An opulent, individually designed hideaway on a working wine farm above the Franschhoek valley, part of The Royal Portfolio
About the Property
La Residence sits on Elandskloof farm above the Franschhoek valley, one of the boutique hotels in The Royal Portfolio collection. Individually designed suites mix eclectic European antiques with what the property describes as "the warmth of a private home," spread across Hotel Suites and Vineyard Suites that sleep two to six guests, plus Franschhoek House, a six-bedroom private villa for exclusive use. The valley views take in the Drakenstein and Franschhoek mountain ranges, roughly 75 km from Cape Town.
La Residence is also a working farm, and its Executive Chef builds seasonal menus around estate-grown produce — a farm-to-table approach that runs through to the property's own foundation, which supports community initiatives in the surrounding area. Guest reviews describe staff who greet returning visitors by name, and on Booking.com the property is rated 9.7 out of 10 from 30 reviews, with staff scoring 9.7 and cleanliness 9.8.
One recent guest summed it up simply: "Beautiful and peaceful setting. Fantastic staff. Lovely facilities. Excellent food and wine."
