Tucked away in the tranquil vineyards of the Franschhoek Valley, the private wine and olive estate of Domaines des Anges is the stunning backdrop to a secluded retreat known as La Residence.
Just an hour from Cape Town, La Residence is designed along the lines of a French Country Chateau and offers eleven suites, each decorated with fine French antiques, Persian carpets and Ralph Lauren bed linen. Expansive patios offer magnificent views and can be the setting for massage treatments, meanwhile, a cloistered courtyard with a private pool is a relaxed, tranquil spot.
La Residence adopts a farm-to-fork philosophy, with their executive chef creating ever-changing, seasonal menus from fresh, local ingredients, many of which are grown on the estate. All menus are paired perfectly with their crafted wine list.
Meander from estate to estate, sample fine wines and local, artisanal produce, cycle through the local village, hike up Mont Rochelle or take a helicopter tour over the mountain ridges and valleys of Franschhoek. In the village, visit art galleries or the motor museum and explore everything the wider Cape has to offer. Enjoy an exclusive cooking experience, starting with picking fresh ingredients from La Residence’s vegetable garden before returning to the terrace kitchen to cook up authentic, delicious dishes.
La Residence supports The Cape Leopard Trust, a not-for-profit organisation engaged in the innovative research, conservation and education projects to facilitate and promote the conservation of biological diversity, with a focus on the leopard as a flagship species. Their vision is to ensure the continued survival of leopards for the benefit of nature and society and to support the protection of leopard habitat and prey species.
La Residence is located on a private 30-acre estate in the beautiful Franschhoek Valley.
