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 place of total disconnection! We stayed in the bubble and it was a moment out of time, with the only sounds being the birds and the wind! It was a very pleasant stay, despite a few mishaps... First of all, there was a leak due to the weather, as it rained non-stop, but the problem was quickly solved by the management. Then there was no coffee in our evening meal basket, even though it was listed on the home page, and finally, at breakfast, our 2 Thermos flasks of hot drinks were missing, so we had to go and get them from the bar. In spite of all this, we had a great stay and would like to thank the estate.

    Endroit de déconnexion totale ! Nous avons logés dans la bulle et ce fut un moment hors du temps avec comme seuls bruits les oiseaux et le vent ! Ce séjour a été très agréable malgré quelques mésaventures … Pour commencer il y a avait une fuite dû au temps car il n’a pas arrêter de pleuvoir, mais le problème a vite était résolu par la direction ensuite pas de cafés dans notre panier repas du soir alors que c’est inscrit sur la page d’accueil et pour finir au petit déjeuner il manquait nos 2 Thermos de boissons chaudes que nous avons dû aller rechercher au bar Malgré cela nous avons passer un super séjour et remercions le domaine

    1 h from Bordeaux, a superb estate with many unusual accommodations. We stayed in the Riad for 2 days. The place is incredible. We were delighted with the breakfast delivered in a basket in front of the accommodation. The natural pool is crazy. Having a spa in the Riad was a huge plus. So there you have it. Don't hesitate to go!

    À 1 h de Bordeaux, superbe domaine avec de nombreux logements insolites. Nous avons séjourné dans le Riad pendant 2 jours. Le lieu est incroyable. On s est régalé avec le petit déjeuner livré dans un panier devant le logement. La piscine naturelle est folle. Avoir un spa dans le Riad était un plus énorme. Enfin voilà on s est régalé. N hésitez pas à y aller!

    Super yurt but we got cold we wanted to turn on the auxiliary heater and there it caught fire 🔥 as it was late we put it outside then in the early morning for breakfast we tried again and there the gas heater catches fire again we warn the manager at the reception, and there surprise 😲 not a word of apology nor travel from him to see where the concern comes from....we could have set fire to his yurt or even die? By this defective stove.....bref the principle of business is to be attentive and considerate, which must not be the 2 adjectives lacking in the management...we will NOT go back there and we don't recommend it either.

    Super yourte mais nous avons eu froid nous avons voulu allumer le chauffage d appoint et là il a pris feu 🔥 comme il était tard nous l avons mis dehors puis au petit matin pour le pt déjeuner nous avons refait un essai et là le chauffage au gaz reprend feu nous prévenons le directeur à l accueil, et là surprise 😲 pas un mot d excuse ni déplacement de sa part pour voir d où vient le souci....nous aurions pu mettre le feu dans sa yourte ou même mourir ? Par ce poêle défectueux.....bref le principe du commerce c est d être à l écoute et prévenant ce qui ne doit pas être les 2 adjectifs qui manquent à la direction...on y retournera PAS et on le conseil pas non plus

    As a couple, we spent just one night in the "pod". We were very well received, the staff were attentive and smiling. This estate is a perfect place to recharge your batteries, and the breakfast was copious and excellent. Special mention for the Bodum piston coffee maker. Clean bathrooms, nothing to complain about! Many thanks to the staff, especially the receptionist. We'll be back again!

    Nous avons, en couple, passé une seule nuit en "pod". Nous avons été très bien reçus, le personnel était à l' écoute et souriant. Ce domaine est un endroit parfait pour se ressourcer, le petit déjeuner était copieux et excellent. Mention spéciale pour le café en cafetière "Bodum" à piston. Sanitaires propres, rien à redire ! Un grand merci au personnel et en particulier, à l'agente d'accueil. Nous reviendrons !
