I already posted about Babylonstoren on my other blog The Travel Files but I found some gorgeous new photos of this fabulous place on Yatzer that I would like to share with you.
Babylonstoren is a Cape Dutch farm (one of the oldest!) in the Cape Winelands, South Africa, with vineyards and orchards surrounded by the dramatic mountains of the Drakenstein Valley. It has an exceptionally well–preserved werf dating from 1690.
The guest suites echo Cape Dutch farm buildings. The style developed in the Cape Colony of the 17th and 18th century: outer walls are whitewashed and decorated with ornate gables and thatched roofs
A fruit and vegetable garden of botanical diversity supplies a remarkable restaurant.
Guests staying here enjoy access to the entire farm, plus facilities like a spa and gym. The aim is to have guests feel more comfortable, more alive among warm smiles and the simple daily rhythm of the farm. Sounds like the perfect place to relax and escape busy every day life!
I love how the books give color to this white room. The image is from the new Maison Martin Margiela hotel in Paris.
This stylish hotel/restaurant/farm/vineyard is on my wish list of places to stay! More about this Cape Dutch farm (one of the oldest!) in the Cape Winelands, South Africa, can be found on The Travel Files this weekend.

We did not have much sun here during the summer months. But this week, with autumn arriving, it has been sunny and warm. Better late than never! As I am in summer mood, today some images from Ibiza. The autumn inspired posts that I have lined up should wait for a while. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

A few days ago I featured a house on Île de Ré. Today’s post gives you a little bit more information about this island off the west coast of France, which is a lovely holiday destination. There are 10 villages on the island, each with its own character. Saint Martin is the capital where glamorous boutiques and antique shops hidden in its tiny lanes can be found, alongside good restaurants and bistros. The town of La Flotte is well known for its vibrant outdoor market.
House are painted white with shutters of duck egg blue or sea green. The government doesn’t allow development over two storeys and all new buildings must be build in the same style as the remainder of the island.
