Domaine de Fontenille

Top choice in The Luberon


If you're looking for somewhere to spend a once-in-a-lifetime Provençal holiday, then this glorious hotel really should be near the top of your list. Inside a gorgeous, shuttered 18th-century mansion surrounded by sweeping, cypress-filled parkland, it's a model of restrained style, from the elegant, contemporary bedrooms through to the luxurious spa and Michelin-starred restaurant.

Some rooms have private patios, others mezzanine levels with second bedrooms; all are beautifully decorated with chic shades, wooden floors, stylish modern furnishings and pieces of contemporary art.

It's about 2km northwest of Lauris.
