Fodor's Expert Review Domaine de Manville

With so much to recommend it—lovely decor, an idyllic setting, impeccable service, a spa, a golf course—the new Domaine de Manville is poised to outdo every luxury retreat in this exquisite corner of Provence. Set among majestic old plane trees on 100 acres of manicured gardens and olive groves, the hotel's two beautifully restored 18th-century buildings offer sumptuous rooms stylishly outfitted in contemporary haute Provencal. Just as well suited for a romantic retreat as a family getaway, many of the hotel's well-equipped suites are like small apartments unto themselves: the duplex family suites include bathrooms on each floor and most rooms have either a private terrace or balcony. As a bonus, magnificent views are to be had from every angle of the property, including the pool and 18-hole golf course. The property also offers nine ultracontemporary, full-service villas—large enough for eight—with their own private pool and golf carts to tool around the property. No need to step foot off the premises, as the gastronomic restaurant, well-priced bistro, garden bar, and lovely glassed in winter garden (for breakfast or teatime), answer every culinary desire and golfers will love the boutique, with everything you could possibly need for a day on the green.
