Intro

Hotel położony na końcu szlaku mułów, który obecnie jest drogą przełęczy Ofen. Po tym, jak stał pusty przez ponad 100 lat, w 1954 r. przejęła go rodzina Schweizer i już jej drugie pokolenie prowadzi hotel. Tradycyjna kuchnia i napoje oraz domowej roboty wina z południowego Tyrolu. Ofertę uzupełnia teatr i stylowy Davidoff Lounge.

Description

Retreat and live in an 800-year-old knight's house. "Here you can experience magic without having magic mushrooms," LSD discoverer Albert Hofmann noted in the guestbook. Was it the kitchen in which Alpine recipes are still prepared in copper pans today? Or the wines from the Carolingian cellar maturing in oak barrels? Or simply the medieval charm of the patrician house decorated with sgraffito and ornaments, full of history(s)? Part of an existing building is being demolished, of which deep foundation walls have been preserved. From 1199 onwards, a building complex with a house chapel, refectory and a hospice was built. Since then, the Polo family, descended from Venice, has resided for several centuries, mutating into Ca-Polo, Capol (House Power of Polo). They held positions of trust in the respective regencies (Repubblica Veneta, Prince-Bishopric of Chur, House of Habsburg), worked as economists (secular provosts) of the nearby Benedictine monastery of St. Johann in Müstair, and auctioned podestate offices in Valtellina. They carried out numerous official duties, which at the same time shaped the history of the house. In the eastern extension, Augustinian monks ran a hospice with a chapel and refectory. The north wing was equipped with the economy. In 1481, Emperor Frederick III elevated the Capols to the rank of count. In 1506, his son Maximilian I Rex stayed in the Chasa de Capol. 1677 Extension of the parlours in Swiss stone pine. 1728 is the year of birth of the gallant composer Petrus Sebastianus de Capol. In 1774, after the village fire, hipped roofs were built. In 1838 this line of the Count de Capol family became extinct. The house is left to its own devices. 1917 Collapse of the farm wing caused by exceptional snow load and roof repair by the military staying here during the occupation of the border. From 1950 onwards, after around 120 years of vacancy, the knight's house was brought back to life with a lot of passion and sacrifice. Today, the Chasa de Capol develops gently and sustainably. The spirit of the Capols, the Augustinian monks, the muleteers, the knights and minstrels can still be felt.
