Individual ratings for Schloss Schauenstein
What is the opposite of centrally located? Schloss Schauenstein – in the small hamlet of Fürstenau in the Domleschg Valley, far from the tourist hang-outs, would be a fine illustration of it.
The thick castle walls dating back to the 13th century are an exquisite setting for the restaurant / hotel of Andreas Caminada and Marcel Skibba.
Restaurant set across two dining rooms, salon, smokers’ lounge, 12 rooms and suites, a terrace, a garden with natural swimming pond; next door, the inn Casa Caminada and the vegetarian restaurant “Oz.”
Andreas Caminada (awarded three Michelin stars since 2010) defines a cuisine that is precise, expressive and quietly compelling. Each dish is a study in clarity, shaped by an uncompromising respect for the ingredient. The castle’s vegetable garden sets the tone. Together with co-owner and Head Chef Marcel Skibba, Caminada works with what is growing and ripening in Fürstenau at that moment. Szechuan pepper, persimmons and Malabar spinach speak of the region’s distinctive microclimate — and lend the menu its depth, structure and unmistakable identity.
Fascinating wine menu with around 700 vintages and extensive selection of local Graubünden vintners.
Marked by silent perfection.
Schloss Schauenstein Restaurant, Fürstenau
There is no greater joy than anticipation — and yes, it is worth waiting months for a table and a room at Schloss Schauenstein. You will be rewarded in more than princely fashion. Andreas Caminada’s cuisine ranks among Switzerland’s defining culinary addresses: precise, layered and marked by a clarity that lingers. What arrives on the plate unites technical mastery with a profound respect for the ingredient.
Forget what you think you know about three-star restaurants and luxury hotels. In Fürstenau, exceptional cooking meets an ease that feels entirely unforced. Schloss Schauenstein is not a place of grand gestures, but of quiet conviction — composed, focused and enduringly contemporary.
