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 Feb 22, 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 24, 2025 Liked: Staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Abbotsford](https://www.expedia.ca/Abbotsford-Hotels.d4128.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Inkantu Apartments & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Inkantu-Self-Catering-Apartments.h103857526.Hotel-Information) > > [Sugarbird Manor at Protea Heights Farm](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Sugarbird-Manor-At-Protea-Heights-Farm.h2917196.Hotel-Information) > > [Pearl Valley Golf Lodge - Loadshedding Free](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Pearl-Valley-Golf-Lodge.h100352871.Hotel-Information) > > [marriotthotelsresorts Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-0-d178296--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ladybird Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Ladybird-Vineyards-Guesthouse.h83703189.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in San Cristobal](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Cristobal-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d3000447916-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lakefront Cottage in Manitou Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Watrous-Hotels-Lakefront-Cottage-In-Manitou-Beach.h17328220.Hotel-Information) > > [Winelands Golf Lodges 40](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-De-Zalze-Winelands-Golf-Lodges-40.h83793092.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Parking in West Knoxville](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Knoxville-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Parking.0-0-d6059852-tHotelswithFreeParking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Summerwood Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Summerwood-Guest-House.h2835770.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke-Hotels.d10607.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Happy Home Imhoffs Gift](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Happy-Home-Imhoffs-Gift.h22236713.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sidney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sidney-Hotels.d9614.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel ReykjavĂ­k Grand](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Reykjavik.h45483.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178315-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [WINK Quiver Tree](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Quiver-Tree-Self-Catering-Apartments.h16297955.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Dallas (DFW) to Kenner (MSY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dfw/msy/dallas-to-new-orleans) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Arlington (DCA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/dca/buffalo-to-washington) > > [Flights from Minneapolis (MSP) to Yellowknife (YZF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/msp/yzf/minneapolis-to-yellowknife) > > [Flights from Panama City (ECP) to San Pedro Sula (SAP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ecp/sap/panama-city-to-san-pedro-sula) > > [Flights from Toronto, ON (YYZ-Pearson Intl.) to New York, NY (NYC-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Bainbridge Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Bainbridge-Island.d10188.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### General > [Visit Bogotá](https://www.expedia.ca/Bogota.dx178238)
