Tucked into the natural seclusion of its own estate, it offers you a unique calm and tranquillity. Create your own special dream-world in this sweeping, romantic parklands and charming shoreline. Let the discovery of your own personal "Castello" enchant you.

A hotel rich in history: built in 1540 by Francesco Orelli, the Castello del Sole was used as a hideout by the followers of the new Protestant movement. In 1756 it was for the first time recorded as a "gem", then in 1900 operated as a simple "Osteria", inn with six guestrooms and in subsequent years extended into an exclusive and gracious hotel estate. The characteristics of the once recognised "gem" have been maintained until today, combining the charm of its past with modern comforts and the luxurious splendour of the present.

41 junior suites and full suites as well as 37 double and single rooms pamper you with everything you need for your well-being, your happiness and your rest and relaxation. And if you still need something, we are always there for you.

The Lounge and Fireplace Lounge with cosy sitting-areas decorated in exquisite Italian fabrics, quiet fire in the fireplace and view on the beautiful hotel park are part of the unique Relais & Châteaux ambience. Sit back, relax and enjoy a fine afternoon tea or a digestif after dinner.
