THE BIOCLIMATIC VILLA
AN ECO-DESIGNED ACCOMMODATION FOR A COMFORTABLE RETREAT
THE ACCOMMODATION
Nestled on the edge of the forest, our bioclimatic villa is an invitation to tranquillity, comfort, and disconnection.
Designed with an eco-responsible approach by Bruno Bazire and Pierre Pralus (French pioneers of bioclimatic architecture), our bioclimatic villa offers maximum comfort with minimal impact on the environment.
Here, there is no air conditioning and very little heating. Natural elements – sun, air, and water – regulate the indoor temperature.
A stay that faithfully follows the principles of ecotourism, for a genuine immersion, far removed from conventional offerings.
The comfortable rooms, decorated with natural materials, offer breathtaking views of the landscapes of La Reserve. Large windows allow in the light and make it possible to observe the spectacle of wildlife: Przewalski’s horses, bison, and red deer wandering just a few steps away.
An ideal haven for those who dream of a stay where one can breathe freely, slow down comfortably, and rediscover what the modern world has left behind: the essentials.
The bioclimatic villa is accessible in all seasons, allowing guests to enjoy La Reserve throughout the year.

Practical information
For families:
Should you wish to book a family room, please contact us in advance.
As family rooms are limited in number within the bioclimatic villa, we recommend checking their availability before finalising your booking.
Please note: the online booking system, which is based on a per-person rate, may allocate separate rooms to members of the same family.
For group bookings involving several families:
Please book each room separately, specifying the number of guests for each one.
Otherwise, our system will automatically assign rooms based on the number of available beds, without taking into account the family groupings.
Respect for wildlife:
In order to prevent any risk of transmission of contagious diseases to the animals of La Reserve (brucellosis, Aujeszky’s disease, echinococcosis, etc.), picnics and domestic animals are not permitted on the site.
Therefore, bringing food or drinks from outside is not allowed.
Natural swimming pond:
Reserved exclusively for guests staying at La Réserve, the natural swimming pond is accessible from June to September, every day from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
→ Its water is naturally filtered through the presence of plankton and contains no chemical products. To preserve this balance, sun creams and oils are strictly prohibited.
