Villa Alma (Männedorf)

Villa Alma - a lifestyle filled with security and harmony

Whether you are looking for a home for yourself or a loved one for the new stage of life - Villa Alma opens up the most beautiful prospects for enjoying growing older.

Alone or with your spouse ...

... Here you simply feel at home, once one of the beautiful spacious rooms - if you want - is furnished with your own furniture, you have taken possession of the wide common areas and have made the acquaintance of the other pensioners. After the first walk through the park, one feels integrated into the community life, which we know how to arrange for our guests in the most pleasant way.

**A house with style ...

It is quite natural that the upscale lifestyle of the builder of this villa also characterizes the style of our house. The distinctive architecture, antiques and paintings add to the charm of our small, fine retirement and nursing home. It is a jewel on the lake.

In a unique location ...

Located directly on the Gold Coast, our home offers a beautiful, unobstructed view of Lake Zurich and the Glarus Alps. Whether from your room, the terrace or the associated monument-maintained park, the sight of a unique backdrop awaits you here.

And only the kitchen ...

Of course, love goes through the stomach also in our family household, which means that we give special importance to the kitchen - the preparation of the individually selected or the special dietary requirements adapted, varied and imaginative meals. Also, the meals are served in the rooms or in the festive dining room, according to your wishes.

The imponderable and the price ...

The personal care and nursing services are of course part of our offer, as they are the basis of the human contact that is, after all, our concern. It goes without saying that the attentions that we believe a guest is entitled to are included in the price of the pension. Special services, which require more effort and cannot be added to the general rate, are listed under offer.

**The Villa

The villa, which is neo-Gothic in style and thus inherits ancient stylistic elements, blossoms with vital forms of the most modern art movement of the 19th century, Art Nouveau. In addition, the style is intrinsically linked to nature, which means that the park surrounding the villa responds to the architecture in a completely different way than the usual garden romanticism. The facades, richly structured with oriels, balconies and verandas, are extremely carefully worked. This is matched by the elaborate design of the interior of the two-story hall and the representation and living rooms oriented towards it; everything is of exquisite quality, floors and ceilings, wainscoting and doors mirrors and lights, glittering from room to room.

**The surroundings

The unique location of our villa in the large park on the shores of Lake Zurich means that the daily and yearly routine is particularly linked to the varied play of nature. During the cold season we pay special attention to cosy warmth in all rooms, and when the summer lies glowing over the lake, the tall trees and the deep rooms provide cooling.
