Breathtaking views overlook the pool to the vineyards and mountains beyond and three separate bedroom suites open onto a second terrace, at the far side of the house, ensuring plenty of space to spread out and enjoy.

Book this exclusive-use villa for the perfect escape in the winelands. Guest are invited to unlock the secrets to living like a local in Franschhoek. At La Clé, they want you to feel that their home is your home during your stay. A short walk from the village, the French-accented retreat has a working vineyard, orchards and lavender-flecked gardens, located in the heart of Franschhoek village. Loved by extended families and groups of friends, Domain’s light and airy interiors combine the purity of African colour with vibrant Moroccan style. All three suites lead out to a traditional farmhouse verandah with uninterrupted views over the pool to the mountains and vineyards. For those travelling in larger groups, inquire about the twin bedroom that connects to the far end of the villa and opens out onto the back terrace.

Wake up to birdsong and wide mountain skies. Wander into the garden to collect fresh eggs from the chickens or harvest vegetables for breakfast. Meander along the private walking trail, take a dip in the 20-metre lap pool, or enjoy a game of tennis before lunch. Afternoons stretch out across manicured lawns, with long, lazy meals under the trees or a quiet book in hand beneath their generous shade.

Set on five hectares of landscaped grounds, the estate is a place to unwind, entertain, and savour a slower pace in complete privacy, framed by breathtaking views of the Franschhoek valley.
