La Nauve, Hôtel & Jardin - Relais & Châteaux

Words fail me to adequately describe how beautiful this hotel is. The renovation has been done in the most exquisite way making everything of the original features and the gardens and pool are just lovely. We always stay in relais and chateau but this hotel must rank as one of their absolute best. We had supper in the brasserie restaurant and all the staff were very attentive and charming and the food very delicious. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Special mention to front of house in reception Antoine who was amazingly helpful. Can’t wait to return.

La Nauve is truly a hidden gem, an unbeatable place that combines elegance, serenity, and thoughtful design. It offers a peaceful retreat where every detail has been carefully curated to create a sense of quiet luxury. The gardens are simply superb, meticulously maintained, the outdoor spaces alone are worth the visit. Each room and common area reflects extraordinary attention to detail. We spent time with our kids enjoying the pool and riding bikes into town. It is the kind of place that makes you slow down and truly relax.

Accommodation charming beautiful equipped with sheer luxury, gardens enchanting, staff attentive and friendly, food divine, location ideal for exploring Cognac. A perfect treat.

Superb service, superb fine dining, unforgettable Sunday breakfast, wonderful staff very helpful and caring. Highly recommended if you are ArtDeco lover.

What a nice atmosphere in this hotel. Once arrived, there was a warm and personal welcome. The room in the annex was well equipped, with seperate bathroom and toilet. Nice terrace for the summer period with quality furniture. We had dinner both nights in the restaurant. In service and meals, some disappointments. No personal contact or any attempt from the staff to engage with their customers. A "mechanical" and little empathy service, while the hotel staff ticked all that boxes. Meals were slightly overpriced. Great and personal breakfast with local products. The low seats for us not so comfortabel. La Nauve hotel highly recommanded !

Gorgeous grounds and accommodations. The woodwork alone in the room lets you know this is not a typical hotel, not even a typical luxury hotel. The staff is beyond accommodating. They arranged in room massages for us upon arrival after our international flight and train rides. The next day they set us up cooking classes as a fabulous restaurant in Jarnac. It’s only a 30-40 minute walk to town center of Cognac. Highly recommend. I should have asked about making the room cooler at night. Finally got up and opened the patio door which made all the difference.
