The only true villa experience in the Cape Winelands have to be those at La Cles Des Montagne, overlooking vineyards and mountains, yet within walking distance of the restaurants and shops of central Franschhoek. Superb American born GM Peggy Klement with extensive experience in Africa and her charming and genial partner Larry Gould are wonderful hosts with attentive butlers and... More

I returned home to a very wet and chilly Johannnesburg late yesterday, but nothing can dampen the enthusiasm I and I know Kate, felt for the wonderful warm hospitality we received from you and your team at La Cle. You really do have a little [ well not so small ] piece of heaven at all the villas, and La... More

First of all you would need to make up your mind of what kind of interior design you prefer in your villa - Or maybe you should just let yourself be surprised by the work done by the international star designer Sarah Ord - All the villas are unique and great and so are the people who take care of...

My husband and I were fortunate enough to stay at La Clé for a special birthday weekend this past weekend. I can't find the words to accurately describe how truly extraordinary our experience was. Frank & John (our butlers) were friendly, genuine, humble and helpful. Chantel, as well as being kind and smiley, offered excellent advice on where to eat... More

We (my husband, sister and brother-in-law) stayed at La Cle ("Key to the Mountains") last month and I cannot remember when I was as blown away with the beauty of a setting and facilities as I was when we stepped into this special place. It is the sense of place that I was not prepared for. It is just 2... More

The villas are all different but extra-ordinary in design, furnishings, location, amenities and charm- each has a different feel! Beautiful and perfectly managed and serviced. My two bedroom villa was delightful -- a struggle to choose which room to sleep in! Frank welcomed me and does everything, even before asking. Wonderful! The terrace with the enchanting views over the orchards,... More

Absolute perfection. We had the wonderful experience of staying in the large villa where nothing was overlooked. Our arrival was on a Friday evening and to be greeted by our superb butler Frank with a glass of champagne we immediately felt relaxed and spoilt. The pool is a decent full size placed in a scented garden - the landscaping of... More

Could not find fault with anything and we absolutely loved everything about it! The décor is fabulous. Really love it! Very vibrant and eclectic. There are 4 different villas each with their own unique character and feel. The villa concept is perfect for families who want their privacy. The butler service is a huge highlight and makes you feel very... More

There’s something about going away - even if only for a short time and even if it is not far from home – that puts you into another space, a space where time feels seamless and irrelevant and where the world looks just that bit brighter and more deeply textured. The blinkers of routine fall away and there is an... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Four individually designed villas accommodating between two and eight guests per villa at the historic Le Grange homestead, within walking distance from the Franschhoek village centre. Each villa not only provides complete privacy and security, it lends itself to entertaining, with spacious living rooms with fireplaces and a library, indoor and outdoor areas, a private swimming pool and garden, as well as a fully equipped kitchen. Villas come complete with all home comforts to suit extended stays, and are able to accommodate families with children of all ages. Sophisticated style and breathtaking beauty is the essence of La Clé des Montagnes.La Clé des Montagnes offers an idyllic setting a short stroll from the historic village of Franschhoek. A selection of four unique villas await you on a working wine estate, surrounded by picturesque vineyards, plum orchards with a magnificent mountain backdrop. We invite you to enjoy an unparalleled luxurious experience in the heart of the beautiful Franschhoek valley.La Grange – Sleeps 6 GuestsThis sophisticated villa’s ambience was inspired by the elegant textures, solid woods and distinct fabrics of a colonial highlands lodge. The warm palettes that make up the interior have been carefully selected to reflect the seasonal hues of the surrounding orchards and vineyards. In turn La Grange’s interiors are infused with stylistic elements reminiscent of a Victorian farmhouse – while large, plush furnishings such as deep-buttoned, rollback beds will ensure that guests will receive nothing less than a luxurious stay.Le Manoir – Sleeps 4 GuestsInspired by the French heritage of Franschhoek, the reds, blacks, greys and whites of the interior of Le Manoir engender the spirit of French linens, toiles and patterned stripes. Beautiful antiques, unexpected traditional furniture pieces and carefree colours are at the heart of Le Manoir’s charming character. Homely, yet with a modern edge, Le Manoir offers the perfect salutation to French style in a breathtaking African landscape.La Galerie – Sleeps 4 GuestsSaturated blocks of colour juxtaposed with a minimalistic interior create a powerful energy in this expressive and avant-garde villa. The deep, rich grey walls of La Galerie have been selected to make up the canvas of a beautiful contemporary art collection featuring pieces by the acclaimed Swedish artist Bengt Karl Erik Lindström. Gallery lighting highlights expressive abstracts that forge a dramatic and engaging space, while the furnishings of La Galerie comprise a marriage of sought-after antiques, as well as carefully selected, exclusive contemporary pieces. La Galerie is a fitting tribute to the rich artistic heritage of Franschhoek and the country from which its founders originated.Le Colonial – Sleeps 8 GuestsThe rich patterns and fabrics of Le Colonial pay homage to a fusion of east and north African aesthetics. Patterned fabrics, Moroccan tiles and African art lend the space a tasteful vibrancy and dynamism. Le Colonial’s panoramic views of the vineyards and mountains combine with the contemporary African feel to create a truly memorable experience. ... more   less
