About this place

Chesa Fonio

size of property: 160m².The unique patrician flat (>220m2, 6 rooms) in the "Chesa Fonio" is located in the middle of the historic village centre of Sils-Maria. The house, built in 1300, combines beautiful old elements, such as two pine rooms, tiled stoves and vaulted ceilings, with modern fittings and comfort. The immediate proximity to the lakes and mountains, as well as the wide range of cultural and sporting activities on offer, make Sils the ideal holiday destination for families and sports enthusiasts. The flat has 4 bedrooms (3 double beds, 2 single beds) which have all been lovingly furnished and playfully combine modern and old. The master bedroom is a pine room with an additional bench, tiled stove and desk, where you can retreat. The cosy living room invites you to linger and is equipped with a TV and music system. Unique and typical of the patrician style of building in the Engadine is a long, wide hallway with a vaulted ceiling and stone floor, where a festive dining table invites you to enjoy long evenings with family or friends. The well-equipped kitchen and the two bathrooms (shower, bathtub, washing machine, tumble dryer) have been renovated and fulfil the highest quality standards. The "Chesa Fonio" has a beautiful garden including a fireplace for shared use, where you can enjoy the sun in summer as well as in winter until the evening.The flat has four parking spaces directly in front of the house, as well as a garage space in the central car park of Sils. The flat has its own cellar compartment as well as a bicycle, ski and waxing room for shared use.

Excursion possibilities: These mountains. These lakes. This light! On 580 kilometres of hiking trails across all mountains or by mountain bike on 400 kilometres of enjoyable trails: the Upper Engadine offers a first-class network of hiking trails and mountain bike trails amidst the pristine mountain world and the inspiring Upper Engadine lake district. The four flow trails on the Corviglia provide the right flow. The lakes of the Upper Engadin are also popular with sports enthusiasts. Kitesurfing, sailing, windsurfing, stand-up paddling: the possibilities are almost endless. The expanse of the inspiring high valley can be experienced in a particularly impressive way on the two 18-hole golf courses in Samedan and Zuoz. And in addition to the wide range of sporting activities on offer, there are also first-class cultural attractions such as a visit to the museum or the numerous art galleries in the various villages. 350 kilometres of the finest pistes in the Corviglia, Corvatsch and Diavolezza ski areas and the family-friendly Zuoz invite you to enjoy true skiing and snowboarding fun in winter. Cross-country skiers will find over 220 kilometres of groomed trails in the Upper Engadine and the side valleys. The winter hiking trails and cross-country ski trails on the frozen Upper Engadin lakes shine with light, sunshine and vastness in the midst of an inspiring mountain world. Those who want to enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of the snow-covered forests can hike along the 150 km of winter hiking trails in the side valleys of Val Roseg, Val Fex or Val Bever, while those who prefer an overview can enjoy breathtaking views on the panoramic hiking trails high above the lakes on Muottas Muragl.
Families can enjoy the Engadin sunshine on a carriage ride into Val Roseg or Val Fex, or toboggan down into the valley on the 4.2 km long, winding Muottas Muragl toboggan run. Welcome to the Engadin.

Location description: Sils - An enrichment for body, mind and soul Sils is a place of power. This can even be measured. Writers such as Nietzsche, artists such as Beuys and musicians such as David Bowie were inspired by the fantastic expanse and this magical light and contributed to the fact that Sils is now regarded as THE cultural centre in the Engadin. Guests from all over the world and the locals proudly and with good reason refer to Sils as a place of energy and power. Idyllically nestled between Lake Sils and Lake Silvaplana, the village lies at the gateway to the romantic Fex Valley and is the perfect starting point for walks in the vastness of this sun-drenched landscape. In winter, the Fex Valley is best explored by horse-drawn sleigh, while those who want to go higher up will find a variety of hiking and mountain tours on the local mountain, Furtschellas. Sils is also a perfect starting point for winter hikes and cross-country skiing tours through the expanse of frozen lakes, which nestles snugly against the local mountain of Furtschellas. From here, you can quickly get even higher up - to Corvatsch with the highest mountain station in the Eastern Alps (3303 metres above sea level). And from there, 120 pretty sporty kilometres of pistes lead back down into the valley.
