Villa Franschhoek

This stunning luxury villa to rent in Franschhoek sits in a tranquil and very private location, off the main road in the beautiful town, just an hour’s drive from Cape Town and its beaches. With a long history dating from 1688, when it was founded by the French Huguenots, Franschhoek is also known as the food and wine capital of South Africa. There are more award-winning restaurants concentrated here than anywhere else in the country, all within a short walk or drive from the villa. The exceptional wine tasting in the area offers a unique experience, with many of the historic family-owned vineyards also offering beautiful architecture, as well as incredible views. Some also offer extra treats such as museums and garden tours.

A beautiful combination of colonial English design and traditional Afrikaans/Dutch heritage, the luxury villa rental is surrounded by a very large and beautifully designed mature garden. With paths leading to various lawns, and quiet corners with tables and chairs, there are plenty of places for relaxing outdoors. There are also koi fish ponds and a vegetable garden. The main terrace outside the villa leads to a large lawn with a swimming pool, surrounded with sun loungers. A covered terrace with fireplace is perfect for dining outdoors. There are also outdoor gas heaters, a gas barbecue and a pizza oven.

Inside, the interiors offer an eclectic mix of Victorian, Cape Dutch and Georgian architecture and furniture, as well as numerous pieces from famous South African artists.  Each room has a character of its own and all offer a very high level of luxury and service.  The many amenities here include a TV room with flat screen TV, DSTB and DVD, a Control 4 automation music app, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, premium A Grade linen and turndown service, bathrobes, hairdryer, heated towel rails in bathrooms, an espresso machine and a Grand Piano. A live-in chef and butler will provide you with 5-star continental breakfast and world class service. The property is also available to be rented out for small scale weddings and photo shoots, the backdrops and gardens providing the perfect setting for either.
