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 > [Osoyoos Lakeview Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Osoyoos-Hotels-Lakeview-Motel-Suites.h7166114.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Splendide Royal - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Splendide-Royal-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World.h581053.Hotel-Information) > > [OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-OUTRIGGER-Reef-Waikiki-Beach-Resort.h23249.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Hotel Vancouver Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Quality-Hotel-Airport-South.h921980.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Le Concorde Québec](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Concorde-Quebec.h4015.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/John-F-Kennedy-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aJFK-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Valleyfair Amusement Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Valleyfair-Amusement-Park-Hotels.0-l501809-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels near Ibiza Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibiza-Island-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d602653-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Painter's Lodge ](https://www.expedia.ca/Campbell-River-Hotels-Painters-Lodge.h8189731.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Las Vegas Strip](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Strip-Las-Vegas-Hotels.0-n800045-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6141041-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bkk/yul/bangkok-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Zanzibar Town (ZNZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/znz/winnipeg-to-zanzibar) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/sin/new-york-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yeg/halifax-to-edmonton) > > [American Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/American-Airlines-Flights.cAA.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Northeast Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/553248623754127581/flights-from-northeast-calgary) > > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/yow/miami-to-ottawa) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Tokyo (HND)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/hnd/edmonton-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Ingenio (LPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/lpa/calgary-to-las-palmas) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Jeddah (JED)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/jed/vancouver-to-jeddah) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages ### General
