One of world's top ten villas

One of world's top ten villas
 
2009-02-19


THE 5-star private hideaway at Grande Provence Heritage Wine Estate, Franschhoek, known as The Owner’s Cottage, has been named in the latest issue of Harpers Bazaar magazine, as one of the ‘10 most fabulous Villas in the World’.

The Owner’s Cottage welcomes guests to unsurpassed boutique accommodation comprising five beautifully appointed bed­rooms including a deluxe suite, a spacious lounge, designer kitchen and a conservatory for dining. This is further enhanced by a manicured garden with a loggia, swimming pool and an elevated spa pool overlooking the Estate’s vineyards towards the magnificent mountains beyond.

Founded by French Huguenots in 1694, Grande Provence Estate lies within the lush beauty of the Franschhoek Valley in heartland South African wine country.

The Estate brilliantly combines historically significant heritage with contemporary chic and in the four short years since its total refurbishment, has gathered an impressive list of local and international awards.

These have largely been in recognition of outstanding hospitality, service, and for the cuisine of Executive Chef Jacques de Jager and his team.

This cuisine has been complemented by award-winning Grande Provence wines created by the Estate’s legendary winemaker Jaco Marais.

Earlier this month, the Owner’s Cottage was chosen by Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Report Special Edition (USA) as the single recipient of their Grand Award, for South Africa.
