Set in the quaint French Huguenot village of Franschhoek, gourmet capital of the Cape, L'Auberge du Quartier Français, a much celebrated Relais and Chateaux property which began life as a much fêted restaurant and has since grown into a small boutique hotel of great character. Set in the heart of the Cape winelands and less than an hour's drive from Cape Town, it lies behind an attractive Provençal façade flanked with a rose and lavender border, in essence a perfect example of Cape Provencal style at its best. Converted from the original farm labourers' cottages, L' Auberge has fifteen luxury ensuite bedrooms and two suites that look out onto their own secluded garden and swimming pool. The new Four Quarters next door has only four suites offering extra privacy. Spacious and newly decorated, all rooms have stylish modern fittings, fresh colour schemes, ceiling fans to keep temperatures comfortable in summer and cosy wood burning fires for winter. Whilst there is plenty to occupy the active such as fly-fishing, golfing, horse riding and wine tasting nearby, the allure of the courtyard swimming pool and the prospect of lunch at the hotel's award-laden restaurant is pretty irresistible. With staff dedicated to spoiling their guests and a host of delicious beauty treatments on offer, L'Auberge du Quartier Français is the perfect getaway in the country.
