Domaine de Manville occupies a 100-acre estate in the valley beneath Les Baux-de-Provence, within the Regional Natural Park of the Alpilles. The grounds are surrounded by olive trees, wild herbs, and green fields. The medieval village of Les Baux, with its castle ruins, sits on the hilltop above the hotel. Local boutiques in the village sell traditional Provençal products including almond-flavoured calissons, candied fruits, and honey nougat.
The property offers 39 rooms across two floors, including nine luxury villas. Accommodation types include Classic rooms, Deluxe rooms, Junior Suites, and Suite options, as well as Villa accommodations in Classic, Deluxe, and Prestige categories. All are described as spacious and airy, with views across the pool and surrounding countryside.
The hotel operates two restaurants: a gourmet restaurant and a bistrot. The bistrot service takes place in an interior courtyard shaded by trees, where guests can enjoy light lunch accompanied by Rosé de Provence. Both venues highlight fresh ingredients from local suppliers, who are named on menus and invited to present their produce at culinary events hosted by the Domaine.
The estate includes a spa with massage services, an outdoor pool, a fitness room, and an 18-hole golf course. The golf course holds ECOCERT certification for sustainable development and was the first in France's PACA region to achieve this designation.
Originally a working farm and home to the Saut family's bee-keeping tradition, the Domaine operates a 2-hectare permaculture farm in collaboration with PERMALAB, under control of DREAL and the Regional Natural Park of the Alpilles. The project aims for self-sufficiency in vegetables, plants, and herbs. A flora and fauna inventory, developed with ECOMED naturalists and a bird protection league, protects endemic species including the oscelate lizard and pelobat toad. Ten nesting boxes support the 16 bat species native to the Natural Park.
The hotel runs 'green ambassador' and 'Zero waste tomorrow?' programmes focused on waste sorting, recycling, and composting. Cooking classes with vegetables from the garden and agro-forestry farm tours are open to guests and the local community, including school children. Bi-monthly green walks are organized to clear the grounds and recycle collected waste.
The golf course appeals to golfers, while the spa and pool setting suits those seeking relaxation. The permaculture farm, biodiversity initiatives, and location within a protected natural park attract nature and agro-tourism enthusiasts. The gourmet restaurant, cooking classes, and focus on local ingredients appeal to food-minded travelers.
