Take time to appreciate the owner's private art collection, spread out over the resort.
With the right kind of eyes, it is easy to mistake Four Seasons Resort, Provence at Terre Blanche for any of the quaint hillside villages that dot the region. Sure, its 115 private villas and executive suites are among the newer structures in this corner of France, but that doesn't stop the resort from wholeheartedly embracing the local aesthetic with natural wood and stone finishes.
Chief among many highlights is indoor-outdoor restaurant Faventia, where Executive Chef Stephanie Quellec and the expert staff prepare Mediterranean-Provençal cuisine complimented by local and international vintages. Live piano is featured nightly in the Gaudina Lounge.
The nearby Terre Blanche Golf Glub stretches more than 6,500 yards, with views of neighbouring villages and the distant Southern Alps. The Spa at Four Seasons Resort, Provence at Terre Blanche is widely considered one of Europe's best, with two stories (34,446 square feet) of facilities.
