Basse Provence Country House

In our opinion : A Really good place to stay, providing value for money and friendly accommodating staff. The breakfast has been enhanced since our first stay and has some nice features. It was also good quality and cooked well (tasty start to the day) This is the second time we have stayed at Basse Provence and it met all our expectations.

Some attention to detail is missing. There are a number of things that need to be improved or dealt with. For example: the shower mixer handle came off in my hand and I found, in my opinion, the whole valve unit should be replaced - it works after a fashion but is worn out. The room had been repainted at some point, but there was still masking tape, which had been applied to the exposed roof beams, to protect them, had not been removed in some places. Repairs have been made to the handbasin taps (possibly new washers fitted) but the taps which were finished in white paint and gold plated have been damaged by a plumber's wrench and the paint is badly marked and scrapped off....not a good look!

We loved every bit of our stay at Basse Provence! The staff were lovely, especially Perfect who our 14 month old adored! The pool was great, the room was comfortable and quiet and the breakfast was superb. Overall lovely setting, and mustn’t forget the complimentary wine tasting at Rickety Bridge which was lovely. Thank you!

Nothing!

Beautiful colonial property. Linked to rickety bridge winery which served fantastic food. Staff very friendly especially Precious. Room spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Pool is small but quiet with about eight loungers - we had to ourself most of the time. Hotel supplied pool towels. Breakfast is as good as anything I have had - lovely platter of food followed by hot breakfast of your choice. Taxi is about five minutes from Franschhoek. I would suggest Uber rather than the hotels taxi recommendation - About 25% of the price. Recommend the wine tram

Would have been good to have been able to order drinks

Stunning views, gorgeous garden to have breakfast in, kind staff, the best rooms with large bathrooms. Small detail: the shampoos etc were the best, I looked all over cape town and Franschoek to take some home!

Nothing!

Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely old building full of character! Excellent location. Felt secure and safe.

Bedside light not working and the electrical switches a bit temperamental.

Characterful accommodation, comfortable with excellent breakfast
