Maison Zugno
Adult-only slow-tourism retreat. Stone manor meets contemporary design — minimalist interiors, solid wood, natural materials, and a philosophy of space over spectacle. Feels more like staying with exceptionally well-organized friends than checking into a hotel. Zero children, zero pets, zero groups over 6.
The restaurant (now Sève) is open to non-guests — book a table separately even if not staying
Why It Matters
One of the most personal hotel projects in the Jura: owners built it room by room, built the spa themselves during COVID, launched a mystery-menu restaurant, and now run Le Caveau for private Jura wine tastings. The freestanding cylindrical L'Observatoire suite — a Lumipod with a panoramic curved picture window overlooking the Monts de Vaux — is unlike anything else in the region. In 2025 the restaurant is being rebranded as Sève, with Nicolas Zugno himself back in the kitchen.
A former coaching inn built in 1773 on a quiet valley road outside Poligny, Maison Zugno is the passion project of Nicolas and Laurence Zugno, who bought the long-closed property in 2016 at age 25 and spent years rebuilding it from the floors up. The stone facade keeps its strict historical posture; inside is a different story — modern colors, designer furniture, custom walnut millwork, and a contemporary spirit that gets more playful the further you explore. They earned 5 stars in January 2023, scoring 98% of the required points.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
L'Exclusive
The newest addition, opened April 2025 — described as the largest Lumipod model currently installed, and the first of this configuration in France. Located at the back of the park with its own private entrance and parking. The 42 m² space opens onto a private garden and terrace. A private jacuzzi is right outside. Total isolation is the point here.
King · 42 sqm
L'Observatoire
A freestanding cylindrical Lumipod unit at the edge of the famous Monts de Vaux viewpoint, completely separate from the main building. The bedroom faces a vast curved picture window with panoramic valley views — you can watch sunsets, seasonal light changes, and on a good day, a chamois on the hillside. Has its own private access path.
King · 26 sqm
Mezzanine Suite
Two of these in the property, both defined by impressive ceiling height, exposed beams, and a split-level layout. Bedroom and living area occupy separate levels — you choose whether the bedroom goes upstairs or down, and between Scandinavian or Classic Chic style. Park views, lots of natural light.
King · 45 sqm
Nature Room
Three of these rooms, each with park views and a choice of three distinct decors: Scandinavian (clean lines, Nordic calm), Classic Chic (timeless elegance), or Vintage (retro warmth). At 30 m² they're the smallest rooms in the house — functional, stylish, and comfortable, but don't come expecting a lot of floor space.
King · 30 sqmNature Suite
Described as an ode to calm and serenity with soft colors and a warm, relaxing atmosphere. Larger than the Nature Rooms, with park views. Full amenities consistent with the rest of the property.
KingSuperior Nature Room
36 m² of contemporary vintage space with park views and an integrated dressing area — a cut above the standard Nature Rooms in both size and fittings. Bath (not just shower), cozy and calm. A solid choice if the suites are out of reach.
King · 36 sqmThe "Z" Suite
On the top (2nd) floor of the main maison, this is the signature suite. Custom walnut furniture harmonizes with Haussmannian-style moldings — a rare mix of Parisian grandeur and Jura warmth. The standout feature: an expansive private cinema lounge with a large screen, perfect for a rainy evening in the Jura. Park views all around.
