Company info
Behind Villa Kapellmatt is a young and dynamic team with a shared vision: to create a place where guests feel not like visitors, but like friends. Simone, Beat, and Anouk run the villa with heart, creativity, and a genuine passion for hospitality – personal, approachable, and always attentive to your needs.
What inspires us most about hosting are the encounters. The small moments during breakfast in the garden, the shared smile after a perfect day by the lake, or conversations at sunset – these are what make Villa Kapellmatt so special. We love giving our guests a true break from everyday life, offering a place where peace, nature, and lightness take center stage.
Our lakeside location, combined with a sustainable mindset and regional products, reflects our personal values: enjoying consciously, slowing down, and appreciating the simple things again. Whether you need recommendations for the best spots around Vitznau, tips for a relaxed SUP tour, or simply a good cup of coffee in our garden café – we are always happy to help.
Our philosophy is simple: you shape your stay. Whether active on the water or relaxed in the garden overlooking the lake, we provide the setting while you set the pace. Many guests return because they value this feeling – arriving, letting go, and feeling completely at ease.
We look forward to welcoming you personally to Villa Kapellmatt.

Neighborhood info
Villa Kapellmatt is located right in the center of Vitznau – and at the same time directly on the shores of Lake Lucerne. This unique combination is what guests appreciate most: short distances within the village paired with an exceptional natural setting right outside your door. Here, your day begins with a view of the water and ends with a breathtaking sunset over the mountains – often enjoyed directly from your balcony or the garden.
The region around Lake Lucerne is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Switzerland, offering the perfect mix of relaxation, outdoor activities, and excursions. A particular highlight is a trip up Mount Rigi, known as the “Queen of the Mountains,” which you can easily reach from Vitznau. Whether hiking with panoramic views, enjoying lakeside walks, or taking a boat trip across crystal-clear waters, there are activities for every season.
Right by the villa, you can dive into the lake, set off on a SUP or canoe tour, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Food lovers will appreciate the cozy restaurants, regional specialties, and charming cafés in Vitznau and nearby areas. For a more vibrant atmosphere, the city of Lucerne is just a short trip away, perfect for a day filled with culture, shopping, and historic charm.
A true insider tip is the early morning by the lake: when the water is perfectly still and the first rays of sunlight illuminate the mountains, you experience the region at its most peaceful and beautiful. This unique blend of nature, relaxation, and experiences is what makes a stay at Villa Kapellmatt so unforgettable.
