Best location on Lake Maggiore with private beach and 140 hectares – the Castello del Sole is a five-star luxury resort in Ascona.
The sunny retreat in the middle of Ticino offers 41 suites as well as 37 rooms and boasts its own winery with agricultural specialties, Terreni alla Maggia. The adjacent estate not only produces excellent wine, spirits and grains, but also operates Switzerland’s oldest rice farm, whose “Loto Risotto” is legendary.
Charming courtyards, hidden corners in the park and the casual beach club offer plenty of space to linger while nature lovers stroll through the bird sanctuary, which is also part of Castello del Sole.
Michelin-starred chef Mattias Roock provides culinary delights in the three hotel restaurants Locanda Barbarossa, Tre Stagioni and Al Parco.
Insiders appreciate the 2,500-square-meter wellness oasis Castello Spa & Beauty, while directly adjacent is one of Switzerland’s most renowned golf courses, the Golf Club Patriziale di Ascona. Guests can also then round off the noble experience on the lake: The hotel’s own Frauscher boat invites guests to take an exclusive spin.
