HESTIA® · Forest Retreat-Shop
Designed as a complete experience.
A turnkey place for the whole family, where you can slow down and unwind.

In the middle of the forest, with no neighbours – total privacy, out of sight, with discreet access to the nearby river.

The space
Inspired by a new vision of hospitality, the experience is built around rituals, well-being, and an intentional approach.

A sober aesthetic, inspired by Japan, where matter, light and balance shape space.

The location is slow to see.

Spa and sauna extend this immersion, in the heart of nature.

* RIVER NEARBY*

Two minutes from Hestia, private access to a small beach on the banks of the L’Assomption River.

Swimming, paddling, fishing, or just enjoying.

A natural extension of the stay.

We are Fanny and Antoine, a couple of dreamers who, at the dawn of our forties, had the crazy project of renovating a chalet to make it a haven of peace. We imagined this place as a turnkey retreat: you just have to drop off your suitcases and relax. Calm, comfort, discreet luxury — everything has been thought of to make you feel good, without having to worry about anything. Welcome to Chalet Hestia! Welcome home!
