A true gem. This is my new go-to place for the first (and second) night in Cape Town. Most international flights arrive in the early morning and commercial downtown hotels do not let you check in before 3 pm. Most of us are exhausted. So make your way to Franschhoek against traffic and stop at some wineries on the way. Then rest at La Fontaine. Many fine restaurants within 0.5 miles. Lovely breakfast and exceptional service.
A gem of a find. Truly fabulous welcome. It has a real rustic charm but with all modern amenity. Great location in centre of Franschoek. Could not recommend it highly enough.
Absolutely perfect, couldn't fault a thing, beautifully appointed, massive comfortable bed in a lovely room. Staff were a so attentive and helpful, attention to detail second to none,
Perfect location 5 mins walk from centre,
probably one of the best properties we have stayed at.
