A quiet apartment in a historic village house: stone stairs, private terrace & Toggenburg views

A private two-storey apartment in Ebnat-Kappel, with a bright kitchen, an attic bedroom, a private terrace and wide views across the Toggenburg hills.

This apartment forms part of a centuries-old village house in Ebnat-Kappel. Its unusual layout stretches across two floors, connected by an original stone staircase. Downstairs, the kitchen and dining area look out towards the surrounding hills. Upstairs, the bedroom and sitting area sit beneath the sloping roof of the attic.
The house has been updated without removing the details that make it distinctive. There is an old stove in the kitchen, a mysterious built-in cupboard upstairs, wicker chairs for reading, books and board games tucked into the dining bench, and a private terrace just outside the entrance. It is a simple, characterful place for two people who want their own space, access to nature and a quieter base in Toggenburg.

Dove dormirai

The bedroom and living area share the upper floor beneath the roof. At its centre is a comfortable queen-size bed, with a walk-in wardrobe and room to sit, read or work nearby.
A baby cot with a mattress can be prepared on request. Because the apartment is reached by several stairs and the internal stone staircase is open and uneven, it is not suitable for active toddlers or young children who are already moving around independently.

Dettagli che contano

Silenzio & spazio

  • The apartment has its own private entrance and terrace and is used exclusively by guests. Lucia, the co-host, and her partner live in a separate part of the house.
  • The dining corner looks towards the hills, while the attic offers a quiet place to read, rest or sit together at the end of the day.

Pet-friendly

  • Dogs are welcome by prior agreement with the hosts. Cats cannot be accommodated.

Lo spazio

  • The apartment is arranged vertically across two levels.
  • On the lower floor, the kitchen and dining area form the heart of the space. The kitchen is compact but thoughtfully equipped, with an induction hob, microwave, small refrigerator, kettle, espresso machine and the basic cookware needed to prepare your own meals.
  • The dining area sits beside a broad row of windows overlooking the hills around Ebnat-Kappel. Books and board games are stored inside the bench, making this a comfortable place for breakfast, an afternoon coffee or an evening spent at home.
  • The bathroom is also located on this floor.
  • An original stone staircase leads to the attic above. Here, the bedroom and sitting area share one open space beneath the roof. Alongside the queen-size bed, there is a walk-in wardrobe, two wicker chairs, a small table and a separate dining or working table.
  • The staircase is one of the apartment’s defining features, but it is steep, irregular and unsecured. Guests should be comfortable climbing stairs and have good balance and basic mobility.

Esterno & dintorni

A private outdoor staircase leads to the apartment entrance and its terrace. Both areas are reserved entirely for guests.
The terrace has outdoor furniture, a dining area and sun loungers, making it an easy place to have breakfast outside, read in the afternoon or sit for a while at the end of the day.
Ebnat-Kappel lies in the Toggenburg valley, surrounded by hills, forests and mountain landscapes. The region offers walking and cycling routes, cultural events and outdoor activities throughout the year. In winter, the wider Toggenburg area is well placed for skiing, sledging, snowshoeing and winter walks.
