From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the breathtaking beauty of the estate. Surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and the majestic Franschhoek mountains, the setting is like something out of a dream. It’s peaceful, private, and feels like your own little piece of paradise. The accommodation was flawless—elegant, spacious, and impeccably clean. Every detail, from the decor to the amenities, was thoughtfully curated to create a sense of comfort and luxury. Waking up to those views each morning was something I’ll never forget. What truly made my stay exceptional was the staff. Warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive, they went out of their way to make me feel at home. Every interaction was genuine, and their local knowledge and recommendations added so much value to my time in Franschhoek. Ludus Magnus is a true gem—an eco-conscious sanctuary where luxury and nature blend seamlessly. I only wish I could have stayed longer. I will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a serene, top-tier escape in the heart of wine country. ##### Luis Filipe Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anders 22 Feb 2022 #### Not 5 stars yet A very special place with potentially great standards but not up to it yet. Breakfast so so, dinner ok, service very nice, many minor things not working. No directions for how to enter But beautiful and the pool is fantastic ##### Anders Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Spier Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Spier-Hotel.h558209.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Stock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stock-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d6034716--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Canopy by Hilton Scottsdale Old Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phoenix-Hotels-Canopy-By-Hilton-Scottsdale-Old-Town.h54159544.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritance Kandalama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandalama-Hotels-Heritance-Kandalama.h1526814.Hotel-Information) > > [De Zalze Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-De-Zalze-Lodge.h1752930.Hotel-Information) > > [New York Hilton Midtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-New-York-Hilton-Midtown.h19768.Hotel-Information) > > [Ona Palmira Paguera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-HSM-Madrigal.h2232512.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Stratford-upon-Avon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels.s50-0-d5703.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lilly Residence-All Sea View Suites | Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paros-Hotels-Lilly-Residence-Sea-View-Suites-Adults-Only.h2283647.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful 4 Bedroom Villa, Private Heated Pool & Garden, Mountain Views.
