A house a stone's throw
from the great maisons.

In the heart of Cognac, behind a stone wall and a paved courtyard, an 1850 house of character. It has kept its period features : parquet, mouldings, marble fireplaces. PASOLA is restoring it to the standards of luxury hospitality: three suites, a child's room, a study, a sport & wellness space, and a room devoted to fine spirits, the world of cognac. Nearly 217 m² of living space. Angoulême is 40 minutes away; Paris 1h45 by TGV to Angoulême; Bordeaux airport 1h35.

Outside, a walled garden of about 150 m² and a courtyard, with a movable-floor pool that preserves the garden's surface. PASOLA makes it its European home: the place where we welcome, around what gave birth to the project : cognac, gastronomy, the blues.

The house opens in soft opening in spring 2027. Before the opening, ten people will be part of it, not one more.
