VAL DE VIE ESTATE LAUNCHES POLO VILLAGE Val de Vie Estate, a lifestyle estate set against the backdrop of the majestic peaks that form the Paarl-Franschhoek Valley, has launched its next new property phase – Val de Vie Polo Village. This development will comprise 60 fully serviced suites, each designed on one of three floor-plans: Hurlingham suites, with two en-suite bedrooms, measuring 112.6m2; Ambrosia suites, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, measuring 96.3m2; and Polo Pad studio apartments, with one bathroom, measuring 68.3m2. Val de Vie Polo Village will furthermore see the development of 20 Polo Village office suites measuring 25m² and up, which has stemmed from a demand to provide current residents with convenient business premises. The suites will be characterised by refreshing simplicity and a great deal of modernity, tying in with the easygoing yet chic environment provided to its residents. From floor-to-ceiling lime washed oak doors to Caesarstone counter tops and sophisticated Hansgrohe taps, the attention to detail paid to the internal finishes will radiate luxury.
