“Stay here if you are in Franschhoek”
We had a two bed villa and a studio for our family, both were beautiful, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The setting is very picturesque and it’s a 10 min walk to the centre of Franschhoek. The food on the restaurant was excellent and good value. Lastly the staff couldn’t do enough to help you. We had a great stay.

“Great location and friendly staff, but too many small oversights to live up to the luxury promise.”
The villa itself is really nice and the kitchen is well equipped. Even though simple things like kitchen towels to dry hands is ommitted. We had a seemingly impressive garage allocated to the villa, which was a nice touch. Even though we never received the remote for it. The location is amazing — it's walking distance to Franschhoek, so you can take a stroll into town, which is a definite plus. Being able to wander into this beautiful town is something we really appreciated. The dinner restaurant food is really good, and I had one of the best sirloin steaks I've had in a while. The service is not great for an empty restaurant but the dinner food served make up for this. There is also an à la carte breakfast menu, and the waiter was quick to correct an order that wasn't right, which was appreciated. The staff are really nice and friendly. They try to do the correct things and are eager to help throughout the stay. Despite some shortcomings and definite training issues, there is a genuine warmth about the place and the people in it. We really enjoyed ourselves overall and had a good time, and others will too. This is a seemingly negative review in places, but it's really a case of missed opportunities. L'Ermitage Franschhoek Château and Villas doesn't intend to give off a "low-end holiday resort" vibe that it does, and with just a few obvious details attended to it could be truly great.

“Overall I liked the place, and would maybe stay there again for the price. I would specifically request my villa”
The villas are spacious and well equipped with very good views. Facilities are modern and clean aside from a few details that needed to be checked. The staff really were great and made a huge effort across the board.
