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.

    A weekend at the Ecôtelia estate: a journey around the world through unique accommodations. A return to nature in a magnificent setting. We received a wonderful welcome from the very professional and friendly staff; we had a wonderful weekend and would love to come back. A big thank you.

    I surprised my kids with this 2-night stay—they were thrilled! We booked a trailer that was perfect for up to 3 people; the natural pool was a big hit (because there are frogs! Way more fun than a regular pool!!) as well as the breakfast delivered in the morning featuring local products. You have to plan ahead for dinner orders since the meal baskets must be ordered 24 hours in advance, and the nearby restaurants were closed (on Wednesday evenings). This getaway in the heart of nature, just an hour from Bordeaux, was a peaceful oasis that allowed us to recharge our batteries, go hiking, and visit nearby castles.

    J’ai fait la surprise de ce séjour de 2 nuits à mes enfants ils étaient ravis ! Nous avons réservé une roulotte idéale pour 3 personnes maxi, la piscine naturelle a été très appréciée (car il y a des grenouilles ! Plus drôle qu’en piscine habituelle !!) ainsi que le petit déjeuner livré le matin avec des produits locaux. Il faut anticiper la commande des dîners car les commandes de paniers se font 24h à l’avance et les restaurants aux alentours étaient fermés (le mercredi soir). Ce séjour en pleine nature a à peine 1h de Bordeaux était une bulle d’oxygène au calme qui a permis de se ressourcer et faire randonnée et visite de château aux alentours.

    A wonderful project with beautiful results. The staff is welcoming.
    A little too expensive for my taste

    Mr. Lapeyronnie.
    I would have loved to leave a positive review... unfortunately, that won't be the case... First of all, we spent one night in a POD—it was like an oven... The small fan wasn’t up to the task, and the tiny patch of dirt that serves as a garden is very bumpy—it’s hard to walk on.
    The POD is surrounded by hedges that are particularly popular with wasps, making it very difficult to eat breakfast.
    And several items were missing from the breakfast we ordered.
    Regarding the bathrooms: there’s almost no water in the shower, and to make matters worse, the water is hot—no cold water to cool off.
    The pool!! It’s very dangerous to get into the accessible area—the rocks are very slippery and there’s algae, which increases the risk of falls. The water is full of sediment and green algae—not very inviting.
    I therefore do not recommend this place to any future vacationers looking for a relaxing getaway...
    Mr. Lapeyronnie. (Stay from August 12 to 13, 2026.)

    Mr lapeyronnie.
    J'aurais bien voulu donner un commentaire favorable.. malheureusement ce ne sera pas le cas.. premièrement nous avons dormis une nuit dans un POD, UN VRAI FOUR.. le petit ventilateur n'es pas adapté, la petite parcelle de terre qui sert de jardin, est assai bosselé pas évident de marcher dessus.
    Le POD est au milieu de haies particulièrement apprécié des guêpes, prendre le petit déjeuner est très compliqué.
    Et il manquait plusieurs choses sur le déjeuner commandé.
    Au sujet des sanitaires : presque pas d'eau dans la douche, et de surcroît l'eau est chaude.. pas d'eau froide pour ce rafraîchir.
    La piscine !! Très dangereuse pour rentrer a l'endroit accessible, pierre très glissantes et algues dangereuse pour les chutes. L'eau est remplie de dépôt et algues vertes pas très accueillantes.
    Je déconseille donc cette endroit, a tout les futurs vacanciers, en quête de repos..
    Mr lapeyronnie. ( séjour du 12 zu 13 août 2026.)

    We loved it. The breakfast was incredible. We loved the Fidgi cabin, and it's right next to the playground. The staff was very friendly. We'll definitely try to come back!
