Excellent stay at La Sosta hotel which is connected to what is one of the most amazing Italian restaurants ever experienced outside Italy. The passion, creativity and attention to details of Salvatore, Nina and their team are exceptional and value their sense of hospitality and kindness. Both the guesthouse and restaurant are a must-see, must do. And by the way, that risotto was amazing!

Beautiful property and delightful hosts! The room was very clean and nicely decorated. The bed was a bit hard, but still comfortable. The only lack in the room was someplace to sit, but there are nice tables outside each room. The pool looked lovely, it it was too cold for us to use it since we visited in winter time. The restaurant was fantastic - we would highly recommend La Sosta to anyone looking. To stay in Swellendam.

Wonderful stay in Swellendam
We were warmly greeted as soon as we arrived to La Sosta. This was sort of a last minute stay for us, and we were so happy to have been able to book in to this lovely place. The rooms have been newly renovated and are very simply done. We enjoyed the simple aesthetic and quickly relaxed into our new surroundings. Do yourself a favor and book in to the on-site restaurant for dinner. We had one of the best meals in recent memory and then took a short walk back to our room. Breakfast was equally delightful and we certainly left feeling cared for and sated. I wish we had longer than one night to stay at La Sosta, though I don't think my waistline could handle it. This is a fantastic find in the Swellendam area.

Food Excellent, Service Less So
We went to La Sosta for the food - dinner was brilliant, best modern Italian food we have had outside of Italy. Chefs both talented and skilled, but service in restaurant slow and a bit frenetic. As an experience, awkward check in - arrived and found staff all having lunch, not really ready for us. Room apparently newly renovated, but very basic, small and cluttered and facing the road so needed to keep windows closed. No clear common area to sit and read or relax except for outside area, but it was cold and rainy. So we went on a 2 hour drive to Route 62 to get away from the room. Not ideal. During dinner we were asked to complete a form to pre-order breakfast and to give a time for this, we indicated 08:00. The next morning while packing the car, we discovered that we had an issues and decided to leave 15 mins earlier to get to George to fix this before our long trip to Graff-Reniet. We went to the breakfast room, there was no staff member present, there was no coffee and no breakfast had been prepared. So we left. About 30 mins later we called reception and the front of house person told us he was in Stellenbosch so had not noticed us leave. Rather disappointing, so go to La Sosta for dinner, but don't stay there.

La struttura, costituita da un edificio storico, è estremamente gradevole. La camera è curata nei particolari e completa di tutto. Il ristorante veramente eccellente. Squisita in particolare la cortesia di Salvatore, proprietario e chef con cui abbiamo amabilmente conversato, ricevendo preziosi consigli. Tutto assolutamente consigliato
