The natural beauty of the landscape has been enhanced by man. Vineyards and Fruit farms, interspersed with clumps of pine, form a delicately interwoven tapestry of mingling colours and shades. Amongst the patchwork of farms in the valley are some of South Africa's oldest and most famous wine estates. The grand old Cape Dutch farmhouses and Wine stores have watched proudly over the land for centuries, and are still producing some of South Africa's top wines today.

Designed along the lines of a French Country Château, La Residence offers 5 luxuriously furnished suites. Each provides the ultimate in old-world luxury, decorated with treasures such as fine French antiques, exquisite Persian carpets and an eclectic mix of objets d'art.

Expansive patios offer magnificent opportunities to relax, admire the view, enjoy the delicate scents of nature and marvel at the synthesis of beauty and tranquility. Alternatively, guests can enjoy the cloistered courtyard with private pool. A separate home movie room and private library add to the secluded splendour of the villa.

The regal master suite is for those seeking the pinnacle of luxury. It provides a study and private balcony, his and hers dressing rooms, a palatial bathroom and panoramic 360 degree views of the surrounding Franschhoek Valley.

At La Residence, world-class service is the order of the day. Guests are provided with a private butler, a private chef and a chauffeur with car on hand.

Come explore this quiet haven, where time is only measured by the seasons and the colours of nature's palette paints the land in a myriad of ever-changing hues.
