Overview
Le Quartier Français, im Herzen der Cape Winelands, dem Franschhoek Valley, gelegen, ist ein verstecktes Landgasthaus von bezauberndem Charme. Der Ort Franschhoek, in dem einst französische Hugenotten lebten, ist die Feinschmeckerhauptstadt des Kaps. Le Quartier Français ist tief mit der Geschichte der Cape Winelands verbunden: Das dem Hotel zugrunde liegende ursprüngliche Gebäude hat sich über die Jahre hinweg von einer einfachen Arbeiterhütte zu einem exklusiven Landgasthaus entwickelt.
Im Le Quartier Français kommen verschiedene (Bau-)Stile zusammen: ein wenig französischer Stil, ein wenig fremdländischer Stil - und somit insgesamt ein wenig von dem, was gern ‚Cape Provençal-Stil' genannt wird. Da das Hotel aber im Herzen des historischen Dorfs Franschhoek liegt, in einer entzückenden Ecke der Cape Winelands, wird es wohl für immer ein wenig französisch anmuten.
Im Le Quartier Français stehen 15 Gästezimmer, je mit eigenem Bad, zur Verfügung. Alle Zimmer geben den Blick auf einen landschaftlich sehr schön gestalteten Garten mit Teich frei.
Alle Zimmer des Le Quartier Français sind ausgestattet mit:
- Klimaanlage
- Deckenventilator und offenem Kamin
- extra großen Betten
- Bettwäsche aus ägyptischer Baumwolle
- geräumigem Badezimmer mit Badewanne und separater Dusche

Darüber hinaus gibt es 2 exklusive Suiten, die beide ausgestattet sind mit:
- geräumigem Wohnzimmerbereich
- privatem Swimmingpool
- voll ausgestatteter Bar (im Preis inbegriffen)
- Klimaanlage
- DVD- und CD-Spieler
Mit den Speiseangeboten im Le Quartier Français werden selbst die feinsten Gaumen von Weltreisenden mehr als zufrieden sein. Das Hauptrestaurant bietet in einer wunderschönen Atmosphäre die innovative Cape Provençal Cuisine an. In der Bar sowie der ‚Streetside Terrace' sind den ganzen Tag über leichte Mahlzeiten und eine Auswahl verschiedener Getränke erhältlich. Dies ist ein idealer Ort um sich in herrlicher Umgebung zu entspannen und dabei gutes Essen, wunderbare Weine der Region und einen herzlichen und freundlichen Service zu genießen.

Rating: Excellent
Le Quartier Francais was FANTASTIC, the accommodation could not be faulted, the surprise upgrade very much appreciated, the service was excellent as was the food and the staff were very friendly and courteous. ( It was actually my belated birthday gift for my husband and it was perfect.) We will most certainly stay there again when we go to Franschhoek and we can only recommend it highly.
