Hestia, a private boutique retreat, designed to be a unique experience.
A turnkey space where people come to slow down and unwind.
In the heart of the forest, with no neighbours, offering total privacy away from prying eyes, and 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 understated aesthetic, inspired by Japan, where material, light, and balance shape the space.
The place is experienced slowly.
A spa and sauna further enhance this immersive experience, surrounded by nature.
*THE RIVER NEARBY*
Just two minutes from Hestia, there is private access to a small beach along the L’Assomption River.
Swim, paddle, fish, or simply enjoy yourself.
2 min by car
A natural extension of the stay.
