An elegant 18th-century manor in the Luberon with just 25 rooms and suites, pool and its own winery – Domaine de Fontenille is an intimate Provençal escape with a real sense of place.
Highlights
18th-century Provençal manor set in its own vineyards and landscaped park in the Luberon.
The Fontenille on-site winery showcases the flavours and wines of Provence.
Only 25 rooms and suites, each unique, light-filled and thoughtfully designed.
Outdoor heated pool, spa treatments and curated experiences from wine tasting to cooking classes.
Domaine de Fontenille feels more like a private Provençal estate than a hotel, a classic 18th-century mansion wrapped in cedars, olive trees and its own vineyards in the heart of the Luberon Regional Nature Park. Perfect for those who like their luxury understated and authentic, it’s a place to slow down to the rhythm of southern France – wandering between lavender-scented gardens, glass in hand, as the sun sinks behind the hills.
With just 25 rooms and suites, the atmosphere is charmingly intimate. No two rooms are the same, but all share an abundance of natural light, views across the park provide a graceful blend of classic mouldings and contemporary, fluid lines. Superior and Prestige Rooms are ideal for couples, with queen or king-size beds, soothing neutral tones and well-appointed bathrooms. Executive rooms add private terraces or sweeping park views, while Prestige Duplex rooms and suites offer separate living spaces and extra room for families.
Days here unfold at an easy pace. Start with a leisurely breakfast on the terrace before heading out to explore the postcard-perfect villages of the Luberon, or simply claim a lounger by the heated outdoor pool set within the landscaped grounds. Spa treatments are available by reservation, performed in your room or in an outdoor treatment cabin in the gardens. Wine tastings, cooking classes and estate tours offer a gentle way to connect with the region’s terroir without ever straying far from “home”.
For families, couples and friends seeking a stylish yet unpretentious base from which to explore Provence – or simply to do very little at all – Domaine de Fontenille delivers French art de vivre at its most quietly indulgent.
