Perched high in the heart of the Swiss Alps, Villa Hundert stands as a beacon of serenity and elegance, a testament to the collective vision of two Nordic souls, John and Christian, and the spirited Canadian, Anna Lisa. Together, they share a passion for life’s authentic pleasures – the art of savoring exquisite cuisine, the love for nature in all its raw beauty, the thrill of gliding down snow-kissed slopes, and the joy of fostering genuine connections among people. In the quaint village of Engelberg, they found their sanctuary, and from this base, they have crafted Villa Hundert, a place where dreams intertwine with reality, and where heartfelt experiences are born.

Villa Hundert is more than a retreat; it is an oasis where the essence of life is distilled into every moment. With a profound vision of creating enduring memories, the hosts invite guests to immerse themselves in a "from heart to heart experience."

The villa's nine meticulously curated rooms serve as cocoons of comfort and luxury, accommodating up to 20 souls. Stepping inside, guests are enveloped in the embrace of clear Nordic design, a marriage of simplicity and sophistication. Wood and natural materials adorn the interiors, creating an ambiance that feels both familiar and extraordinary, where every corner whispers tales of understated elegance.
