. . . when families retreated to their grand northern estates to spend quality time with family and friends. A time when they lounged in elegant rooms with 12 foot ceilings, majestic fireplaces, splendid brass wall sconces, magnificent chandeliers and impressive woodwork. A time when they slept in romantic spaces with cosy four-poster beds, embroidered duvets, feather top mattresses, a fireplace and private balconies that had spectacular views of the lake. A time when they ate only the purest and freshest ingredients selected for their dining pleasure. A time when their bodies were pampered and their souls were revived.

The Hillcrest brings the soothing elements of nature together to restore the mind, body, and spirit during your stay. Your sensory experience begins from the moment you enter The Hillcrest Valenova Spa, where calming botanical fragrances and soft music greet you. After shedding your daily attire in exchange for a plush cotton robe, take a moment to unwind in one of our lounges or outdoor meditation courtyard. From there, you'll be ready to embark on the journey to total relaxation.

Nowhere else does The Hillcrest fuse art and nature in a more appetizing way than in our culinary creations designed to invigorate your senses. Fresh flavors, surprising food combinations, and striking presentation are the trademarks of every dish, signature chocolate or wine enjoyed here.
