Kerstins Nähatelier & Café in Silvaplana

Take the first cable car up to Morgenstern and then down the valley onto the freshly groomed slopes.

Thank you very much for the exceptionally great hospitality! Top service, warm hostess, attentive staff, very good food and a top wine list! We'll be back 😉

I just stayed at Giardino Mountain with my mom for the first time and our stay was nothing short of fantastic. First of all, the hotel is beautiful and set in the perfect location — it’s extremely close to St. Moritz (3-5 minutes by car or bus) in a neighboring, small village — one that’s very cute, quiet and peaceful. The rooms are spacious, modern and have an Alpine touch. Our room had 180-degree views of the Corvatsch mountains — the most beautiful sight to wake up to every morning! The beds are extremely comfortable and the rainforest shower is also really nice. Breakfast is tasty, buffet style. We personally loved the homemade breads, perfectly soft scrambled eggs and the assortment of cheeses. The cappuccinos were also delicious. Now I’ve saved the best for last. The service. Cris, the manager, went above and beyond for us throughout our stay. We attribute much of our excellent stay to him. He always greeted us with a smile and was willing and happy to help us. He made dinner reservations for us every night (6 nights total) and we LOVED every single one of his recommendations. Cris is multilingual and extremely knowledgeable about the area. He gave us very personalized recommendations to our taste. My mom and I keep saying that Cris gave us some of the best service we’ve ever experienced at a hotel. Francesco at the reception was also great. He helped arrange my private ski lessons and was also very pleasant to speak to. If you’re looking for an upscale hotel that feels more warm and personal than a huge/stuffy 5 star hotel, Giardino is the place for you. We will absolutely be coming back and are already planning our return next year.

The food is fine, there's no question about it - but we were missing that certain something in all of the dishes that would elevate the food from "good" to "outstanding" (and I think you can expect more than just "good" given the prices quoted) . This applies to my taste, especially when it comes to seasoning (and just put a salt and pepper mill on the table! Salt and pepper in homeopathic doses for a larger group is simply tedious). But that's a matter of taste overall. As was the service, which was extremely attentive to us. So much so that at times it became a bit tiring that someone was constantly supplying something, stocking up, refilling, etc. (for example salt and pepper in homeopathic doses...). But if it were different, others would write that the service wasn't present enough... If you want to eat boringly well in the best sense of the word and enjoy the full attention of the service, you are definitely in good hands here - the ambience is very nice and cozy.

Good restaurant, great service, great wine!
