Description
The Salis Palace
The Palazzo Salis is located in the north-eastern part of Chiavenna‘s historic centre, on the central Piazza Castello. Its history roots back to the 18th century when it was built by the Salis family from the Grisons as their city residence. Legend says that it was built as a more elegant and decorated contrast to the rather bare Castle Balbiani, which is opposite the Palazzo.

The Palazzo’s principle facade overlooking the garden as well as the sumptuous interiors bear witness to a pure demonstration of rare elegance and ease at the same time. The main part of the villa is represented by a beautiful reception hall which has a rectangular shape and spreads over two floors. Its walls are adorned with mouldings and frescoes offering visitors the possibility to experience a typically Venetian flair.

All the rooms of the palazzo, however, are designed in a Baroque style, kept in green and pink pastel shades, with ceilings richly adorned with Rococo frescoes and decorations. The floors are made of the characteristical stone “pietra ollare” or of marble laid out in black and white checkerboard pattern. A lovely garden with its centuries-old and shade-giving trees complete the unique atmosphere of the Palazzo.

The Bed & Breakfast: charming and enchanting
The Palazzo offers its visitors an unforgettable stay as they are hosted in a plain yet elegant atmosphere: a marble fireplace, antique mirrors and refined decorations create enchanting moments where dream and reality may blur. The rooms have direct access to the garden providing highest liberty and privacy for the guest. The delighting, classical breakfast offering a large variety guests can choose from allows a pleasant start in the day.

A unique and dignifying frame for events
The grand reception hall, which spreads along an imposing balustrade, is an excellent setting for special occasions such as art exhibitions or music events where elegance and atmosphere prevail. The magical atmosphere, which can be breathed in the large spaces of the Palazzo Salis, also creates an enriching and unique surrounding for meetings or conferences, festive receptions as well as for exclusive photo shoots.

Chiavenna: where history, art and nature cross

The small town Chiavenna lies at the foot of the Rhaetian Alps, where the Liro and Mera river valleys cross. Its physiognomy has remained unaltered in centuries, and gorgeous houses, portals and fountains made of the “pietra ollare” witness its illustrious history. It is an excellent area to explore fascinating spots of high naturalistic value and paths steeped in history along the road that connects “Alto Lario” with St. Moritz.

Nice experience in this eighteenth-century palace, it is definitely worth it. Our room was the one on the right that faced the pedestrian passage, so unfortunately not very quiet. Overall, considering the convenient location and the comfortable parking, we will return as soon as possible.

The accommodation, including the park, we liked very much. For 1 or 2 nights it's okay, simple and plain. We deliberately booked only 2 nights to experience a castle-like feeling. It is a very beautiful old historic building. We felt very comfortable. The operators are very friendly and attentive. It was a pity that the shower had little water and was also cold. The value for money was okay. Best regards Erica Mutter until next time.

Staying at the B&B Palazzo Salis in Chiavenna is a truly special experience. The building is very central, still in the old style and only subtly renovated where necessary, allowing you to step into the Rococo era, as if you were staying in a museum. It is clean. The garden is also beautiful. We were allowed to park the car in the garden. So the stay is a beautiful experience. The hospitality is very friendly and personal, the breakfast plentiful and delicious.\nIn line with the old building, there is less comfort than in a modern hotel, for example it is quite noisy, you can hear street noise. However, it is a very special experience!
