Property Overview

The Castello del Sole, together with the Cantina alla Maggia winery, is an oasis of relaxation, immersed in nature on a vast estate, a space without doors or windows. At the Castello del Sole, you have the beauty of the Ticino at your fingertips. The estate exemplifies the natural luxury of The Living Circle. Surrounded by natural, lush landscapes, it is a retreat where you can enjoy the beauty of southern Switzerland. A bird sanctuary, a botanical garden, and an orchard come together on the shores of Lake Maggiore to create a magical retreat for special moments. The farm-to-table philosophy rings particularly true here, where rice, corn, fruit, vegetables, wine, and other fine products are fresh from the fields and gardens.

Castello del Sole comprises three structures: the two Retreat & Wellbeing Pavilions and the central building. Within its walls, forty-one junior suites and suites and thirty-eight double and single rooms offer all the essentials for well-being, pleasure, and relaxation. There are three restaurants, a bar, and a snack bar on the private beach. The spa, the largest and most varied in Ticino, offers a wide range of treatments.
