Retreat-Haus Müstair - Mountain Sanctuary for Sabbatical and Recovery
A quiet retreat house in Switzerland for a conscious time-out from one month onwards
A former guesthouse in Müstair, Graubünden.
Today a quiet sanctuary for up to four individual guests at a time – each of you on your own journey of withdrawal.
For sabbaticals, creative getaways, burnout prevention and
extended periods of recovery.
Self-catered. Self-paced. Self-directed.
You shape your days to nurture your own wellbeing.
What this house offers is a home with space, quietness, time to yourself, and nature all around – while the village nearby provides everything else.
Who This Retreat House Is Suitable For
Retreat-Haus Steinbock is suitable for people who want to take a sabbatical, seek a creative time-out,
are exhausted, or want to protect themselves from burnout.
Also for those going through a transition phase and need time away from home.
And for anyone who needs a month or more of quietness, nature, and a true pause from everyday life.
It is not suitable for short stays or for people seeking action, supervision,
structured routines, organized schedules, or programs.
The Retreat-Haus Steinbock in Müstair, Graubünden
Retreat-Haus Steinbock is located in the valley Val Müstair, amid the Graubünden mountain landscape.
The municipal region is committed to preserving and promoting biodiversity, and bordering the Swiss National Park, it's a true haven for nature lovers.
In the main village Müstair stands the Convent of St. John, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, just steps from Retreat-Haus Steinbock.
In the other direction lies Italy's Alto Adige, with Merano just one hour away.
Home for Your Sabbatical, Burnout Recovery, or Extended Time-Out
Finding the right place for a stay of two months or more is rarely straightforward.
Holiday apartments are seldom available long-term and often too small for an extended stay. Rental apartments come with rigid contracts, agency fees, and the hassle of furnishing.
Retreat-Haus Steinbock was created precisely for this gap. A large, fully furnished house with spacious rooms, communal spaces, a library, a garden, and a sunny terrace – everything you need for an extended stay, without the limitations and commitments of conventional accommodation.
Simply arrive, have everything you need, and rest.

Your Retreat. Your Pace.
Your Space.
Retreat-Haus Steinbock accommodates only four individual guests at a time, allowing each guest to find their own rhythm and calm.
If you wish to connect with the others sharing the space, those moments can unfold naturally. If you need solitude and silence, the house offers that just as readily.
To preserve this atmosphere of quietness for everyone, the house remains visitor-free.
Living together in the house is intentionally kept simple – with clear, respectful living and house rules. This way, each person can find peace without having to explain themselves.
The Comfort and Freedom of Home in Müstair
At Retreat-Haus Steinbock, you're free to shape your days entirely as you need.
The spacious kitchen offers ample room for several people to prepare their meals comfortably – cooking what feels right for your body and rhythm. When you're ready to eat, you'll find several quiet spaces throughout the house, or you can gather with others at one of the communal tables if connection feels right.
And when you don't feel like cooking, the village of Müstair offers charming restaurants just a short walk away – or cross into Italy for authentic Italian cuisine.

Two Social Entrepreneurs
One Vision
We, Maria and Martina, have known each other for over 35 years, bound by a deep friendship.
From 2008 to 2011, we completed our studies together at the Akademie für Individualpsychologie in Zurich and graduated as Adlerian Counselors – a period that not only shaped us professionally but also strengthened our shared desire to create a space for people in challenging life phases – where time becomes a precious quality that works for and not against oneself.
From this vision, Retreat-Haus Steinbock was born:
A sanctuary with great energy, where people can recover while feeling at home.
Where the quietness of Müstair supports your withdrawal. Where silence becomes a warmth that helps quiet the noise in your head. A protected space for your own wellbeing and peacefulness.
A time where only you decide the flow of your days, where you live according to your needs.
And if you want support reflecting on your thoughts, we come to meet you at the house.
We look forward to your arrival – and to you feeling comfortable, safe, and truly at home on your journey
to inner peace.
