Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort

Its name might mean ‘white land’, but it’s green all the way at this 750-acre plot of Provence, once owned by Sean Connery. Since Scotland’s most handsome export handed over the reins, it’s been under the stewardship of a man with a love of both golf and this part of rural France, which many would say is a match made in heaven. There’s a golf course and academy, but conservation is key and the resort treads gently on its pastoral paradise.
