Canton of Ticino, Ascona
Hotel Eden Roc
(5 stars)In a prime position overlooking the water, this hotel is spread across three buildings, each with its own personality. Native architectural designer Carlo Rampazzi has created a decor reflecting the retro vibes of Eden Roc’s forty-year history. There’s no shortage of things to do onsite: the hotel has its own watersports school, a kids’ club, four restaurants (including French and Italian fare), an alfresco terrace bar, a private stretch of lake beach, a marina, three pools, a gym and a spa. All of the bedrooms come with balconies and indulgent Molton Brown toiletries.
Canton of Ticino, Ascona
Castello del Sole Beach Resort & SPA
(5 stars)This low-rise 16th-century hotel is akin to a luxury manor home, with 78 accommodations. Guests can explore courtyards filled with roses, a bird sanctuary, vineyard and its exclusive stretch of beach, as well as playing tennis and swimming — all within the hotel’s perimeter. Castello del Sole is a Relais and Chateaux property, specialising in warm, personalised service and cuisine par excellence (which can be taken by candlelight on the terrace). Don’t miss the theatrical opera-themed bar and the Castello Spa, which incorporates ingredients grown on-site into the pampering treatments. Kids are very well catered for during the summer break, with a range of activities.
