Thirty stone-walled rooms in a restored 14th-century farmstead near Les Baux-de-Provence — and the only luxury hotel in Provence with its own 18-hole private golf course.
"30 rooms in a restored 14th-century farmstead near Les Baux. The only Provence luxury hotel with its own 18-hole private golf course."
Le Domaine de Manville occupies a restored 14th-century Provençal farmstead — a stone-walled mas surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and lavender fields — near Les Baux-de-Provence in the Alpilles, the limestone-mountain region southeast of Avignon. The property opened as a five-star luxury hotel in 2014 after a multi-year restoration that preserved every surviving stone wall and ceiling beam. The 30 rooms and suites are distributed across the original 14th-century main mas (the bastide), the converted farm outbuildings, and the smaller cottage accommodations across the property.
The 30 accommodations split between Standard Rooms (in the converted outbuildings, with restored stone walls), Junior Suites (the larger configurations), and the Domaine Suite — the original master farmer's bedchamber, the property's flagship. Every room retains the original 14th-century architectural features (stone walls, beamed ceilings, terra-cotta floors); every interior integrates Provençal antiques with contemporary luxury bathrooms.
The grounds — the property's 100-acre estate including the working olive grove, vineyard producing the property's own Provence Rosé, organic vegetable gardens supplying the kitchens, and the unusual differentiator of an 18-hole private golf course (the only luxury Provence hotel with this) — make Le Domaine de Manville one of the more comprehensively-equipped small-property Provence luxury options. The Spa Manville runs comprehensive treatments. The hectares of lavender produce the property's own essential oils used in spa programmes.
Dining is at the property's two main restaurants. L'Aupiho is the headline Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant in the original mas, with a daily-changing Provençal menu drawing on the property's own gardens and Alpilles producers. La Table is the more relaxed all-day. The wine programme is heavily Provence-focused with the estate's own labels at the centre. Service is the consistent small-property family-owned luxury standard. Le Domaine de Manville is the historic-farmstead Provence answer with the unusual golf-course differentiator.
The Provence anniversary at the 14th-century farmstead. Book a Junior Suite. L'Aupiho Michelin dinner in the original mas; the spa programme; the wine tasting with the estate's winemaker. The combination of the historic farmstead setting and the Michelin-starred dining produces a refined Provence anniversary stay.
The Provence honeymoon for couples who want the historic-Provence-farmstead setting. The Alpilles location is more rural than the Luberon villages, and the 14th-century mas setting is particular to this property. The Michelin restaurant; the lavender; the olive grove walks.
The 18-hole golf course, the swimming pools, the multi-bedroom configurations in some of the converted outbuildings, and the working farm (children can participate in olive harvest in October, lavender harvest in July) make this one of the more family-friendly small-property Provence luxury options.
