Tuscany Guesthouse

Tuscany Guesthouse, a serene retreat nestled in the vibrant heart of Johannesburg, has been a warm welcome for travellers since 2005. Established by the Lombardi family with a vision to infuse the city with a hint of Italian-inspired tranquillity, our guesthouse has evolved from a quaint six-room establishment into a renowned 12-room haven. Throughout the years, we have cultivated a reputation for seamlessly merging the inviting charm of South African hospitality with the laid-back sophistication of a Tuscan countryside retreat, which led us to receive the Johannesburg Hospitality Excellence Award in 2022.
