Check Hotel/Lodge Availability

La Residence is a luxury villa hotel tucked away deep in the idyllic Franschhoek valley, just an hour's drive from Cape Town. The villa lies at the heart of a private 30-acre working farm, complete with vineyards, plum orchards, a dam and fragrant manicured gardens. Space is in abundance with panoramic views of majestic mountains from every suite. Large bedrooms and bathrooms open onto generous sunny balconies and verandahs, which offer the perfect place to relax, admire the view, and marvel at the beauty and tranquility. An integral part of the luxurious villa experience is the elaborate interior. Each of the eleven rooms is uniquely appointed; from an exotic Tibetan suite with oriental antiques and hand-painted screens to French boudoirs with Provencal antiques and mirrored dressers. The fabrics throughout include superlative silks and textures, handpicked to match each interior. The dining and living areas resemble an elegant manor hall. Communal areas lead onto country terraces where roses and fountains make for serene summer evenings. Dining is always a leisurely experience where guests can enjoy most of the culinary secrets of the picturesque Franschhoek Valley, allowing them to be tempted by dishes of fine flavours, diverse textures, freshest local ingredients and attractive presentation. All menus are complemented by the best South African wines. La Residence presents a host of enjoyable activities including deep relaxation with an array of pampering treatments, available in the privacy of your own room or private balcony. Outside, unwind in the villa’s magnificent infinity pool or, a few minutes' drive away, visit the village of Franschhoek, the culinary capital of the Cape, with many top class restaurants. Enjoy a private cheese or wine tasting at one of the surrounding estates by appointment. For the outdoorsman, a round of golf, trout fishing, quad-biking, helicopter trips, paragliding, hot-air ballooning or a horseback tour of the surrounding wine farms can be arranged. A more sedate excursion is the horse-drawn carriage ride through the local village and vineyards.
