La Residence, Franschhoek

    Surrounded by plum orchards and mountain ranges, La Residence is a romantic escape set on a working farm in the heart of Franschhoek. Each of its palatial rooms is uniquely styled with bold antiques, Persian rugs, and hand-painted murals, creating a sense of grandeur that never feels overdone.

    The estate’s serene gardens, reflection ponds, and vineyard-draped views offer total immersion in nature. Whether relaxing by the infinity pool, sipping local vintages, or dining on seasonal farm-to-table cuisine, every moment at La Residence is indulgent, cinematic, and deeply restorative.
