L’Ermitage Franschhoek Chateau & Villas is nestled in one of the oldest towns in the Western Cape Province. Franschhoek is home to chateaus and villas of pure luxury. The Fransche Hoek Wine and Olive Estate provides an awe-inspiring location.

Once known as Oliphantshoek, Franschhoek is one of the oldest towns in the Western Cape. The name "Franschhoek" came about during the 1600's. French Huguenots settled in the Drakenstein Valley where it soon after took on the name "French Corner", directly translated to Franschhoek. Much of the Cape Dutch architecture still stands today. The sublime area is the perfect getaway for any traveler.
