What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
In a bucolic landscape filled with farmhouses, Villa Flor stands out both in architecture and character.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Centuries-old farmhouses line the quiet streets of S-chanf, and hiking trails lead straight into the Swiss National Park.
The rooms
Bedrooms have original Swiss stone pine floors and cast-iron stoves, beneath restored ceiling frescoes or vaulted timber beams.
The spa & gym
At the table
Regional three-course dinners are prepared on request, served at a communal table in the cellar tavern.
Designed to feel like you’re staying in a (very fashionable) friend’s home, owner and former gallerist Ladina Florineth’s century-old, art nouveau villa is filled with heirloom- and flea market-found décor.
How it began
A local confectionery family built the villa in 1904 after returning from Italy, keeping it private for over a century.
