Franschhoek Country House & Villas: Postcard Provence

With the heady scent of lavender wafting through the air, rose bushes and lemon trees at every turn, and a stately Provençal-esque villa, you might think you’ve landed in the south of France when you arrive at Franschhoek Country House & Villas – a small luxury hotel in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley.

Set against the rugged Franschhoek mountains, the 26-room manor house is located a brisk 15-minute walk from Franschhoek’s bustling high street, with its sidewalk cafés, art galleries, upmarket boutiques and interior shops.

But, with award-winning Monneaux restaurant on the grounds, a spa, two beautiful swimming pools, rambling gardens, attentive service and peaceful surrounds, you might not ever want to leave the estate…

Suite serenade

Dating back to 1860, the original manor house features 14 rooms: six standard rooms, five luxury rooms, and two garden cottages, as well as 12 luxurious villa suites – all of which include breakfast.
