Guarda. Hotel Meisser

This is taken from the hotel´s web site:

Once upon a time.....so begins our family history, over 120 years ago in the Hotel Sternen in Chur, where a teacher by the name of Andreas Meisser sat at a table and spent hours chatting and philosophizing. There he met his future wife, Barbla Barth. She was from Guarda and training as a midwife in Chur. She earned a little bit of money by waitressing. After completion of her training she returned to her parental home, “ the Hotel Sun” in Guarda. Andreas Meisser followed her and they were married. They took the opportunity to buy the Chasa Meni, a house previously owned by the Planta family, built in 1645 (today the Hotel Meisser).In doing so, they laid the foundation stone of our 120 year old family history. The young married couple set up 15 beds and on June 15th 1893, the first visitor arrived, followed by distinguished clientele from both near and far.
