It can sometimes be a worry when returning to a place which has so many happy memories. Not the case with Le Relais, in fact our stay was even better than last year. Christine's cooking seemed even better, if thats possible, and our leisurely evening meal (with aperitits and wine) will be savoured for a long, long time. This is... More

Wonderful & relaxing holiday in a beautiful location. Madame Christine was a very welcoming host and her cooking delicious especially the home made cakes for breakfast! Our room was just like the picture on the web site, stylish, comfortable and very clean. More

The relais is located in a beautiful setting and is surrounded by Cognac vineyards as far as the eye can see. The scenery is somewhat reminiscent of Tuscany. The relais is a beautifully restored stagecoach post and the rooms are impeccably and tastefully decorated. It is ideally located for exploring the Charente region. The hostess/owner is extremely pleasant, very helpful... More

We spent just one night at Le Relais de Saint Preuil and wished we had had more time. The pool, tennis court and overall environment are wonderful.

This is a really unique experience. The rooms are fabulous, and the setting is gorgeous. But the dinner is the experience. Christine cooks everything herself, using local produce, and serving local drinks.

What a find, tucked away between forest and vineyards the perfect spot for a quiet relaxing time with everything you need on site. Great base for touring the Cognac region. English speaking proprietor who is very attentive (occasionally just a little too attentive) and who makes all the croissants, jams etc. We stayed with 7 other couples during a car... More

I don't want to say too much about this place because I want to keep it for myself! Awesome! Very friendly hosts for whom nothing was too much trouble but left you in peace to enjoy their beautiful and historic Relais. More

We went for a week with our 2 young children ( 8mths and 3yrs) and had a lovely time. The apartment 'Le Phaeton' we stayed in was very comfortable, spacious and well-equipped and beautifully cool when the weather got scorchingly hot outside. The kids loved the pool complete with lots of inflatables and the little playground area, and we went... More

What a wonderful place to stay with excellent accommodation and really friendly owners. Christine is anxious to please and is always attentive. The meals, both evening 'tasting' diner and also breakfast were of the highest quality with most of the food being prepared and excellently cooked by Christine. The Relais is positioned in the middle of the highest quality growing... More
