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.

    Superb experience and it pains me a little to take away a star, but I can't avoid talking about the hunters all around the estate who shoot all day long. You can hear the rifles firing and dozens of dogs barking until nightfall. The site is incredible, and the accommodation is very cosy and clean. The wellness area is top-notch and the meal baskets are just right. Special mention for the breakfasts! The welcome is impeccable and the staff very friendly and helpful. An experience I highly recommend for those sensitive to the charms of nature.

    Superbe expérience et ça me fait un peu mal au cœur d’enlever une étoile mais je ne peux pas ne pas parler des chasseurs tout autour du domaine qui tirent à longueur de journée. On entend les coup de fusils et les chiens par dizaines aboyer jusqu’à la tombe de la nuit. Le site est incroyable, les hébergements très cosis et très propres. L’espace bien être est top et les paniers repas largement à la hauteur. Mention spéciale pour les petits dej !! L’accueil est nickel et les employé(e)s sont très aimables et serviables. Une expérience que je recommande vivement pour les personnes sensibles aux charmes de la nature.

    We spent a magical night together in a yurt at Domaine EcÔtelia. The place is absolutely charming, quiet and in the middle of nature, ideal for recharging your batteries and disconnecting from the world. The yurt was very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The welcome was warm, smiling and attentive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A very nice unusual experience that we recommend without hesitation and would love to experience again! 🌿✨

    Nous avons passé une nuit magique en amoureux dans une yourte au Domaine EcÔtelia. L’endroit est absolument charmant, calme et en pleine nature, idéal pour se ressourcer et déconnecter. La yourte était très propre, confortable et décorée avec goût. L’accueil a été chaleureux, souriant et attentionné, ce qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable. Une très belle expérience insolite que nous recommandons sans hésiter et que nous aimerions revivre ! 🌿✨

    Having stayed at the Riad (the accommodation offered by the site), I can tell you that everything was spot-on, from hygiene to human contact. The riad was spotless, and the staff very pleasant and helpful. The staff were even very understanding when I made a mistake and helped me to put things right. ADVICE (if you're looking for an intensely relaxing vacation in a beautiful natural setting with absolute peace and quiet) GO FOR IT, YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!!!! Big heart on the whole ecôtelia team ❤❤ Matthew.S

    Pour avoir profité du Riad (hébergement proposé par le site), je peut vous dire que tout est au rendez-vous, de l'hygiène à l'humain. Le riad était nickel, le personnel vraiment très agréable et serviable. Le personnel c'est même montré très compréhensif suite à une erreur de ma part et m'a aidé à régulariser le problème. CONSEIL (vous souhaitez passez des vacances d'une relaxation intense tout en profitant d'un jolie cadre naturelle et d'une tranquillité absolue) FONCEZ, VOUS ETES AU BON ENDROITS !!! Gros cœur sur toute l'équipe ecôtelia ❤❤ Matthew.S
