# Castello del Sole Beach Resort & SPA > A lakeside 5-star resort in Ascona with 300 yards of private Lake Maggiore shoreline, a 14-hectare park, spa, tennis, golf, and à la carte dining steps from the water. **Key facts** - 5-star hotel - Ascona, Switzerland - Via Muraccio 142, 6612 Ascona, Switzerland - Chain: Leading Hotels of the World - Brand: Leading Hotels of the World - Preferred-partner programme: Leaders Club - Page: https://firstrowtravel.com/hotels/switzerland/ascona/castello-del-sole-beach-resort-spa ## About Sitting on the northern shore of Lake Maggiore, Castello del Sole occupies 14 hectares of private parkland that stretch down to a 300-yard stretch of lakeshore that belongs entirely to the hotel. The grounds feel like their own small world — manicured gardens, tennis courts, a golf course, and an indoor pool all coexist within walking distance of your room. The spa goes well beyond the basics, offering a full wellness center with a gym and a range of treatments serious enough to justify planning your trip around them. Every room and suite comes with a balcony, and given the lake views on offer, you will likely spend more time on it than you expect. The food and drink here is worth the stay on its own. The Spiaggia bar sits directly on the lakeshore, and having a drink there as the afternoon light shifts across the water toward the Piedmontese hills is one of those simple pleasures that stays with you long after you've checked out. The restaurants take a thoughtful approach to à la carte dining, leaning into fresh seafood and regional produce, with terrace seating during summer that makes meals feel like an occasion rather than a routine. Families are genuinely well looked after — the hotel runs a dedicated animation program through July and August, and babysitting is available on request year-round. Bicycles and motorboats are available to rent, making it easy to explore the lake or reach the charming village center of Ascona, just under a mile away. Locarno, with its film festival pedigree and Italianate piazzas, is less than two miles up the road.
