Domaine de l'Isle occupies 250 acres of a small private island on the Rhône River, a stones throw from the famous Papal city of Avignon in the heart of Provence. The property is covered in orchards and fields, still in active production. Monks of the Carthusian Order built the manor house of Domaine de l'Isle in the eighteenth century. At the time of the French Revolution in 1789 the Domaine was owned by the Knights of the Order of Malta. These origins help to explain the sense of peace and grandeur the buildings extol.

The centrally located 18th-century manor house and guest house are surrounded by extensive lawns, a fenced in swimming pool, an orchard, and century-old, tree-lined allées.

Within fifteen minutes are the cities of Avignon and Orange with their architectural treasures and music and theater festivals. Within half an hour are two golf courses, eight one-star restaurants- Avignon itself has three less there are wonderful places to visit, including the Pont du Gard, Uzès, St. Rémy de Provence, and Isle-sur-la- Sorgues with its 200 antique dealers. An hour drive brings into range three two-star restaurants, a host of added one-stars, the hill towns of the Alpilles and the Luberon, Arles, and Aix-en-Provence. All of this is in the midst of some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
