★★  

Hovering over False Bay with 360-degree views of mountain and sea, the enchanting and luxurious Villa St James is a historical national monument built in 1850 in Cape Town, South Africa. It was once home to the British admiralty; the Greek royal family and League of Nations founder Jan Smuts.
St James was the first resort area developed by the British in the early 1900’s due to its balmy year round climate, Mediterranean sunshine and warm sea.
