Le Quartier Francais

Ideally located in the centre of Franschhoek we found the hotel to be a perfect place to stay and explore this lovely town. On arrival we were greeted by Michaela and Morne who along with the other staff made our stay a delight! The hotel is immaculately maintained and manages to be quirky and stylish at the same time. We were very unfortunate that Epice, our favourite restaurant ever, was closed for renovation (it reopened the day we left) but Protege made up for this by providing a superb experience, the Yellowfin Tuna being my highlight. The hotel has two absolutely outstanding restaurants in the same building, only separated by a corridor ! Our room was bright and spacious with a lovely mountain view. We booked a spa treatment which took place at Leeu Estate, the hotel’s sister property. The spa itself was being renovated and the treatments were given in a cottage on the estate. Excellent treatments in a truly spectacular setting , about a 5 minute drive from Le Quartier Francais in their shuttle bus. Our stay was at the end of July and the weather was beautiful ( although this is not usually the case at this time). The town was very quiet, compared to the summertime and restaurants were easily booked. We had a very early departure and the hotel provided tasty breakfast boxes for our journey to the airport. We were delighted with our stay at LQF and would happily return!

Lovely residence hotel tucked off the main road in town felt like returning home in the evening with the carefully curated grounds and setting. Well appointed room with wood burning fireplace was perfect for an after dinner retreat on a cool evening.

Hotel very nice. Pool cold in March (not heated). Room dark due to bushes shielding insight. Restaurant so-so. Breakfast awkward - no buffet, you have to wait 20 min for some bread. Nice location though.

What a gem! Small, relaxed but elegant. Franschhoek is a nice smaller alternative to Stellenbosch and this is definitely the place to stay. Impeccable, friendly staff. A must stay!

We stayed in a pool suite and the photos on the hotel website really don't do it justice. It is extremely spacious and the upstairs bedroom in the loft with 3 beds and a DVD player really is fantastic. If you are staying here, you get a complimentary wine tasting session at the nearby Leeu Estate including transfers, it is truly beautiful there, I have included some pictures.

We have just spent 8 nights here. This is a fab hotel- small, peaceful, very comfortable and with excellent staff. Dumi the assistant manager is outstanding and nothing is too much trouble for her. The hotel is in the centre of the village where there are lovely shops, cafes, restaurants etc. A perfect combination. Highly recommended a private pool suite.

Warm welcome. Beautifully decorated room with all the necessary features. Very comfortable bed and flexible bathroom (small point- water pressure in the bath could be better). The plunge pool was relaxing with enough chezlongue for all guests. Food was very good with an interesting contrast between Epice and Protege. Would highly recommend for a relaxing breqk or longer holiday. We already considering when we can go back.

This is one of the most professionally run hotels I have stayed at. The staff are excellent. The hotel is run almost to perfection. The rooms are light, pretty and super comfortable. Breakfast is very good. The calmness of this location yet being very central is very useful. I would rerun here in a heartbeat especially given the care and attention provided to us on our honeymoon. Really not a lot to complain about after our 5 days there

Truly one of the best places I’ve stayed. Location is right in town, and a great restaurant onsite. The facility was great - quite well kept. And the staff - truly felt like they were interested and I had a great time.
