Weekly Departure: The World Cup Rental: Figure 1

If the excitement of the World Cup has made you want to jump on a plane and head to the host nation, we have found a pretty nice place for you to stay when you are not out watching soccer.

This six-bedroom villa is located at Camps Bay in Cape Town and has a number of amenities that cater to the soccer-watching renter. For the games that you don’t have tickets to, there are satellite plasma screen televisions in every bedroom, and a 50-inch screen in a meeting room. On the ground floor is an air-conditioned gym where you can work out if all the soccer you watch inspires you to get on the treadmill.

Lastly, if you and your friends want to celebrate your country’s victory, the house is well-suited for entertaining with a heated infinity pool, indoor/outdoor bar area, and a panel that controls lighting, music and the opening and closing of the gates and front door.

The price for all this luxury: $7,800 for a week. But what is money really when the World Cup is going on.
