This family-run (since 1921), dreamy, country-style hotel is a terrific choice, with huge pine-clad rooms, antique-style furniture and forest views from the herb and flower garden. The restaurant focuses on the best cuisine of both Italy and the Engadine, and non-guests are welcome to book the four-course dinner (Sfr54).
