Haus 151 um 1966

Your holiday home in Soglio

Formerly the house was called Casa von Paepcke (that’s the name of my grandfather, who bought the house in the 1960s). As there are no street names in Soglio, the postal address is Casa 151, 7610 Soglio.

It is located between neighboring houses on the eastern edge of the village Soglio. The location on the mountainside offers a clear view over the mountain landscape and the roofs of the village.

Built from solid natural stone 300 years ago, the house was restored in the 1960s by making sure to harmonize history with functionality. The interior comprises mostly wood, but also the typical Bergeller granite, as it has been used in this region for generations.

HIGHLIGHTS

The image of the village has withstood time: old farmhouses and baroque palazzi with gray granite roofs, stone fountains and narrow cobbled streets.
Soglio is also known for its chestnut groves.

In this magnificent mountainous alpine world, an intact cultural landscape, free from through traffic, you can spend wonderful holidays.
The house is called “151” because there are no street names in Soglio … and cars come from visitors only for loading and unloading in the village.
(Paid parking at the village entrance)

The Bergellers know each other, yet they are open to guests from all over the world.

The official language is Italian. The inhabitants speak Bergeller dialect * and also German.

* e.g. “Good night = Bona Nütsch

1000 meters, then you are at the Albigna Reservoir, – on foot or by cable car.
From Soglio you can enjoy the view of the Sciora group with the Pitz Badile, which belongs to the
one of the most famous climbing mountains in the Alps.

After 5 kilometers you are in Italy, – after 30 km on Lake Como with palm trees and beach.

Do you want to be fashionable? St. Moritz is only 38 km away.

My father drew the house for us a few years ago. We hope it helps you to find your way around.
The drawings have no claim to scale and completeness.

LAGE & UMGEBUNG

Soglio
The widely visible village church is of course the landmark of Soglio. It is from the 15th century.
You should also visit the Hotel Palazzo Salis. The palazzo, surrounded by a wonderful historical garden, guards the charm of bygone days.
Take a hike through the light chestnut forests below Soglio:
You could go to the border town of Castasegna and start up again after eating a chestnut cake.

Hiking and excursions

The Bergell
With its well-tended meadows and forests is still an intact rural cultural landscape. The mountain meadows are mowed and grazed above the tree line.
The spectacular Upper Engadin lake landscape (Maloja, Sils-Maria, St. Moritz etc.) is always worth a visit.

Stampa: museum of local history and ateliers of the Giacometti family
(from: centrogiacometti.ch)
The small mountain village of Stampa was shaped by the extraordinary Giacometti family for almost one hundred years. They carried in two generations their surname Giacometti and thus the fame of the Bergell in the whole world. Their final resting place in the cemetery of San Giorgio in Borgonovo unites them again in the small valley between Maloja Pass and Chiavenna.

Excursions to Italy

Recommended are: Restaurant, Lanterna verde ‘in Villa di Chiavenna, the waterfalls of Piuro and the Vertemate Palace in Prosto di Piuro.

Further to south you reach the small Italian town of Chiavenna with its extensive pedestrian zone, weekly market (velvet) and many historic buildings.

Lake Como is less than an hour’s drive away.

In the parlor of the Casa 151 you will find maps and information about many destinations.

FEEDBACK FROM THE TENANTS

Liebe Familie Kirchhoff / Llanas,
wir waren nun zum vierten Mal im Haus 151 und haben wieder eine wundervolle, seelenstärkende und erholsame Woche verbringen dürfen. Da wir etwas später im Jahr da waren als sonst, kamen wir auch in den Genuss der überreichen Rosen - im Garten und überhaupt im ganzen Dorf und Tal. Es war überwältigend. Das Haus wie immer: tipptopp geputzt, der Garten schön und leicht wild, wie wir das mögen, alles sauber, alles rein, viel Liebe im Detail.
Ich werde demnächst für nächstes Jahr wieder buchen - für uns ist diese Woche in Soglio das Highlight des Jahres, wo wir uns wie Kinder darauf freuen und stets ganz traurig sind, weil die Zeit dort so schnell vorüberzieht.
Freuen wir uns auf 2024!
Mit ganz herzlichen und sonnigen Grüssen

30. Juni 2023 / Mieterinnen Brigitte B. und Hanny G.

Sehr geehrter Herr Kirchhoff,
Ihr Ferienhaus haut uns ausserordentlich gut gefallen und wir haben herrliche Tage erlebt. Falls wir uns wieder für Ferien in Soglio entschliessen sollten, frage ich Sie auf jeden Fall an. Beste Grüsse,

20. Juli 2018 / Mieter Michael B.

Unser Soglio-Aufenthalt liegt nun schon ein paar Tage zurück und wir hatten eine wirklich sehr schöne Zeit. Soglio war noch schöner als ich es in Erinnerung hatte. Ihr wunderschönes Haus hat viel zu einem tollen Urlaub beigetragen.  An dieser Stelle möchten wir uns alle bei Ihnen bedanken und wir hoffen sehr dass wir Ihr Haus eines Tages wieder mieten dürfen. Liebe Grüße,

25. Mai. 2018 / Mieter Robin Z.

We very much enjoyed staying at your house. It was a comfortable place for the four of us, the bedrooms were nice, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, good showers, it was fun to stay in an old stone house (we don't have houses like that in the US).
Soglio is a fantastic town, peaceful, beautiful, good hikes right out the door, convenient to Italy for a different experience. If we come back to Soglio, we would want to stay in your house again.
Best regards, Bruce
