This exceptional honey-colored stone villa is located on a 600-acre wine estate just north of Aix-en-Provence. Public areas comprise a library, a bar and a new spa with seven treatment rooms, an onsen (traditional Japanese bath) and an outdoor pool. The reception pavilion encompasses a grill restaurant by famed Argentine chef Francis Mallmann, and Le Restaurant for fresh seasonally inspired cuisine that primarily employs ingredients from an on-site kitchen garden designed by Louis Benech. The 28 freestanding suites line a private cobbled lane shaded by bamboo and scented with jasmine and feature a sleek and contemporary décor, with modern art and traditional Provençal design accents, including wrought-iron framed doors, walnut étagères and curtained four-poster beds. Baths have Vietnamese marble soaking tubs and walk-in rainfall showers. Some accommodations with private pools.
