If you like (and can afford) the finer things in life when you travel, then you’ll want to check out the Telegraph’s latest list of the world’s best hotel villas.

Even better is that Cape Town’s Ellerman House made it into the mix.

The list boasts some of the swankiest accommodation out there, complete with private chefs and pools.

Here’s a quick look at some of their top picks.

The Marbella Club’s Villa del Mar in Spain was formerly the home of an aristocrat and boasts complimentary charters on the resort’s yacht, a butler, and a personal trainer.

If you’re keen to go where the beautiful people are, then you might want to book Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc’s Villa Eleana in France, which plays host to the European glitterati every summer, and tons of celebrities (Jennifer Lopez and Tom Cruise among them) during the Cannes Film Festival.

Finally, for luxury a little closer to home, you could spend a couple of days at Ellerman House in Cape Town.

Ellerman house offers two three-bedroom villas and:

…sits perched on the slopes of Lion’s Head in the prestigious Bantry Bay residential area in Cape Town. The elegant Cape Edwardian mansion was once the home of the shipping magnates, Sir John and Lady Ellerman and is known for having one of the most beautiful ocean views in South Africa.

Ellerman House also offers a range of experiences for guests including wine tours, art tours and a spa where you can chill and get your mani-pedi on.

Yup, you’re living it up now:

Like a boss.

If you’re thinking of booking one of these villas that’s a little further afield for your next vacation, it’s going to set you back some serious dough.

You might want to hit up More Cheap Flights and save on the airfare so you can live it up upon arrival.
