Cinema Mornings and Evenings Come to Villa Honegg
From autumn, the Swiss resort pairs classic film screenings with carefully composed meals, transforming leisurely days into moments of genuine cinema culture.

There is something rather marvellous about watching a film before lunch, the morning light still holding the world outside whilst you surrender to the particular enchantment of the cinema. Villa Honegg, that serene sanctuary perched above the landscape of central Switzerland, has rather cleverly understood this. Beginning in October, the resort offers two distinct ways to experience cinema culture, each paired with thoughtfully prepared meals.
The Honegg Kino Matinée unfolds on weekend mornings. A generous breakfast arrives at half past ten, followed by the film at eleven o’clock. By the time the final credits have rolled, your palate is ready for a three course lunch, completing a morning that feels both indulgent and unhurried. This is the cinema experience as it once was: a civilised, multi layered affair that asks you to settle in and stay awhile.
For those who prefer their cinema in the quieter hours of evening, Sunday screenings from October through March offer an altogether different rhythm. The day begins to soften at four o’clock with a welcoming apéro, followed by the film at half past four, and concluding with a three course dinner as daylight fades into dusk. It is an evening shaped by the cadence of storytelling, of visual narrative unfolding as the world outside grows calm.
Both experiences are designed with genuine attention to detail, the collaboration with Kino Buochs bringing genuine cinema culture to the mountain resort. This is not cinema consumed hastily in the margins of a day, but rather woven intentionally into the fabric of it, with food and film in genuine conversation with one another.
The resort itself, with its commanding views and considered elegance, provides the perfect setting for these afternoons and evenings. The cinema experience here feels less like entertainment consumed and more like time genuinely inhabited, moments that settle into memory because they have been given proper space to breathe.
