 “In Chateau Hestia, we just do not give you a restaurant but we also give you a feeling that you are in your own home. In this half a hectare property surrounded with lush greens, you can enjoy and entertain your own guests with our authentic European cuisine in a country-style but elegant setting.

Johannes Zehethofer, a native of Vienna, Austria, brings to the Filipinos this unique European experience. It started with his travels all-over the world, his fondness to entertain his friends, his love for wine and good food — the result was a love affair!

 At Chateau Hestia, he offers different dishes from his collection of recipes and lets them be enjoyed with his carefully-chosen wines – all in a homey atmosphere where he personally hosts his guests.

Truly like the Goddess’ sacred fire, the experience never dies out!”

A charming European dining experience in a typical Philippine setting. If you love wines and desserts then this is the perfect place for you.

The place is also a bed and breakfast place, but there are only 2 cottages available. The cottages are comparable to that of our katutubos houses where the rest room is located at the ground floor. I super love their shower room with an outdoor feel.

We had a short chat with the owner Mr. Zehethofer and I quoted him saying with a foreign accent ” I am also the Chef and the Engineer kaya dahan dahan lang”
