Review
Spread over nearly 50 acres of vineyards, Grande Provence consists of the Owner’s Cottage, a fine-dining restaurant, an outdoor pool and a sculpture garden. The cozy Owner's Cottage sleeps ten guests and contains four luxurious bedrooms and one deluxe suite, all of which boast sophisticated, understated décor with rustic touches like exposed wood-beamed ceilings.
Grande Provence is best suited for those looking to unwind and recharge, as relaxation is almost a requirement at this delightfully laid-back retreat. A typical day consists of breakfast on the terrace surrounded by the garden of English roses, followed by a visit to the charming downtown of Franschhoek (a five-minute walk away) and a wine tasting before dinner at the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant. The property is ideal for those looking to explore the surrounding winelands, as Franschhoek's famous wine tram stops right on property.
Who Should StayOenophiles looking to relax in the privacy of their own cozy Cape Dutch cottage.
