Regal, imposing and atmospheric
Located on a peaceful riverside estate just downstream from Cognac's Old Town, is the restored distillery and adjacent Belle Époque country house La Nauve, Hôtel & Jardin. The palatial white mansion serves as the main building and is even more imposing inside than out, with light-colored marble, a romantic staircase and modern Murano glass chandeliers. Most of the elegant rooms and suites are located here, while the rest can be found in the adjacent restored barrel warehouses.
