Dating back to the 1800s and recently renovated with attention to detail, the B&B offers breathtaking views of an unspoiled natural landscape, surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and lush valleys.

The rooms, tastefully furnished in Alpine style, convey a welcoming warmth due to the skillful use of wood. Two cozy options, a double room and a quadruple room, are equipped with modern comforts, including renovated bathrooms, hairdryers, TVs, and internet connection.

In this charming B&B, the garden and terrace offer a refuge for those seeking moments of relaxation outdoors, while the multilingual and always available owners take care of guests with warm and attentive hospitality. Simona, in particular, is the go-to person for any need, ensuring a personalized and comfortable stay.

The location of B&B Hirsch 1609 is strategic for those wishing to explore the area: the famous Terme di Premia and the Sagersboden chairlift are easily accessible, as are the ski slopes and hiking trails. Nature lovers can fully experience the enchantment of the valley, characterized by spectacular waterfalls and breathtaking views, while the proximity to typical restaurants allows guests to savor the local culinary tradition.

Our host Simona spoiled us throughout our stay thanks to her welcome, her efficiency regarding hiking or walking tips, her knowledge of the Formazza valley, her truly delicious breakfasts, the very good upkeep of her beautiful house. The small hamlet of Chiesa is charming.

A wonderful accommodation and a wonderful hostess - Thank you, Simona, for the advice, hospitality, and the great breakfast with homemade delicacies (finally not a breakfast buffet!). Nearby, there are fantastic hiking trails and family restaurants, Simona knows half of the valley and can give excellent tips!

The stay at Simona's place was wonderful. The quadruple room is beautifully furnished and the bathroom is top modern. In addition to towels, hygiene products, and a kettle with tea, there was also a TV. However, we didn't use it because we preferred to enjoy the beautiful garden. Simona took exceptionally good care of us. The contact via Whatsapp went smoothly and she even drove us to a restaurant for dinner. Our highlight was the breakfast: rich, delicious, and with homemade products. Thank you very much!

We stayed for two nights in this structure and although we are not used to reviewing, for Simona we make an exception: everything was top-notch, from the attentive but always discreet welcome to the simply wonderful structure and the incredibly curated breakfast. The environment is sober but elegant, and the renovation, tasteful yet strictly respectful of traditions, is thanks to the owners, true artists because, paraphrasing Saint Francis, those who work with their hands are workers, those who work with their hands and with their minds are artisans, but those who work with their hands, minds, and hearts are artists. Absolutely not to be missed: unique! Thank you for this slice of happiness that you have given us.

I read the previous reviews and to be brief, I add that I agree on everything positively. Someone gave nine for the location, I preferred a ten because I love tranquility and little confusion. Moreover, with about 30 minutes of a splendid walk along a stream surrounded by beautiful scenery (on a paved road reserved for pedestrians and cyclists) you can reach the village in no more than three minutes by car.

Historic structure from 1609, enchanting and well preserved, in the heart of Val Formazza, in a tiny village a stone's throw from the river. Clean and meticulously cared for room, equipped with a kettle and courtesy herbal teas. The breakfast was excellent and abundant, composed of local products and cakes made by the lady, truly delicious. As for the welcome, what can I say, it was exceptional. We really felt pampered! Much appreciated their willingness to meet our requests, and their friendliness.

Fantastic experience. A beautiful Walser house in a small hamlet in Val Formazza is what made our vacation beyond expectations. Simona is the best. Friendly, down-to-earth, super helpful, and with golden hands: every morning, for breakfast, you will be pampered with her delicacies. From the eggs of her hens to the honey from her bees, passing through homemade jams, brioches, plum cakes, and cakes: everything made by them is exceptional as well as the proposals of ricotta, cheeses, and cold cuts. The room is very cozy and clean: there is everything you need and more. Highly recommended to all those looking for a place to relax, sleep well, from where to start trekking and a short distance from the most suggestive points of Val Formazza. Congratulations Simona!

A place of peace, truly a stress-free stay, in a wooden room of an ancient Walser house (over 400 years of history!). The owner and her family are people of great friendliness, education, availability, and generosity. The cleanliness is perfect, nothing is missing. The breakfasts are special: every day Simona prepares homemade sweets with her hands with taste and imagination, as well as local typical products. We had a great time!

We stayed in a room for 4 people very well cared for in the furnishings in classic Alpine style in a beautiful Walser building very well renovated. Wonderful welcome from the two owners, almost like being with family! Abundant, excellent and well assorted breakfast with local products and homemade desserts and plentiful! It will be included in the list of favorite B&Bs.
