Hieville, a life project.



When we arrived in Hieville, sleepy, in 2019, our desire was clear: to bring this house back to life, to breathe a soul into it and to share with you an art of living imbued with elegance and refinement. Here, each living room is open to you, each space belongs to you for the duration of your stay.



Passionate about history and aesthetics, we, Stéphane de Pondt de La Faurie, collections coordinator at a major luxury house, and Christophe Desmaillet-Baudon, consultant in financial information systems, have long shared our lives between Paris and the Pays d'Auge.


This castle has given us the opportunity to revive a family heritage: furniture and paintings, preciously kept in storage for twenty years, are now regaining their full place and brilliance, sublimating each room of this exceptional residence



Since our arrival we have undertaken many interior and exterior development works in order to be able to welcome you in great comfort
