Residing at the foot of the Franschhoek mountains, overlooking the bon vivant village below, L’Amitié – in all its grandeur and glory – invites you in to its nouveau Cape Dutch quarters, and implores you to unwind amidst the panoramic views of valley and mountains and between leafy vines and fynbos.
Set on nine hectares of rolling vineyards, citrus and fig orchards, an olive grove, a natural dam, old water oaks and pride of India trees, fynbos shrub and manicured yet purely indigenous gardens, this hideaway unveils its alluring character in the roots that hem the house. Having been in search of their dream farm in Africa, the owners’ calls were answered when they first caught sight of the bountiful views of the valley, the vines, and the mountains that seemed to never end.
The magnificent Manor House at L’Amitie Estate offers a wonderful living environment. Warm colours and textured fabrics create a sophisticated ambience in the cosy living areas, and wonderfully soft beds and comfortable furnishings make every stay a pleasure. The Manor House offers four guestrooms complete with modern en-suite bathrooms with underfloor heating and luxury amenities to airconditioned rooms with high end furniture and fittings and full complimentary Wi-Fi internet.
Aside from resting your head and enjoying breath-taking mountain views while escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life you can soak up the sun on the panorama pool deck, take a stroll through the vineyards or just settle in with a glass of wine and a good book on your private patio.
Franschhoek town centre is just two kilometres away for those seeking to explore the boutiques, local craft markets, restaurants and art galleries, or travel to neighbouring wine farms on the exciting and famous Franschhoek Wine Trams.
