Ascona is situated on the shores of Lake Maggiore on the Swiss – Italian border and really is an undiscovered jewel. The Italian influences of the location are apparent, and guests who love to visit Lake Como in the summer will not be disappointed should they choose Switzerland and Lake Maggiore. This part of the country offers the most gorgeous scenery in a more tranquil setting than its extremely busy neighbor.
- Combination Stay/Why Visit

- Why Us?
-
The Castello del Sole is all about the “dolce far niente”. With its massive space, nature, and the rooms embedded in the fields of the “Terreni alla Maggia” it offers a lot of privacy and space.
The Castello del Sole and The Living Circle stand for “Farm to Table” (eggs, dried meat, rice, corn, wine, gin, honey, etc.), sustainability, and exclusive “Moments”.
