L'OccitaneRestored convent estate

What they say
Three Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Its name leaves no doubt as to the purpose for which it was originally constructed, but all that remains ... is its pervasive sense of tranquility.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Cobblestone lanes and medieval ramparts wind through the village of Mane, bordered by the lavender fields and olive groves of the Luberon.
The rooms
Restrained interiors pair oak parquet floors and taupe fabrics with preserved stone architecture, delivering a calm, minimalist sanctuary.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated outdoor pool borders the hillside restanques, and an indoor relaxation pool is lined with white columns.
The spa
The 2,500-square-meter L'Occitane spa houses a timbered yoga studio, salt relaxation bays, and a traditional Turkish hammam.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Pamparigouste
Arched windows and woven pendants fill this airy bistro, which serves regional Provençal dishes from a sunlit dining hall.
At the table
Michelin-starred Le Feuillée serves dinner beneath leafy plane trees, and L'Alambic pours evening cocktails beside a cloister fountain.
How it began
Founded in 1613 for the religious order of Les Minimes, the estate remained an active working monastery until 2000.
