Summary

Location

Castello del Sole resides on the shores of Maggiore, a magnificent lake on the Swiss-Italian border.

Known for its stunning Mediterranean architecture and bustling tree-lined cafes, Ascona is a popular holiday destination in Switzerland. There are loads of activities to do in the city and throughout the Ticino canton—ask reception about hiking, cycling or guided tours of the castle.

Upon meandering mere metres from the hotel, guests can cool off in the refreshing water of Lake Maggiore. Or, the resort’s private motorboat offers trips around the islands and beyond.

From Lugano Airport, you can reach the hotel in 45 minutes by road.

Rooms & Suites

Francesco Orelli built the estate in 1532 to shelter persecuted Protestants, and recent renovations have incorporated modern luxuries while preserving its old-world charm.

The hotel has 41 luxurious suites and 37 double/single rooms.

All rooms and a small selection of suites reside in the main building, each decorated in a timeless Mediterranean style.

For an authentic Lombard experience, book one of the exquisite suites in the Retreat Pavilion. A cloister-style colonnade showcases its rose-studded garden, and each suite has an ornate 20-square-meter (or larger) loggia and rich walnut furniture.

The Well-being Pavilion is home to the most luxurious suites—expect delicate fabrics, high ceilings, and large balconies with stunning views.

Spa & Wellness

The 2,500 m2 Castello SPA & Beauty has everything you need to relax and unwind in style.

State of the art facilities include a heated indoor/outdoor pool, a steam bath, a Jacuzzi, a hydro pool, a solarium, a Kneipp trail, and an exercise pool.

Highly skilled hands administer a range of customised therapies in the treatment rooms, from massage to facials and body rubs to hot stone therapies.

The signature Vineasole Cosmetica and VinoAqua Therapy use grapes grown in the resort vineyard, nourishing the skin and revitalising your youthful glow.

For a secluded wellness experience, enjoy a blissful two-hour pampering session in the 70 m² Onsernone SPA SUITE. The private suite comes with a steam bath, sauna, whirlpool and two heated deck chairs.

There’s a gym if you fancy a thorough workout and a tennis court and jogging track for outdoor recreation.

Food & Drinks

With four exquisite restaurants, Castello Del Sole forms part of The Living Circle, a high-end assortment of divine farm-to-table restaurants and hotels.

Head chefs pick garden-fresh ingredients from the resort’s 150-acre farm, where superb seasonal produce flourishes.

Michelin-starred restaurant Locanda Barbarossa makes refined French cuisine with a distinct international twist.

The Tre Stagioni restaurant serves Mediterranean classics à la carte, as well as a hearty breakfast buffet on the terrace.

Ristorante Al Parco serves classic Italian cuisine in the gardens, while Ristorante Spiaggia is all about finger-lickin’ finger food on a private beach.

For sophisticated late-night memories, Cortile Barbarossa makes clever cocktails to the sounds of soft piano songs.
