Wander through the wine village of Sauternes
Sauternes is world-famous for its sweet white wines, but also for its beautiful walking area. The 8 km long ‘petite boucle’ takes you through rolling vineyards and past traditional wineries. Along the way, you’ll enjoy the scents of ripe grapes, atmospheric country lanes, and maybe even a tasting. This walk is light and easy, perfect for a morning or afternoon trip in the sun-drenched hills.


Discover the medieval charm of Villandraut
Just a few kilometers from the domain lies the village of Villandraut, where you will find a beautiful 6 km hiking trail. The route circles the imposing castle and leads you through the charming center and green surroundings. It is an ideal walk for families with children: not too long, little elevation change, and plenty to see and experience along the way. You literally walk through the history of the region.
Explore Lake La Prade
Combine a visit to the lively Saturday morning market of Bazas with a relaxing walk around Lac de la Prade. This 8-kilometer route is just a 10-minute drive from Domaine EcÔtelia and is perfect for a peaceful afternoon with the whole family. You’ll walk a well-marked loop around the lake in about 2.5 hours, where you can spot plenty of birds along the way and enjoy wide views over the water and surrounding fields. Bring a picnic or rest on one of the benches along the path. This walk is ideal for discovering the local flora and fauna and truly unwinding in a peaceful, natural environment.
Climb, jump and play in the adventure park of Bazas
Just a 15-minute drive from Domaine EcÔtelia, you’ll find Parc de Loisirs à Bazas – a true paradise for families packed with action and fun. This adventure park offers climbing courses among the trees, zip lines, bouncy castles, mini golf, and a play area with water and sand. Children from 3 years old can already join in with age-appropriate activities, while older kids (and parents!) can push their limits on the higher courses. The park is beautifully situated in the forest, so you can find some cool shade even on a warm day. Perfect for an afternoon change of pace after a relaxing morning at the estate. Combine it with an ice cream in the center of Bazas and you’ve got a perfect day for the whole family.

We chose a treehouse. Very nice, quite comfortable, and very clean.
The entire property offers a very pleasant experience—it’s peaceful and has a beautiful pool that perfectly captures the theme and spirit of the place.
On the other hand, a major downside was the meals, which were served in jars by a third-party vendor! It’s simply awful—and, as a result, extremely expensive.this is a translation, click here for the original
Nous avons choisi une cabane dans les arbres. Très sympa, assez confort et très propre.
L’ensemble du domaine propose une prestation très agréable, au calme et avec une très belle piscine, complètement dans le thème et l’esprit des lieux.
En revanche, très gros point noir sur les repas proposés sous forme de bocaux par un prestataire ! C’est tout simplement horrible et du coup extrêmement cher. -

The setting is simply magnificent: surrounded by nature, amidst the trees, in complete tranquility. It’s a particularly rejuvenating, relaxing place that’s perfect for unwinding. The change of scenery was immediate upon our arrival.
Our accommodations were perfect. The cabins are cozy, very well-equipped, and exactly as described. Each one has its own character and a touch of originality that makes the experience even more unique.
We were also impressed by the quality of the food. The meal baskets are excellent, made with carefully selected local products and prepared with great care. Everything is delicious, with a real attention to detail. The breakfast delivered in a basket also lives up to its promise and is a wonderful highlight of the stay.
The spa area is a true haven of peace. The personalized treatments offer a timeless escape, ideal for relaxing and unwinding. We also enjoyed a massage that perfectly rounded out this experience of wellness and relaxation.
Finally, a huge thank you to the entire team. The staff handled all our requests for personalized service with professionalism, attentiveness, and always a smile. The welcome is warm, thoughtful, and sincere, with just the right amount of attention to make us feel completely at ease.

Nous avons passé un séjour absolument exceptionnel au Domaine EcÔtelia, et nous en repartons enchantés.
Le cadre est tout simplement magnifique : en pleine nature, au milieu des arbres, dans un calme absolu. C’est un lieu particulièrement ressourçant, reposant et propice à la déconnexion. Le dépaysement est total dès notre arrivée.
Notre logement était parfait. Les cabanes sont chaleureuses, très bien équipées et totalement conformes à leur présentation. Chacune possède sa propre identité et une touche d’originalité qui rend l’expérience encore plus unique.
Nous avons également été séduits par la qualité de la restauration. Les paniers repas sont excellents, composés de produits locaux soigneusement sélectionnés et préparés avec beaucoup d’attention. Tout est délicieux, avec un véritable souci du détail. Le petit-déjeuner livré en panier tient lui aussi toutes ses promesses et constitue un très beau moment du séjour.
L’espace spa est un véritable havre de paix. Les prestations personnalisées offrent une parenthèse hors du temps, idéale pour se détendre et s’évader. Nous avons également profité d’un massage qui a parfaitement complété cette expérience de bien-être et de déconnexion.
Enfin, un immense merci à toute l’équipe. Le personnel a su répondre à toutes nos demandes de personnalisation avec professionnalisme, disponibilité et toujours le sourire. L’accueil est chaleureux, attentionné et sincère, avec la juste dose de présence pour que l’on se sente parfaitement à l’aise.
Bravo à toute l’équipe pour la qualité de son travail et pour cette expérience inoubliable. Nous recommandons le Domaine EcÔtelia à 200 % et nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir. -
