La Clé Village — Hotel in Stellenbosch Local Municipality

We stayed with two friends in Villa Gallerie, which is a two bedroom house with its own (small) pool and a lovely terrace. The beds were so comfortable with soft sheets, a great bath as well as a shower. The decor is fun, although a bit modern in places. Wonderful paintings. ||You have full butler/ chef service in these Le Cle rooms. Nothing is too much trouble. You have a full breakfast served to you, and we ordered a BBQ one evening which was fantastic. Setting up, washing up etc is all done for you and the room is turned down / tidied twice a day. ||The Le Cle white and rose wines are great, especially the Chardonnay. You are invited for welcome cocktails each evening in the main house and can use the tennis court and the putting area (which needs to have some pitching wedges as they only have putters. ) it would have been nice to have had access to one of the larger pools, as ours was too small to swim lengths. ||The security is fantastic, with an attentive and friendly management team, always available in their office opposite. The massage services were amazing, and a special call out to Sam who was fabulous. ||The location is great, with a 7minute walk to the Main Street in Franschhoek. ||Some of the houses have 4 bedrooms. Our two bedroom one was...

Don't get me wrong, it was a nice pleasant stay at La Cle in one of their manors, we were given a complimentary bottle of house wine upon check in, our butlers were really helpful, giving us dining suggestions as we checked in pretty late, whipping up a special breakfast for us based on our requests, security was tight within the property, we slept well especially for a light sleeper like me on our first night. |However it was abit costly for just a room in the manor as you'd have to share the common areas with others, I wasn't aware of it prior to checking in if not I would have booked the entire manor as we were on honeymoon and wanted some privacy. On our second night we had other guests in the manor and I think they brought friends for a tour quite late at night so we were woken up by their loud chats and laughter. |Nevertheless many thanks to the manager, Scott (hope we got the name right) for his suggestions on which vineyards to visit during our short stay, that was really useful adding a personal touch! |Best wishes|Alison and Steven...

If you are looking for a refined and unforgettable stay in one of the nicest and most pittoresque areas of South Africa then La Cle Village is the right place!||We occupied Le Manoir, an old colonial style huge villa with all possible amenities and blessed with real charm. ||We also had specific dietary requirements (Kosher + allergies) and all efforts were done to meet our requirements, and always with a smile. ||We spent a few wonderful days in this magnificent property and will for sure be back!||I would also like to mention a few individuals who took such good care of our family. ||Our butler John, Shandre from reception and last but not least the GM Melanie, who provided such a warm and welcoming feel...
