Restored Alpilles farm estate
Centuries-old plane trees shade a stone courtyard pool on a vast rural estate set against the craggy limestone cliffs of the Alpilles.
What it’s good at

A hundred-hectare estate featuring an eighteen-hole golf course, stone courtyard pool, private cinema, and children's club caravans.
Notable
Attentive country-house hospitality with Michelin-starred dining, dedicated concierge service, and secluded private villas with dedicated pools.
Notable
Estate-harvested olive oil, on-site apiaries, and permaculture kitchen gardens rooted deeply in the rural Alpilles landscape.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Clean but never sterile, the atmosphere balances handpicked antiques with strong, contemporary lines, particularly in the half-painted walls and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Olive groves blanket the valley floor beneath the medieval fortress of Les Baux-de-Provence, ten minutes away by electric bicycle.
The rooms
Limed oak floors and antique furnishings meet contemporary lines, while standalone villas feature private swimming pools and secluded flagstoned terraces.
The baths and pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor heated pool sits beneath geometric lights, alongside a traditional sauna, hammam, and mosaic ice fountain.
The spa
Signature rituals incorporate estate-harvested olive oil, royal jelly, and maritime pine in marble-lined treatment suites.
The gym and studio
The fitness center looks out across the grounds, and a dedicated movement studio hosts yoga and Pilates classes.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
L’Aupiho
Michelin-starred L’Aupiho crafts seasonal menus using produce harvested directly from the estate permaculture garden.
At the table
Le Bistrot serves Provençal classics with bread baked on-site, and the conservatory bar pours regional wines beside the courtyard.
How it began
Founded in 1908 as a sheep farm by Louis-Alexandre Blanc de Manville, the stone estate was revived by a local family.
