Check availability Official websiteThe hotel occupies a 100-acre estate in a valley beneath Les Baux-de-Provence in the Provence Alpilles. The property is surrounded by olive trees, scented wild herbs, and lush green fields characteristic of the Alpilles landscape. Originally a working farm, Domaine de Manville retains connection to its agricultural roots through the Saut family's bee-keeping heritage. The valley location is in a landscape that has historically inspired artists, as the region attracted both Van Gogh and Cézanne. The estate's positioning between the Alpilles hills and the cultivated farmland creates an environment that balances human heritage with natural elements. The property's commitment to preserving this heritage while providing hospitality distinguishes it within the region.
Les Baux-de-Provence is a medieval village perched above the estate, featuring castle ruins visible from the surrounding landscape, offering guests opportunities for cultural exploration. The village contains boutique shops selling traditional Provençal products including almond-flavoured calissons, candied fruits, and honey nougat. The nearby Regional Natural Park of the Alpilles encompasses the estate, providing a framework for environmental protection and conservation of the natural landscape. Nearby verified luxury hotels in the region include Baumanière Hôtel & Spa located 1.7 kilometers away. The proximity to this historic village and protected natural area positions the estate within a culturally and environmentally significant location in Provence.
Domaine de Manville protects the agricultural, historical, and natural heritage of its 100-acre property. The estate maintains a 2-hectare permaculture farm in collaboration with PERMALAB under the supervision of DREAL and the Regional Natural Park of the Alpilles. This project enables the hotel to produce its own vegetables, plants, and herbs. The property works closely with ECOMED naturalists and local bird protection leagues to preserve endemic species including the oscelate lizard and pelobat toad. Ten nesting boxes provide habitat for 16 different species of bats native to the region. The estate organizes bi-monthly green walks to clear grounds and recycle waste. These initiatives support environmental stewardship while maintaining the property's hospitality function.
