A stay at the farmhouse in Lacam is a memory to savor for a lifetime. It is the perfect place for a poet’s retreat.The stunning views from the balcony are a feast for the eyes, while the well appointed kitchen has every amenity for my wife who is an avid cook, including cookbooks from the region. We were able to pick fresh plums, chestnuts and herbs from the well maintained grounds. There are nearby markets where you can buy fresh produce, and you are right in the heart of the district that contains the most beautiful villages and vineyards in the mountains of southern France. As we stayed in early autumn, a drive for a dip in the Dordogne was magical.To wake up in a comfortable bed in the loft, to a view of the valley, is an unforgettable experience. Every spare corner on both floors has a comfortable chair with adjacent bookshelves and a reading light. The bathroom facilities are modern with excellent water pressure and the entire house is well maintained to very high standards of cleanliness.Our hosts communicated very clearly, and their hospitality and that of the grounds keepers was much appreciated. So, if your dream is to experience a peaceful and private retreat far from the tourist gaze in southern France, this rustic traditional farmhouse will exceed your wildest dreams.
