Staying at Camphinie

Nato Victoria, BC, Canada
Review Submitted: July 26, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We spent three weeks at Camphinie and it was superb. The place is a true gem. The owners went to some extraordinary efforts renovating this old farm house to make the place what it is. There were many great features and the house was very spacious. We particularly liked the open plan kitchen and the outdoor showers. The setting for the house is nothing short of outstanding! The mornings on the front porch and the evenings on the back overlooking the valley were idyllic. The French countryside at its best!
The place was well stocked with everything one needs to be staying away from home for weeks on end as well as very clean and well maintained. There were great sights in every direction including lovely walking in the immediate vicinity. A car was essential for accessing the Lot and Dordogne regions. Don't hestitate to spend some time at this lovely home!

Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Once again we returned to Camphinie, the most comfortable, relaxing holiday home we have ever stayed in. The location is quiet, rural and undisturbed. The accomodation is comfortable, stylish and understated. The views are vast and open, a place where you can really unwind, the nights are dark and the stars are spectacular. The owners have made the house easy to just move in and relax, books and maps of the area tempt you to explore the nearby sights. The local (La Bastide-Murat) market at the end of every month and the Cahors market on Saturday are a treat to delight any foodie. It's a real pleasure to stock up and come home to Camphinie and enjoy the long evenings outside on the patio with good food and fabulous Cahors wine.
There is a free wi-fi connection and it helps if you are not french speaking to research the area on your laptop to find out what is going in in the nearby towns - there is so much going on in the warmer months.
Don't hesitate if you are thinking of France for your holiday, this home feels like your own, it was just perfect for us.

Superb...maravilloso...extraordinaire...

Yuval California, USA
Review Submitted: April 14, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We always choose this kind of renting for our vacations with my familly (2 young kids). And it is my best choice done during the last years. Everything is perfect! You have just to unpack your baggage and everything is ready to spend wonderfull holidays! If you still hesitate between several listings, don't go further and select this one :) You will not have any regrets! The owners didn't save neither money nor effords to create a real home for themselves while on vacation, and you feel it every minute of your stay; in the yard, kitchen and especially in the ultra comfortable beds with great duvets and linen.

la palabra para describir el lugar ha sido maravilloso, el trato del propietario magnifico y un detallazo en todos los sentidos, le aconsejo a todo el mundo que alquile la casa porque no se arrepentiran, nuestra gran pena es no haber podido disfrutar otra semana mas de ella. EStamos muy contentos con todo.

Une maison charmante et parfaitement équipée au calme, en pleine campagne...Nous y avons passé deux semaines reposante et avons découvert toutes les ravissantes petites villes des environs.C'est aussi très bien situé pour visiter la Dordogne etc.... Un grand merci à David pour sa gentillesse !!!
