Liked the room with our own separate entrance and close to secure parking. Room was ground floor which was easy with cases etc. The room was huge with a very comfortable bed and a sitting area. One thing to note they only provide Netflix in the rooms no other TV options. Pool area looked lovely but the weather wasn't good enough to use it.

If we stayed in Franschoek again we might chose somewhere a little closer to the Main Street. This wasn’t far out but the walk is uphill on the way back and there weren’t pavements all the way. If you plan to only use a car then this is in a fab location.

The hotel is located in a quiet residential area. Our lovely ground floor bedroom was separate from the main hotel and in the garden with a private furnished outdoor space for relaxing and watching the local birds and Squirrels. Breakfast is a set Continental style with a choice of hot food to follow and was served in the restaurant which has lovely views of the garden and pool.

Breakfast was amazing, great variety. The pool was so nice to relax in, as well as the rooms. It was a very nice, homely and secluded experience. Great location to get to the wineries, but good that you could escape the busy town centre while still being close. The staff were all so amazing and welcoming, could recommend higher.

Lovely suite ,we had the king suite. Plenty space and very comfortable,tastfully decorated. Good location away from busy main rd, fabulous breakfast and staff. We will return.

Parking a bit tricky re the angle,and very limited. Our unit had parking,but when we returned to the BB the parking bay was occupied, by a non resident visitor ( only 2 parkings in total available). We then had to move our car when they left later,not really convenient. I would prefer a seperate heater preferably an oil one in the room and not use the aircon as a heater blowing hot air, which drys out the air terribly.

The location was amazing! Fantastic breakfast! Loved the pool area. The room was lovely, and they used Rain products was an added bonus - just a nice touch which I really appreciated to make something as small as taking a shower even nicer.

Nothing, everything was fantastic!

Absolutely wonderful stay in this beautiful property! Room was spacious with amazing lounge, bathroom and terrace area. Warm welcome by the staff, lovely breakfast with extensive menu. Great location, walking distance to wine tram, village and short uphill walk to two beautiful vineyards. We will definitely book again on our next visit :) thank you

We loved the whole experience of our time in Franschhoek. Residence Vive la Vie was the icing on the cake. The staff were obliging, friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were delicious and the accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable.

Nothing.

Really enjoyed staying at Vive la Vie. The staff were really helpful ; the accommodation was very comfortable; the swimming pool super after a day exploring Franschhoek and the surrounding vineyards; the location just 15 minutes walk to town (recommend walking during daylight) & finally the breakfast just excellent.

The breakfast was excellent. A continental breakfast was offered at the table. Choice of coffee ie latte, cappuccino etc. They also offered choices of cooked breakfast. Warm croissant and muffin. Fantastic

Great location just on the edge of town so calm and quiet a very short walk into town. Perfect for the wine tram (although we did not go on the tram!)

A hook/place to hang dresses/a long coat - not a big deal laid them across the chair but such a lovely room didn’t want to ruin the aesthetic
