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.
I almost never leave a review but I couldn’t ignore this place. The property is very nice but what truly makes this outstanding is the staff, and really at all levels. From how we could park early in the morning to only check in in the afternoon, to how our little note about vegan breakfast if possible was fully noted with multiple options provided! You feel like a regular guest in a small caring hotel.
Wow, this place is amazing! The breakfast service, the turn down service, the staff-- all amazing! The location is perfect as well. Excellent place to stay.
3 couples stayed for a night, so good we changed our road trip and returned 4 days later for another night. Brilliant property, great friendly people, best location, great breakfast, highly recommend
Kim, Carlof and all the staff were super hospitable making us feel very welcome. They also helped us to organsie our one day in the area. Breakfast was very tasty.
