Schlosshotel Chastè Review

While many Swiss hoteliers are proud to claim a second generation of family ownership, this hidden treasure claims 500 years under the Pazeller family's care. Now a Relais & Châteaux treasure, it started as a farm, then supplied provisions to builders of Tarasp Castle, which looms above. The family has preserved the bulging, sgraffitied stucco exterior, and behind the magnificently carved Arvenholz wood door extraordinary effort has been made to match and modernize. Each room varies a bit: a canopy bed here, an antique trunk there. Rudolf Pazeller himself is the chef and offers a small but sophisticated menu; his fish dishes, such as the "Marriage of perch and char in white tomato sauce on southern vegetables and gnocchi," are outstanding.

The Ultimate SwissChalet
Every inch of this 500-year-old former farmhouse turned hotel is authentic: from the exquisitely carved door at the entrance to in-room stone fireplaces and rural antiques dotting the interior. The scent of Swiss pine throughout enhances the ultimate chalet feeling. Far from the usual crowded tourist centers, Schlosshotel Chastè is a destination unto itself, with a private garden, a small relaxing spa, and magnificent views of the neighboring castle and the surrounding Alps. The 21st-generation owner of the hotel serves elegant Engadine dishes in the cozy restaurant – when he's not taking guests on a hike along the enchanting trails of the region.
