Breakfast was a sumptuous feast overlooking the beautiful manicured garden and pool. What a beautiful 'home from home' Masion d'Ail is with warm sincere hospitality. Will definitely recommend it to... Read this review

  • Franschhoek Trip

    2 nights in Franschhoek at Maison d'Ail. The owner is lovely and very helpful. Maison d'Ail is a great place to stay. Rooms are very spacious and breakfast is perfect. It is within walking distance of the town and takes about 10 minutes but it's a nice walk and we would definitely stay again.

  • Will definitely go back and recommend it to anyone looking for an awesome stay in Franschhoek.

    Breakfast was laid out for us every morning promptly at the time we asked for. Everything was delicious. The house was clean and comfortable. Beautiful bathrooms. Many seating areas to choose from. Easy access to wine farms and town centre. Staff were incredible - kind and accommodating. We wanted for nothing on our trip and will 100% be booking there again.
