No visit to the Cape is complete without a visit to Franschhoek and the exclusive L’Ermitage Franschhoek Chateau & Villas. Set within the secure grounds of the prestigious Fransche Hoek Estate, a wine and olive farm, between Chamonix, Haute Cabriere and Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve, is where you will find this unique hotel.

This guest-focussed hotel pays tribute to the French Huguenots who settled in this valley some 300 years ago. A sense of old-fashioned community abounds here, offering weary city-dwellers tranquillity and relaxed atmosphere. Here residents stroll the cobbled streets, meeting friends for coffee or a chat without the rush of deadlines or the press of time.

L’Ermitage promises you a warm welcome and a wonderful stay either in a stately château or a choice of charming and private villas. The château comprises 6 superior bedrooms, each luxuriously furnished and all with breathtaking views of the majestic Franschhoek Mountains. Rooms have king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms and in-room amenities that include air-conditioning, TVs with selected channels, DVD players and even small kitchenettes.

For a more independent stay, guests might prefer one of the many spacious villas that line the cobbled streets, all luxuriously furnished with the finest finishing touches. Each villa comes with a fully equipped, designer kitchen.

Funiki, Franschhoek's only Japanese cuisine and sushi eatery, is proudly owned and managed by Kiyomasu Deon Sensei. At Funiki, guests can experience the pleasant and delightful sight and sounds of Old Japan in the expression of simplicity, sophistication, spontaneity, originality and ambience.

For weddings and social celebrations, or conferencing and corporate affairs, you need to look no further than L’Ermitage for an unforgettable event. For anniversaries, special birthdays and glamorous weddings the champagne air of the fields of fynbos, the embrace of the Franschhoek Mountains and the spectacular natural setting promises to make it a celebration to be remembered.

L’Ermitage Village is an ideal conference venue with state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment and seating for up to 60 delegates. Staff are experienced and attuned to the needs of business, ensuring seamless execution of instructions so that the focus of delegates is always on the business of the day.

"Great."

Excellent service and very nice view!

"Great stay lovely place."

Breakfast service was tardy and felt unhygienic and sloppy. Elizabeth at reception was exceptional. The curtains should be able to be opened fully as the views are exceptional.

"Wonderful."

Friendly staff, delicious breakfast. Beautiful surroundings.

"Very nice location, friendly service and people and very nice rooms."

Very nice! We will definitely return again!

"Quiet place to switch off and enjoy the scenery."

We stayed for a week. The place was neat and clean and the breakfast was one of the highlights. There is a nice pool and the service was excellent.

"Excellent location, view and beautiful room, comfortable and luxurious. Good service, friendly and efficient."

Beurtkrag sours the circumstances because they are not equipped for it. No lunch/dinners could be provided. Due to the holiday season, all the restaurants were already fully booked. We relied on L'Ermitage's restaurant but unfortunately could not be provided with meals which is a shame.

"Amazing view, friendly staff."

Fantastic getaway destination, amazing service and accommodation.

"Had an amazing experience."

The staff was so helpful and professional. Our room has rained in, and the staff as well as the management apologised for this inconvenience, and have moved us to another room. They even provided us with afternoon platters to indulge. We were treated like kings and queens, even the transport we organised. Thank you L'Ermitage Franschhoek Chateau & Villas.

"Very, very nice rooms and gardens, with very helpful staff."

L'Ermitage Franschhoek Chataeu & Villas looked really nice to me on the website, but seeing the place is just amazing. It feels like you are in a small town somewhere in France. The gardens are stunning, the view out of another world. Inside it is very, very beautiful and the staff are very helpful and speak Afrikaans.

"Poor value for money."

The accommodation is disappointing considering the price. The towels are torn and overall the unit is not clean. Breakfast is average and service slow. Definitely will not return.

"Outstanding!"

Very pleasant stay and service! I would gladly recommend it.

"Incredibly beautiful and luxurious."

Reception well. Accommodation 5-star. Breakfast was chaos. Not enough waiters to serve. For the quality of accommodation, breakfast can be upgraded.

"The most comfortable stay anyone can ask for."

We had a very comfortable stay. The check in was smooth with the friendliest staff. The villa was even more beautiful than described. We will definitely be visiting again.

"This was my best family holiday. 4 star!"

I would recommend any couple, friends or family to book in at the L'Ermitage any day, winter or summer. The service was superb. We were treated with such love and it felt as if I was at my family home with friends. Staff - what a great job and the breakfast was great. 4 star!

"Fantastic!"

We enjoyed it terribly. Beautiful surroundings, facilities clean and tidy, friendly staff and meals delicious and very tastefully served. What a treat!

"Great stay, beautiful scenery, wonderful friendly staff!"

We will definitely be back, and have referred 2 other couples to a stay here already.

"Was disappointed as it was a surprise for my daughter's 21st birthday."

We booked 3 villa rooms. One double and 2 single. On arrival there was only 1 double room booked. No one could understand what had become of the discussion. Fortunately, I took all my received emails with me. The 2 single persons (male and female) had to share a room the first night. The next day one of them was given a separate room. Light bulbs were blown. Had to ask for toilet paper, towels and bath soap.

"Beautiful place, but they're not well managed"

L'Ermitage is beautifully located and the rooms have very generous proportions and are quite luxurious. However, the other memories of the stay were rather disappointing, especially for a 4-star place: the private pool worked only on the last day (after reminding the reception every day and receiving no progress reports), the bedroom had an unbearable smell of moisture and old smoke, the breakfast was marked by a daily fight for cutlery, coffees and literally every single thing on the buffet (thanks to complete under staffing). Also, the reception charged us extra money, due to errors on the system. Due to this, I definitely wouldn't go back.
