Chesa Salis, Bever – St. Moritz / Switzerland
The house, built in 1590, was later given the typical Engadin adornments (“Sgrafitti”)
The beautiful stucco elements in the “Salis” room (no. 26) date back to the Biedermeier era.
The cosiest room: the snuggeries with lots of old wood.
Modest, but beautiful: a spare bed in the “Rodolfo”-room.
The “Rodolfo” (room 28) in panelled Swiss pine wood.
There are a total of 18 holiday rooms in Chesa Salis.
A further highlight: the modestly upheld “conservatory” in the veranda room.
It goes without saying that there is fine dining to be had in Chesa Salis
Chesa Salis is one of the few rays of hope in the built up luxury garden that calls itself St. Moritz. Even though the house dates back to 1590 and many original elements are still present, it doesn’t make a weathered impression. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Chesa Salis is situated on the edge of Bever (1714 a.s.l.), a small, peaceful suburb of the famous St. Moritz, near Samaden airport. Of course even Chesa Salis can’t free itself from the flair of this mecca for winter sports, which is immediately noticeable in the lobby, where the house is characterised with a few chicelements. The reception does not belong to one of the most beautiful we have ever seen, but we suppose that’s a matter of taste. On the other hand, the rooms are stunning: The Rodolfo room for example, is a jungle made out of Swiss pine wood. Even though the hosts, Sibylla und Jürg Degiacomi have strewn a few modern accessories around the place, but all in all: very cosy and authentic, because Chesa Salis is quite a historical place. This Engadiner patrician house dates back to the year 1590 and belonged to the estate of the Engadine nobility, the von Salis family. The outside facade was adorned with the typical Engadine sgraffiti by the architect Nicolaus Hartmann in the year 1880. The structure is basically just painted on. However, the stucco is real in the bright Salis-room, which manages without any wood at all.
Ideal for:
A peaceful, but stylish St. Moritz-sojourn.
