We want to say a massive thank you to Ray and the team for such an incredible stay at La Residence! Every single request we had was handled with so much care. The rooms are just gorgeous,super colorful, vibrant, and full of personality. If you like to work out, you'll be blown away by the gym, it's easily one of the best equipped ones I have seen so far. Hanging out by the heated main pools while watching over the vineyard was also very nice. An other highlights for us was the sundowner over the vineyards, it is a view you'll never forget (added some photos of it). Also, make sure to check out the lower restaurant, the food is great, and getting to see parts of it prepared live is such a cool experience. We can't wait to return!

Absolutely exceptional experience at La Residence. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail, warmth and level of service were outstanding. The property itself is beautiful, but it is the people and hospitality that really make the experience so memorable. A special mention has to go to Mario, who was incredibly impressive throughout our visit. His professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail really stood out. You can immediately tell that he is extremely well trained, and he managed to provide polished, attentive service while still being warm, genuine and incredibly accommodating. The team was also excellent when it came to catering for specific dietary requirements. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and everything was handled thoughtfully and seamlessly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. La Residence delivers hospitality at an exceptionally high standard, and Mario is a brilliant reflection of that. A truly memorable experience and somewhere I would highly recommend.

La Residence is, without question, one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed at. Everything about the property feels magical. The grounds are immaculate, the mountain views are breathtaking, and every space is thoughtfully designed. My suite was absolutely spectacular, beautifully decorated in French inspirations with luxurious fabrics, elegant furnishings, an incredibly comfortable bed, and every amenity you could possibly need. It felt more like staying in a private estate than a hotel. I chose La Residence to celebrate my 40th birthday, and the staff made the occasion feel truly special. They welcomed me so warmly, arranged an unforgettable Chef's Table dinner, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail of my stay was perfect. The service was simply exceptional. Whether arranging transportation to and from the Wine Tram, accommodating my schedule for a massage, holding my room later before my flight, or even sewing my checked bag after it ripped just before I left for the airport, the team consistently exceeded my needs without me even needing to ask. That level of hospitality is something you rarely experience. The food was outstanding, each meal was a masterpiece, and the entire property feels peaceful, luxurious, and wonderfully removed from the outside world. It was the perfect place to slow down after an incredible journey through South Africa and reflect on an unforgettable milestone birthday. La Residence isn't just a luxury hotel, it's an experience. If you're visiting Franschhoek, I truly can't imagine staying anywhere else.

This place is absolutely breathtaking and truly a blessing for the eyes. Every corner is beautiful, peaceful, and so well maintained. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and always happy to help. A special mention to the chef, who was so friendly and kind. We had afternoon tea at the end of June, and it exceeded our expectations. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend staying here or even stopping by for afternoon tea. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would definitely love to return 🤍.
