La Fontaine Guest House in Franschhoek is simply a hidden gem. The moment I arrived, I felt like I was stepping into a cozy home rather than a traditional hotel. The décor is gorgeous, and the personalized service made my stay truly special. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the town, making it easy to explore local restaurants and attractions. However, while the breakfast was delightful, I would have loved to see a few more hot options. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that offered great value for money.

I had an incredible family getaway at La Fontaine, where we were treated like special guests from the moment we arrived. The rooms were stylish and extremely comfortable, nestled in the beautiful surroundings of Franschhoek. The service was outstanding, especially with thoughtful details like a driver ready for us after dinner. My only regret is that we couldn't extend our stay longer as we truly enjoyed every moment.

My stay at La Fontaine was truly delightful. The atmosphere is chic and inviting with stunning decor, and it really gave me that boutique hotel feel. The biggest bed I've ever slept in was a blissful highlight. Breakfast options were incredible, and the staff, especially Cecilia, made the experience even better. The only downside was some noise from the street, but it didn’t overshadow the overall enjoyable experience.
