Residence Vive La Vie

On the edge of Franschhoek village in the Cape Winelands, roughly a 15-minute walk (about 1 km) from the town centre. Minutes from the Franschhoek Wine Tram, Franschhoek Art House and the Huguenot Memorial Museum, set among the vineyard-draped mountains of Franschhoek Wine Valley.

A boutique Mediterranean bed & breakfast with individually styled suites — three king suites and two queen suites. Suites feature private patios, Tempur-Pedic beds, flat-screen TVs (Netflix), mini-fridges, espresso makers, air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms (some with bath and shower). Rooms also offer simple extras like bathrobes, hairdryers and in-room safes.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or cool off on your private patio in summer. Pamper yourself with on-site massages, facials and a small spa area, or grill up something at the barbecue area. A terrace and garden provide calm, and a tour desk helps you book winery visits and local excursions.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Free self-parking, concierge services, luggage storage, dry cleaning and a safe-deposit box are available; a roundtrip airport shuttle is offered for a surcharge.

Enjoy meals at the on-site restaurant and a complimentary full breakfast served daily from 8:00–10:00 AM. Sip excellent Cape wines nearby and explore Franschhoek’s world-class cafés and restaurants after an espresso in your room.
