La Maison de Manville, Provence

Description

Hidden away on this beautifully peaceful estate, this luxury villa in Provence is a retreat from the world, and golf enthusiasts will be in seventh heaven here.

Nestled with just a few other villas almost on the golf course of this exclusive estate, the villa feels very secluded, yet is not far from all the services and facilities you would expect from a luxury hotel, including a spa and gourmet restaurants.

Once a farming estate, the Domaine de Manville has undergone a fabulous conversion by top architects and designers, to create a retreat with a real sense of history. The stone villa’s interior is stylish and contemporary, with designer furniture and furnishings giving it a unique feel. A spacious living and dining area, with fireplace to gather around on chillier nights, opens out onto a terrace with outdoor furniture – the perfect spot to enjoy sundowners before dinner.

The property shares a heated swimming pool with the handful of other villas nearby, and there is lots more to enjoy in the great outdoors here, from cycle trails to nature walks and much more. And if you feel in need of further rest and relaxation, pop over to the estate’s own spa where you can enjoy use of their indoor or outdoor pool, or an afternoon of total pampering.

A team of experienced nannies are also on hand should you wish to hire them, to read stories, catch butterflies, build dens and everything in between. The estate is criss-crossed with cycle tracks and nature trails that the whole family will enjoy, too.

The villa has a shared pool with another eight exclusive villas on site, and children will enjoy making friends at the pool.
