In the hotel’s own words

Luxury, Health, and Enjoyment: Hand in Hand

"Taking care of yourself is the best way to take care of others." Following the guidance of author Brian McGill, Villa Eden embodies this philosophy. Recognized for its outstanding spa concept and as the best destination spa in Europe, this exceptional refuge, nestled in a private park with only 25 exquisite suites, ranks among the world's leading retreat hotels.

Personally managed as a Leading Hotel of the World, Villa Eden is a special place for discerning guests seeking relaxation without compromising on luxury. Guests have the freedom to indulge in the wonderful oasis of a luxury hotel, pampered by the highest standards of hospitality, or to transform and realign themselves with the first-class, multi-award-winning Eden’s Health Longevity concept.

Managing owner Angelika Schmid enlisted top Italian designers for the complete renovation of the historic estate. Through meticulous craftsmanship, the former private villa was transformed into an award-winning adults-only retreat, now a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. The retreat features 25 luxurious suites, three restaurants, a globally recognized Med-Spa, and extensive wellness facilities. All of this is set within a centuries-old park adorned with Lebanese cedars, cypresses, and palm trees, providing the property with soothing tranquility and privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
