Riverside luxury in the heart of Cognac country — where fine living meets French fairways.
Nestled beside the Charente River in France’s famed brandy region, La Nauve Hôtel & Jardin is an exquisite 19th-century mansion reimagined as a boutique retreat. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and centuries-old trees, the hotel offers a serene blend of heritage and modern elegance just minutes from the centre of Cognac. Its intimate size, refined interiors, and riverside dining make it ideal for travellers seeking quiet sophistication and authentic French charm.
Each of the 12 rooms and suites is individually styled with hand-crafted furnishings, oak floors, and marble bathrooms. Guests can enjoy the hotel’s outdoor pool, peaceful gardens, and signature restaurant showcasing local produce and regional wines. Cognac tastings, vineyard visits, and private river cruises are also easily arranged through the concierge.
For golfers, La Nauve provides an excellent base to explore western France’s most scenic courses. Golf du Cognac lies just 15 minutes away — a beautiful parkland course winding through vineyards — while Golf de Saintes Louis Rouyer-Guillet and Golf de Royan are both within an hour’s drive, offering rolling countryside layouts and coastal fairways respectively. It’s the perfect retreat to pair a taste of Cognac’s heritage with rounds on some of southwest France’s most picturesque courses.
