Perched above Lake Lucerne, Villa Tauris is a privately owned Swiss villa shaped by architecture, nature and its exceptional setting.

Surrounded by the Swiss Alps, the villa opens to panoramic views across the lake and landscape. At dusk, the illuminated Natural Pool reflects the changing sky, creating a peaceful connection between water, architecture and nature.

A private place to slow down, enjoy the surroundings and experience Lake Lucerne from above.

THE ORIGIN

Crafted in natural stone and defined by clean architectural lines, Villa Tauris was conceived as a private Swiss retreat above Lake Lucerne — discreet, timeless and enduring.

Behind its dark slate façade lies a story shaped by landscape and heritage, including a 100-million-year-old rock formation preserved within the architecture itself.

A residence rooted in its surroundings.
Created to become part of the landscape.

Winter brings stillness.

Snow settles across the alpine landscape, mist drifts over Lake Lucerne, and the Natural Pool remains accessible throughout the year.

From November to April, water temperatures can fall below 10°C, creating ideal conditions for winter swimming and cold-water immersion — an invigorating experience often associated with increased alertness and a refreshing sense of well-being.

Villa Tauris is a retreat for every season.

From winter swimming to warm summer days, nature and water remain part of the experience throughout the year.

THE ESTATE EXPERIENCE

Time at Villa Tauris follows its own rhythm.

Mornings begin above Lake Lucerne, days unfold between nature, water and the Swiss Alps, and evenings settle quietly over the landscape.

Whether returning from a hike, relaxing by the Natural Pool or simply watching the light change across the lake, the experience is defined by space, privacy and time to slow down.

A private place to experience Lake Lucerne at your own pace.
