Located in stunning Les Épesses woodland, close to the famed Puy du Fou theme park, Terragora Lodges is both an eco-village and a tranquil haven of creativity.

You’ll find a uniquely imaginative selection of accommodation here, along with a friendly and sociable atmosphere that will leave you feeling immediately relaxed. Attention to detail is paramount, and there are plenty of artful touches all around to delight your senses.

Whether you choose to stay in a wooden hut, a suspended lodge or a clay cabin, you can sit back and enjoy stunning scenery from the comfort of your private terrace. If you’re in the mood to make new friends, there are plenty of areas to congregate too, including a comfy lounge and an all-important wine bar!

Each of the three lodges, Chrysalis, Borrow and Water Lily, feature a private bathroom and a beautifully decorated sleeping area. Chrysalis, with its delicately-woven ‘scales’ and a terrace that ascends into the treetops, will make you feel like an emerging butterfly each morning!  

Meanwhile, the Borrow Lodge is created from hand-crafted clay domes, with a bed that blends into the alcove. Set on the edge of a pond, Water Lily is a beautiful zinc lodge that resembles a Cubist painting.

The huts are all reminiscent of more refreshing, natural times past – ideal for that authentic country holiday feel. Shared bathroom facilities are close by, and each hut is both individually styled and ridiculously cosy.

Aborescente Hut looks out across the valley, from its position at the heart of an ancient tree. The twin Idyll Huts are ideal for a small group, with a backdrop of wild cherry trees and briar roses.  Finally, The Nest is secluded amongst the trees, for that feeling of truly being at one with nature.
