Castello del Sole

Frommer's Review

The grandest hotel in Ascona is surrounded by an 8-hectare (20-acre) park and green meadows. This peaceful haven is near the Maggia River, at the point where it flows into Lake Maggiore. It has the atmosphere of a private estate, 2km (1 1/2 miles) from the center of town. There's an antique palazzo with many courtyards. The spacious public rooms have vaulted ceilings, granite columns, and marble terraces, with one room available for those with limited mobility. The rooms, which come in various shapes and sizes, have balconies and beautiful furniture, along with deluxe bathrooms. The suites are in a building east of the main hotel. Located nearby is the 18-hole golf course Locarno.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 pools (1 heated indoor); golf course nearby; 7 tennis courts; fitness center; spa; sauna; salon; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service/dry cleaning; 1 room for guests w/limited mobility
