Restaurant Donatz
Samedan

Restaurant Donatz occupies a Swiss pinewood dining room at Hotel Donatz on Plazzet, in the village centre of Samedan. Cornelia and René Donatz run the family business, whose history stretches back to 1974. They took over in 2008, bringing their shared background in professional cooking to a house that combines a restaurant, guest rooms and a separate wine bar. Both trained in the kitchen; René later worked aboard cruise ships, while Cornelia gained experience in hotels in Zermatt and Zurich.
The restaurant's signature is Angus beef fillet Woranoff, with flambéing performed directly beside the table. That tableside preparation gives the meal a distinctive focal point, while the pinewood room provides a traditional Engadine setting. Homemade Angus beef steak tartare is another house recommendation. Fish, mussels, mushrooms and venison appear in the restaurant's account of its seasonal cooking, alongside specialties from Grisons and established Donatz dishes.
The kitchen introduces new seasonal creations through a culinary calendar, so the selection changes rather than resting entirely on the signature beef dishes. This gives returning guests different ways to explore the restaurant, from regional preparations to seafood or game. A dedicated wine list accompanies the food, and wine forms a substantial part of the family's approach to hospitality.
The railway station, village bus stops and Samedan's mineral baths are nearby. Tables can be reserved through the restaurant's online booking service or by contacting the hotel directly.

Il Negrese is a farmhouse stay nestled in the Piacenza hills, in the heart of the Val Tidone, where vineyards, silence and sunsets seem to have found a perfect understanding. Here, a stay is not simply a night away from home, but a gentle change of pace. The apartments are thoughtfully finished, welcoming and designed to offer privacy and relaxation, with options that include a private sauna, a hot tub and spaces dedicated to wellbeing. Outside, the surrounding countryside frames the days between the pool, the garden and moments to be spent without checking the clock too often. Completing the experience is the local cuisine, made up of authentic flavours and dishes from the Piacenza tradition: cured meats, gnocco fritto, anolini, pisarei e fasò, tortelli con la coda, and those recipes that still have the good taste not to want to become complicated.

But it is also a space to meet, organise small events, business occasions or simply allow yourself the rarest luxury: having time.

The Val Tidone, with a little more time to enjoy it. Discover Il Negrese and choose your moment of pause: book your stay and come to experience the Val Tidone up close.
