Les Baux-de-Provence
,
France
Below the rocky village of Les Baux-de-Provence, Domaine de Manville spreads across a former agricultural estate within the Alpilles. Low stone buildings, shaded courtyards and olive trees frame rooms and villas that combine Provençal materials with clean contemporary lines. The grounds include an 18-hole golf course, indoor and outdoor pools and a spa arranged around calm treatment and thermal spaces. Dining ranges from a relaxed bistro to more elaborate seasonal menus, with terraces opening onto the estate. The long façades, pale stone and mountain backdrop keep the architecture closely tied to the surrounding landscape.
