Introducing Casa Labia Cultural Centre







Cape Point Route is thrilled to introduce Casa Labia Cultural Centre in Muizenberg - this incredible building has been restored and reopened with a sensational cafe but check out theor programme of events too - lectures, art classes, workshops for kids, music concerts, poetry readings, book launches... and the cafe is too die for! A real boost in Muizenberg's repertoire!

Casa Labia was built to reflect the spirit of 18th century Venice, Casa Labia is South Africa’s most exquisite multi-functional cultural centre and up-market venue; complete with contemporary South African art gallery, Africa Nova boutique and an authentic Italian café.

Experience it
Casa Labia was designed for Count Natale Labia as a Cape version of the awe-inspiring Palazza Labia in Venice. Today, under the watchful eye of his granddaughter Antonia, the house remains a celebration of all that is unique and beautiful about Italy and South Africa.

Specials
The Café’s daily specials feature Italian classics made with proudly South African ingredients. We hand craft our menu weekly, changing with the seasons to provide options that are varied and interesting, so that regulars are never bored and always challenged!

Casa Labia Cultural Centre
Visitors can enjoy a programme of lectures, art classes, workshops for children and adults, music concerts, poetry readings and book launches throughout the year. - Booking essential.

Casa Labia Galleria
A new contemporary South African art gallery at Casa Labia celebrates the best of South African art with solo and group exhibitions offering a new dimension to Casa Labia’s more historic rooms. The Galleria is a must-see for all visitors.

Africa Nova at Casa Labia
Situated in the former Boudoir, Africa Nova is a dynamic, up-market boutique highly regarded for its unique blend of art, craft and contemporary design. Perhaps best described as "New African", the house style is urban, edgy and vibrant with echoes of the traditional forms of old Africa.

Casa Labia Café
Located in the former reception area as one enters the house, the intimate 40-seater Casa Labia Café exudes charm, warmth and authenticity. An ideal venue for brunch, lunch, elegant afternoon tea or a simple cup of very good coffee.

Why not pop in to Casa Labia Cultural Centre when you visit the International Kite Festival in Muizenberg on the 23rd and 24th October 2010.
