Sustainability, health and well-being are placed at the core of Maison Caprera. We use sustainable local products and avoid the use of plastics wherever possible. Our intention is to develop our existing orchard and potager (kitchen garden) to be able to offer organic home-grown produce to guests. Any suggestions, tips or feedback that will help us to achieve our goals are always welcome as we strive to provide our guests with an unforgettable holiday.

Our wide knowledge of the Eymet area – plus our passion and experience of the Dordogne affords us the ability to offer you ideas and directions, should you need guidance to enable you to make those very important holiday decisions. We are available to call or email pre stay or on hand (we live in a side wing on the premises to maintain the property) for questions during your stay at Caprera, otherwise your privacy is completely your own.

Plenty to do in the local area and easy to get to...

Maison Caprera is the perfect place for a family or group summer holiday, for those who desire somewhere special to unwind or to celebrate a family occasion. We’re a 25 minute drive from Bergerac airport, served daily from UK and Europe in high season, or take the train from Bordeaux. Car hire options are available in the area or bring your own if you’re staying longer than a weekend to get the most out of this stunning part of France.

Once you’ve arrived at Maison Caprera, the five acres of grounds provide a nature walk along the river Dropt, a great place for artists, photographers or even for a spot of fishing (a licence can be purchased locally). A rowing boat seating four is available for your use at your own risk – life jackets must be worn and can be provided. Electric bikes can be hired from the village, and there is a lovely riverside park for runners with outdoor gym and children’s play area for the very energetic only 5 minutes away. During the months of July and August the Dordogne is buzzing with food, craft, wine festivals and night markets. There is so much to do and see in the immediate area, and further afield, and plenty of restaurants, shops and cafés in Eymet just a stroll away.
