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.

Buongiorno Massimo, grazie mille per la splendida recensione, è davvero gratificante per noi! Siamo felici che il nostro piccolo mondo vi sia piaciuto. Grazie ancora ! Simona e Mauro

winfried

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!

stayed from 09/29/2024 to 10/03/2024

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille Winfried, sono davvero felice che il soggiorno qui da noi vi sia piaciuto. Spero di rivedervi ancora! Un saluto a te e a Bettina. Simona.

giuseppe

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.

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille Giuseppe, sono molto contenta che il soggiorno nel mio B&B ti sia piaciuto e che tu abbia apprezzato la tranquillità del posto. Un saluto e a presto Simona

salvatore

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!

kathrin

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!

stayed from 08/12/2023 to 08/13/2023

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille Kathrin, è stato un piacere conoscervi e spero di avervi ancora qui da me. Un abbraccio e grazie ancora 🙏

francesco

For those who truly want to experience the place and give themselves an experience that reflects the Walser history, here you can find a clean, tidy accommodation with everything you need. All enriched by the welcome and dedication of Simona (the owner), ready to immerse you in the culture and history of the place, accompanying you with breakfasts ranging from homemade cakes every day, bread, butter, honey, jams, fruits, cold cuts, cheeses, and eggs. Get recommendations for unforgettable walks. B&B Hirsch 1609 is a place that leaves a lasting memory! Francesco and Morena.

francesco

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.
