“A 19th-century neoclassical villa turned luxury hotel on the riverside in Cognac. Think modern Murano glass chandeliers, pale marble, warm wood panelling and soft neutral tones. Boasting a chic restaurant, stylish bar, and extensive lush gardens, it's a perfect mix of elegance and relaxation. ”

La Nauve Hôtel & Jardin
The gates of La Nauve will swing open at your approach to reveal a bucolic scene—a blindingly white 19th-century neoclassical villa that might almost have been transported from one of the more salubrious corners of Surrey, flanked by two barely less picturesque outbuildings of similar vintage originally used for cognac production, set in 12 acres of lawn and garden, dominated near the centre by a mighty and awe-inspiring sequoia.
