Today, an excerpt of Karl Wild's hotel evaluation for this year appeared in the SonntagsZeitung. A great day for the Castello del Sole in Ascona. The luxury resort can once again be satisfied with its top position among the best holiday hotels in Switzerland.
A summer dedicated to nature
The five-star superior resort is known for its unique location, excellent service and haute cuisine "from farm to table". Located on the Delta della Maggia, directly on Lake Maggiore, you will find peace, relaxation and fun at the highest levels. This summer the Castello del Sole and the associated farm and winery Terreni alla Maggia bring their guests even closer to the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings with impressive adventure offers. Be it Forest Bathing, wildlife viewing or fly fishing in the Maggia.
If you prefer nature experiences in small portions, join the 33-minute Walk: The Castello del Sole team brings its guests closer to the resort's impressive surroundings in just 33 minutes. With experiences such as “33 minutes walking with mother nature” or “33 minutes talking about rice and wine”, participants learn about traditional Ticino crops from in-house experts. With the "Tree Walk" you are introduced to the botanical world of rare trees in the hotel park that are over 100 years old, or you can join the "33-minute birdwatching walk" through the hotel's nature reserve in the morning soon and the enchanting songs of rare species of birds are heard.
The summer season is in full swing, but there is still a toast to success. Then you go back to work, full of motivation and desire to do. Because one of the secrets of success is that all team members are passionate about what they do, as Simon V. Jenny, General Manager reveals: “Also this year the signs are good for extremely positive business development. With a lot of joy and commitment, our highly motivated team is doing everything possible to implement these challenges properly. This is done in the belief that guest satisfaction is directly linked to employee satisfaction and can only be achieved through mutual motivation at all levels. A big thank you also goes to the owner family, who express their joy and passion for this exceptional property ".
