The Tgesa is equipped with a dishwasher, Wireless-LAN, two TVs, washer & tumbler and a Nespresso machine. One of the highlights is the soapstone oven in the pine wood snuggery (Stüva).

1468 the house was first mentioned, after it got sold, in a chronicle under the name "Ufem Stutz", what more or less means "on the hill". The house originates in medieval times and apparently served as a hospice - the spacious rooms prove its former purpose.
