Das Pöstli – Ristorante Garni Post
Ristorante Garni Post
Reopening: 1 July 2026
Just a few steps from the old Lovero Bridge – where the stream separates the Swiss Val Bregaglia from the Italian Val Chiavenna – lies the Ristorante Garni Post, a popular meeting place for locals and a guesthouse for visitors since its construction in 1881. The building has a terrace, bar and dining room on the ground floor and five rooms with shared bathrooms on the first floor.
Prices range from CHF 60 to CHF 160 and include an Italian breakfast.
Until a few years ago, the popular hotel was run by owners Angela and Davide Gianotti. In 2021 and 2022, young Bregaglian Alice Huber took over the management. In the summer of 2024 and 2025, the motto was «Pop-up Pöstli». Stefan Keller reopened the hotel with limited opening hours and a reduced programme of cultural and culinary events.
The new owner, Fondazione ProPosta, is carrying out the first stage of renovation work until June 2026. The premises will once again be available continuously from 1 July to 31 October 2026, managed by host Stefan Keller.
The concept of «Sleep in Switzerland – Breakfast in Italy» will also apply in 2026: Bar Rossi, just 100 metres away, serves cappuccino and brioche early in the morning.
