About Domaine des Andéols
- Domaine des Andéols began as family land when Olivier Massart's grandfather Pierre, a dentist and artist, bought the Luberon estate in 1918.
- Massart runs La Mode en Images, staging runway spectacles for John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier; his father Jean was CEO of Christian Dior.
- The property displays more than two hundred fifty artworks across eleven independent houses and eight suites, each themed around a collector's piece.
- Maison du Voyageur started from Ghanaian and Congolese masks and now holds a stuffed Bengal tiger among tribal artifacts Massart gathered for years.
- A four-hundred-year-old plane tree anchors the estate bistro, while two thousand olive trees on thirty-eight hectares supply the domain's own olive oil.
History
Domaine des Andéols is a hotel and open-air art estate near Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt in the Luberon, Provence, built around a former family hamlet whose land was acquired by grandfather Pierre Massart in 1918. It was created as a hotel in the late 1990s by Olivier Massart — a fashion-show scenographer whose agency staged major spectacles — together with his wife Patrizia Pilotti.
The 32-hectare estate is dotted with individual villas or "Maisons" and more than 250 works of art, making it something of an open-air museum. In 2023 its management passed to the Phoenix Hotel Collection, with a Design Hotels affiliation.
