Villa Hundert is all about stunning views in the heart of an alpine landscape, they call it a mountainscape.
An escape amidst the mountain panorama, gentle meadows, waterfalls as a slowdown idyll.
A new beginning for Anna Lisa, John & Christian, a Canadian and two Nordic guys who share the same passion – the passion for authentic experiences through food, wine and storytelling.
The VILLA HUNDERT feels naturally holistic - a place of smooth rhythm. The food is an ever-changing 4-course plus menu from locally sourced and self-foraged produce. The wine is expressive, true to its terroir and yummy. The vibe is relaxed yet somewhat luxurious without fuss.
Light in nature creates a movement of colours.

Slowdown value: Passion for bringing people together
The most cherished time is the time we spend with the people we love and when we create everlasting memories. In the world of a technology-driven society, the biggest luxury is knowing how to disconnect and remain human. And to feel and live all the sweetest things we can create and share when we enjoy the awareness of people around us. Charismatic host, John & Christian moved from the Scandinavian north to the small Swiss village of Engelberg and together with Anna Lisa, they created a place where people come together and enjoy life with a “from the heart to heart” experience”.

"It’s not too little time we have, it’s too much time we’re not using."
Slowdown value: Cozy Nordic design
Villa Hundert offers 9 rooms in a clear Nordic design. A mastermind behind the interior design is Anna Lisa, who created a cozy feeling using quiet design details, wood, and natural materials that create a bright and warm ambiance. Christian fills the Villa amongst many other details, with his wonderful welcoming and beautifully handpicked flower arrangements. John inspires our taste buds and lightens the dining room with the stories behind his dishes. All these characteristics and the calming panoramic views over the Engelberg mountains automatically invite you to relax.

The ambiance is easy and comforting, yet somewhat luxurious.
Suites with "slowdown effect"
The 4 suites are like small apartments for cultivating a slow life. The rooms are spacious and cozy and the "slowdown effect" is the view towards the mountainscapes that seem so close and almost touchable. From relaxing lounge chairs or from the balcony, just watching the clouds dance by, an ultimate slowdown moment ...
The Villa Hundert
inhales peace and exhales serenity.
Slowdown value: Mountainscape
An escape to freedom, away from the noise that surrounds us every day in the cities and big villages. Villa Hundert is a pure “slowdown” getaway from everyday routines and the usual surroundings, having everything on the tip of your hand. Up here you only have nature, fresh air, and silence as Villa Hundert is located at 1218 meters above sea level on the sunny southern slope above Engelberg. A quiet area only a few steps away from the most beautiful hiking/biking trails and ski slopes of the Brunni Bahn and Titlis adventures.

Slowdown value: An uncompromising comfort and place to enjoy the balcony culture of sitting and quietly taking in the breathtaking alpine views
Villa Hundert inspired us from the moment we entered the Villa. The feeling of warmth of a home and the feeling of comfort jump into your arms. When you are introduced to the villa, you get goosebumps of happiness - a sign that it is even better in person than in the images you see.
This is the essence of the "slowdown" experience. The spacious rooms, which offer the comfort of Nordic design, impress with details that make the room luxurious with the vibe of a true sanctuary for relaxation and calmness. The suites are extremely generous, almost like a whole flat. All rooms of the Villa Hundert offer the uncompromising comfort, design and warmth of a friendly retreat with spectacular views of the Engelberg mountainous terrain.
Villa Hundert's interior is ready for you to enjoy a "slowdown" ambiance with cozy furnishings and charming details that make you feel relaxed, even if you don’t leave your room.

Slowdown value: Take a bath
In the suites, the bathroom is an important part of the "slowdown" experience. Spacious and elegantly decorated, it invites you to run a warm bath and enjoy mini wellness rituals with the little-gifted extras of handcrafted bath salts. Plan to take a mellow soak, as the bathroom setting invites you to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of wine with views of the slopes covered with green meadows or snow-kissed powder snow, regardless of the season, the bathroom moods are always inviting.

CHRISTIAN & JOHN, VILLA HUNDERT
Slowdown value: Wine that touches and opens the conversation
Wine is always about storytelling and stories connect people. Christian and John have their way of "slowing down" the guests with real feasts. Their passion for hospitality starts with the selected wines and local ingredients that invite you to surrender your feelings. The focus of the wine list is on artisanal mountain wines from Switzerland and neighboring countries, but you will also find a few delicacies from the lowlands.

A strong focus on seasonal products allows the flavors to ring in harmony with what the guests see outside the window. At the heart of their cooking lies a strong belief in kitchen ethics.

No pleasure is temporary, because the impression it leaves behind is permanent.

"We serve a constantly changing surprise course menu." VILLA HUNDERT
Slowdown value: Slow lounging
It could be called a room of good and relaxed vibes. The Villa Hundert grand lounge on the upper floor is the treasure of the villa, it's where relaxation comes spontaneously.
With relaxed furnishings, a gentle color scheme, and the most beautiful view of the surrounding slopes, this is a grand room that wows guests the first time they walk in. High vast, almost cathedral-like, wooden beamed ceilings make it a perfect place to read a book or magazine. If you don't have your book or magazine, you might find it here, and also that time to read it. Play a game of chess or just enjoy the company. It all feels so easy here.
