Outstanding Stay
Such a wonderful hotel to stay in. I used to come here as a child and it was wonderful to return. They have made the front outdoor patio into a wonderful sitting area. Beautiful views of the lake! Wonderful service! A great perk is the Ticino pass that you get with the stay. Free train and Bus passes in the state of Ticino.

Excellent room, delicious food and very helpful service.
Our room commanded a fine view of the Lake. It was very well serviced throughout our stay. We enjoyed the leisurely breakfasts, well sited in the garden terrace. Reception was consistently helpful. On the eve of our departure the staff member on duty spent a deal of time helping us to secure our plane boarding passes.

Loved Ascona but wouldn’t stay here again
Bed worn out too soft. Room not updated. Shower stall had no lights and bathroom light didn’t cover the shower. Building is beautiful but as a client you get no valve for your money. Breakfast is same as a much lower price facility. In a place like this I would expect extra amenities such as coffee in the room and a tru mini bar not four bottles of water. Very limited staff to help with luggage.

A charming hotel in an excellent location where the staff go out of their way to look after you.
The unusual structure adds to its charm - I’ve never slept in a 12th century room before! The views are spectacular. The bathroom could have been a little bigger but everything works and all is immaculately clean. The atmosphere is of a friendly family hotel and all the staff were charming and helpful. We only dined once in the hotel but found the menu interesting and inventive. We are only sorry that the rain stopped us enjoying all the facilities but we still very much enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the hotel to anyone.

Sehr angenehmer und erholsamer Aufenthalt wie jedes Jahr.
Jardin de rêve digne du paradis. Le personnel est très diligent et accueillant. Der einzige Kritikpunkt war, dass der Pool kalt war. Vielleicht sollte man ihn nachts schließen, um Wärmeverluste zu vermeiden.

Royal Stay
This was a last minute booking to find the sun. Traveling from the US to Switzerland in April was a known weather risk. We were disappointed to alter our plans from Zermatt due to clouds and snow but was fortunate to find Romantik Castle Costello in Ascona! We had a fabulous time and soaked in the sun. Room 209 had a direct lake view that was breathtaking. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean and had wonderfully comfortable beds. The customer service was top notch. We were greeted by Philippe who showed us to our room and helped with our luggage. The breakfast was abundant and set in a beautiful room full of windows. In the evening we enjoyed the lobby fireplace with a glass of wine. I also enjoyed a nap by the pool with a view of the Alps. The location is perfect for strolling the waterfront shops. They kindly called a taxi for us in the morning. It was a 10 out of 10 stay.

Sympathisches, zentral gelegenes Hotel
Symmetrisches Hotel mit sehr freundlichen Angestellten (vom Chef bis zum Service beim Frühstück). Saubere schöne Zimmer, etwas für jeden Geschmack, schön dass auf Wunsch der Gäste eingegangen wird. Gutes Frühstückbuffet mit genügender Auswahl (zwar ohne frischen Jus). Wunderschönen Garten und Terrasse zum Frühstücken und den Tag verbringen. Zum Nachtessen leider zu kleine Auswahl an vegetarischen Speisen, daher keine Berücksichtigung. Alles in Allem, Preis Leistung stimmt perfekt.

Très soigné
Bel accueil, souriant et jovial. Nous y avons séjourné uniquement une nuit. Très belle chambre et un surclassement pour la peine. Petit détail apprécié tel que le lit préparé pour le soir et rideaux tirés. Le restaurant de l'hôtel situé en face est une magnifique découverte. Superbe accueil et grand professionnalisme. Les mets que nous avons dégusté nous ont absolument ravi.

Bonne hotel
trés bien situé agréable accueil mais vétuste..

Castle romance and top gastronomy await travellers in the medieval castle from the 13th century with individually designed and luxurious rooms. Culinary delights are served in the Restaurant al Lago or on the palm terrace directly on Lake Maggiore. Guests relax in the private, Mediterranean garden with heated outdoor swimming pool and enjoy the "dolce far niente" on Ascona's piazza. 

Gastgeber Romantik Hotel Castello Seeschloss

Our hosts

During a stay in our house, you will get to know the host families Filippo Ris & Sandra and Daniel Heiserer up close. The lakeside castle has been in the family for 70 years and has been extensively renovated and modernised time and again. In the process, granite portals, mosaic floors and wall and ceiling paintings were uncovered in months of painstaking work, restored and lovingly integrated into the hotel structure. Today, the "Castello" is one of the most dazzling landmarks in Ascona and the hosts look forward to letting you in on the secrets of the lake castle.
