Overview
The Chalet Heidi is truly unique due to the
breath-taking position in total tranquillity, the historic setting, the
carefully restored original architecture, and the spacious interiors
with the unassumingly elegant cosiness of the design by Castello di
Reschio®.
There is no better place to recover and relax, to enjoy peace and nature and at the same time be very active - away from it all.
Accommodation
Expert
local artisans recently completed a sophisticated two-year restoration
project designed by Castello di Reschio® converting a 300 year old
alpine farm into a unique private holiday retreat. The ancient timber
façade was painstakingly restored; the original roof construction was
dismantled and repositioned with the old wooden nails maintaining this
old tradition. New life and a new destination was given to this historic
farm creating The Chalet Heidi.
This 17th century farmstead
originally consisted of the main Farmhouse, the Mill, the great Hay
Barn, the classic Grain Storage, and the charming Bathhouse. These
buildings remain until today in unchanged position.
The Chalet
Heidi offers on three levels 5 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, an
imposing loft-study adjacent to the master-suite, a fully equipped
kitchen, larder, laundry, ski cellar and a spacious dining & living
area with an authentic plastered stove and under-floor heating
throughout the house. The protected balconies on all three levels add
specific charm and are ideal for a siesta summer and winter, or for
watching the sunset over the mountain range in the purest of air.
An
outdoor hot tub next to the Bathhouse overlooking the valley is great
fun for children, or for a good soak in steaming water with a glass of
glühwein, or a cold beer after a day of skiing, hiking, or touring.

rare and highly protected Lady's slipper, the common Daphne, the yellow

Many of the ancient farmsteads remain active maintaining the characteristic appearance of this region. The traditional farming families, proudly looking back over centuries of independence, continue taking their precious life stock high up the alm, the summer pasture, producing remarkably tasty butter and local cheeses.
