Alluca Villa is a stylish couples retreat nestled in its own private garden, surrounded by lawns, fruit trees, native trees and wildlife, with uninterrupted views over Alluca’s vineyards to the Mt Lofty Ranges beyond. A place to kick back, recharge and connect with nature, and the perfect base to explore all that’s on offer in the spectacular McLaren Vale wine region.
About the Villa

A kind word from one of our previous guests.
“Shhh. Don’t tell anyone. This is THE centre of the Universe (sorry Port Lincoln, you come close, but this IS IT). I’ll need to write 2 reviews to give 10 stars. Claudia and Peter are exceptional hosts. With years of worldwide hospitality experience, they go out of their way to make one feel special. Nothing is too much trouble. They are willing to give as much or as little of their time as you wish. The villa and grounds are maintained to a really high standard, with everything you need to make your stay a truly memorable one. We love it here so much we have been back several times since our first stay in August 2022, sometimes to stay, sometimes to visit, and once for lunch with a group of friends which Claudia and Peter catered for with amazing style and grace. The estate wines include interesting varietals, expertly curated. The award winning 2015 vintage methode champenoise is stunning. Alas it is very nearly all gone. Hopefully a new vintage will arrive soon. All in all, Alluca Villa is a brilliant place to get away from it all and unwind. On the doorstep of McLaren vale, exceptional boutique wineries and restaurants abound. So don’t tell anyone this is the centre of the universe because it will be permanently booked out and we won’t be able to get in ever again.” Paul Bogner, 5 out of 5 Stars.
