Janine Rüfenacht
Management
The Paladina is a place for relaxation, fellowship, and living out Christian values. We do everything we can to ensure that you, as our guest, enjoy an unforgettable stay: Just book, arrive, and feel at home—and meet people who love to host.

Marco Nolli
Kitchen
Cooking is not just our job, it’s our passion! The head chef focuses on sustainable, predominantly regional cuisine with a Mediterranean and sometimes a little exotic touch. Bread and pasta are of course homemade. By the way, the pizza is also baked in a wood-fired oven according to an original Neapolitan recipe.
Marco Nolli is Paladina’s head chef and spoils Paladina guests with passion and creativity.
