Gaïa Ecolodge in Bergerac: glamping that reinvents camping in Périgord

Since its takeover in 2024, Gaïa Écolodge has taken a deliberate turn towards glamping in Dordogne : less superfluity, more space and a real commitment to calm as a form of luxury.

In Douville, between Bergerac and Périgueux, this 3-star resort, built around a private three-hectare pond and thirteen hectares of protected natural surroundings, focuses on upscale accommodations and pitches designed for outdoor living, rather than a multitude of organized activities. Here, comfort isn't about excess: it's evident in the unobstructed view of the water, the spacious terrace, or the rare tranquility for a campsite.

Premium chalets, the new signature of the estate

Glamping is first and foremost embodied in the premium chalets, which have become the flagship accommodation at Gaïa Ecolodge. Large bay windows, terraces opening onto the landscape, and natural materials: some chalets overlook the pond, offering a feeling of complete privacy by the water. The most spacious model boasts up to two suites and two bathrooms, while more intimate versions feature a large bay window and a view of the pond or the forest.

The resort also offers family mobile homes for travelers seeking the same natural setting in a more traditional format. On-site amenities include a swimming pool, catch-and-release fishing in the private pond, and a friendly snack bar, all without ever becoming overly focused on activities.

A range of pitches to suit all your outdoor needs

Another sign of this repositioning is the diversity of campsites in Périgord, designed for campers, vans and motorhomes as well as glamping enthusiasts. From the simple, wooded Nature pitch to the VIP pitch with private bathroom, kitchenette, deck chairs and double hammock, and including the Comfort and Premium levels, everyone can adjust their level of comfort without sacrificing the freedom of the outdoors.

Another distinguishing feature of the resort is its special welcome for dogs. Awarded the Qualidog 3 truffles label, Gaïa Ecolodge provides a "Doggy Bar" for refreshments, a real bonus for travelers who never leave home without their canine companion.

An approach that sums up the spirit of the place well: a nature glamping where the true luxury remains that of time regained.
