Altissimo Guesthouse
Altissimo means 'very high' in Italian and refers to the highest notes that can be played on woodwind instruments. At Altissimo Guesthouse, we pride ourselves in providing quality facilities and service of the highest standard. Situated on the outskirts of Bloemfontein, Altissimo overlooks the quiet Lilyvale Valley. We invite you to come and catch your breath at our decadent sanctuary. We provide luxury, air-conditioned B&B accommodation in 11 en-suite rooms, some with baths and separate showers and some with showers only. Certain rooms are situated away from the main building and are equipped with mini kitchenettes and microwaves. Our executive rooms have stunning views Each room is named after a different composer of classical music and we would like to think that we have captured a glimpse of each composer's personality in the individual decoration of the rooms. Breakfast is served daily in the dining room at Altissimo and a number of restaurants serving a range of local and international cuisines can be found within 6 km.

Bloemfontein, the City of Roses, serves as something of an oasis, lying as it does plum in the middle of the Free State and indeed the country. The only major city for miles around, it is also the sixth largest city in the country, the Judicial Capital of South Africa, and it lies on the N1 between Johannesburg and Cape Town, often functioning as a stop off to break the major journey between the two cities.
Despite being situated in an area of dry grassland, Bloemfontein more than lives up to its name - spring of flowers. Thousands of rose bushes line the city; more than 4000 rose trees have been planted in the rose gardens in Kings Park, and many homes, still minus the ubiquitous six metre wall of other major cities in South Africa, boast colourful gardens littered with flowering plants and trees. Bloemies, as the locals fondly call her it, is a city of little stress and very few residents buy into the rush, rush syndrome typical of a major city. The city centre is lined with historical buildings, including the beautiful tree-lined President Brand Street - a national monument - its pavements home to several graceful museum buildings, right in the centre of the CBD.
