The Experience

You stay in one of the apartments, each with its own outdoor area, or in one of the lovely bedrooms in the main house. All are big enough for sitting and reading comfortably while listening to music through the in-house sound system or simply enjoying the views. All are different, some more modern than others and each has its own bathroom, traditional in style with Italian tiles. The cosy living room has a giant TV for snuggling down and watching a film and the smart dining room has those stunning views.

The apartments have their own kitchens but you can join B&B guests for delicious, freshly prepared breakfasts and suppers. Stevan is passionate about sourcing local ingredients and trawling the markets for seasonal produce. You can just wind down by the outdoor pool, have a sauna and dream about Cognac – you’re bang in the production area.

Potter through the secret pathways in the woods, listen to birds, marvel in the peace.

Reviews

A dreamy place to escape to and so warm and welcoming even out of season. Stevan and Sven are very kind and generous – sharing information about the area and they take time to chat over a coffee and a homemade treat. With big plans to constantly improve and tweak what they already offer to guests, the Relais promises to only get better and better with time – much like a fine Cognac! A real treat.

Location

The neighbourhood

Close by is Jarnac with its Cognac houses and Mitterand connection. Cognac is a half-hour drive, bustling with smart bars and restaurants. You can book an organised vine tour – on an electric scooter if you prefer – with tastings at any one of the vineyards. If you don't want to eat in every night you can treat yourselves to dinner at Aux 4 Saisons in Touzac, a 10-minute drive.
