Domaine De Fontenille

The gorgeous 18th-century manor is surrounded by leafy woodlands, where centenary cedars straddle natural brooks and springs. Manicured gardens envelop the property, perfect for a relaxing stroll.

Foodies will love perusing Le Grand Potager garden, where fresh fruit and vegetables are grown using eco-friendly permaculture techniques.

There’s also a picturesque 39-hectare vineyard that’s been pumping out premium plonk since the 17th century. Traditional architecture and state-of-the-art vinification techniques make it a must for every oenophile.

Scenic hiking and horse-riding trails let guests explore the property and beyond.

The Marseille Provence Airport is a 50-minute drive away.

Bright neutral colours and sleek contemporary lines define the design, while sophisticated hardwood furnishings and old-world portraits add a timeless touch. All rooms feature big French windows that open out over the garden for a view.

Upgrade to a suite, and you’ll get oodles of extra space plus a sitting room complete with intriguing antiques. Some come with private terraces for lazy afternoons in the open air.

Bigger groups can book The Apartment, which features a fully equipped kitchen and sleeps up to five guests.

All rooms are pet-friendly.
