Like a nest perched above the Borne valley, with the Aravis mountains as a backdrop, our large apartment accommodates up to 6/8 guests. Here, no Wi-Fi, but an XXL mountain view for a true digital detox and a return to basics. We favoured open spaces and conviviality with a large central living-kitchen and 2 closed bedrooms (1 Queen Size double bed, 1 twin with 90 x 190 cm beds), plus additional sleeping on 140 x 190 cm sofa beds. Discover the low-techs of our 1000 Borne Caffè ecotourism project. Daily baking kit (fresh bread and local or homemade specialities) included.
Here, we invite you to slow down, reconnect with what matters, and free yourself from the constant demands of daily life during your stay. Less screen time, more presence: with yourself, others, and nature.
We are convinced that nature is the best ally to cultivate serenity — and regain a calmer, more balanced focus.
Thus, wood, preferably local or from renovated traditional farms, crafted by local artisans, features prominently in our spaces. Our hypnotic blue-grey clay-limestone soil inspired us to combine it with lime-based mineral plasters tinted with natural pigments.
We prioritise eco-building principles such as wood wool, hybrid materials, phytopurification, heat pumps, and reuse to reduce our project's environmental impact and offer you healthier accommodation — aligned with our values and your need to disconnect.
Dry toilets, Norwegian pot cookers, Bokashi composters, solar ovens… in our cottages, we also want to introduce you to low-tech solutions: fun, effective, and sustainable setups that cleverly conserve resources while promoting a simpler lifestyle, ideal for a “digital detox”.
Around you, we arrange the environment guided by permaculture principles, aiming both to inspire amazement at abundance and to allow you to enjoy it fully, free from unnecessary distractions.
You can also rest your car during your stay, and even put your phone aside. Enjoy our electric-assisted bike park, including cargo models, to explore our beautiful area at your own pace.
