An Engadiner gem hidden up the valley

For those of you who know anyone that attended the famous Lyceum Zuoz, you will probably also have heard them say that it is the most beautiful place they have ever known. Its starry skies are infamous. This is not St. Moritz but it is the Engadine and not far away from the action either. Situated in a beautiful, protected valley, 35 minutes drive from St. Moritz, this property is for those that want a taste of the authentic and who want to be in the countryside and close to nature.

This is an old Chesa, as the large almost castle like domains are called in the Engadine. Built on four floors and recently redone, it mixes the traditions of centuries with modern touches that have found it a place in Architectural Digest. There is a gym and a spa downstairs and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. You are in the middle of the snow fields of a valley in a village of a half a dozen homes, 5 minutes from the main road. This is a place to get away from it all but still have the action of St. Moritz if you want it.
