From the owner

Residence Vive La Vie is located in Franschhoek with mountain views to leave you breathless. In summer time the pool is just what you need to cool down and enjoy a sundowner drink. Or relax on your private outside patio before you leave for dinner in one of the many famous cafes or restaurants in Franschhoek.

Situated in Uitkyk street, a slight 15min walk from th centre of town, not to quiet, but after sunset things quiet down. Just a steep hike up the hill you will find two wine houses. A light walk down the street and Franschhoek lies at your feet, ready to amaze you. From cafes and restaurants, chocolate shops, gift shops and many many more. Wine farms all around with wines that will surely keep you coming back season after season. Shuttle service available on request.
