Hotel information
The Romantik Hotel Castello Seeschloss consists of three separate buildings grouped around a lush Mediterranean garden and open-air swimming pool (heated from mid/end April to beginning/end October 24°/25° C).
The main building and the two towers date back to the 13th century and have a romantic castle atmosphere. The two newer buildings house cosy standard and superior type rooms.
The hotel's public area and the restaurants are partly accessible for disabled persons. Due to the historical nature of the hotel (many steps and narrow doors) wheelchair access to the rooms is not possible.
Room information
The rooms at the hotel range from cosy standard-type rooms to larger superior-type rooms and rooms in the medieval tower section, some with wall-paintings and/or mosaic floors. Some rooms have balconies and some are equipped with air conditioning.
All the rooms are non-smoking rooms. It is still possible to smoke on the balconies, if available, and in all open spaces on the hotel grounds.
Standard and superior type rooms are without lake-view. Most of the castle rooms, the rooms in the medieval tower section and the junior suite in the tower by the pool have a lake-view.
Please note, that due to the large variety of different rooms, it is not always possible to promise a specific room within a category for short stays. The hotel will try to comply with guests' wishes where possible.
Food & Beverage
The Romantik Hotel Castello Seeschloss offers a selection of local, international and Mediterranean dishes, all freshly and lovingly prepared by our the kitchen staff.
The breakfast-buffet is served in the Castello dining room from 07:00 to 11:00. In the summer it is also possible to have breakfast in the warm morning sun on the terrace overlooking the garden.
In the Restaurant Locanda de Ghiriglioni we offer a selection of à la carte dishes and gourmet menus for dinner accompanied by fine wines from our cellar. Dinner is served from 18:30 to 22:00.
In the Castello dining room a three-course half-board dinner with choice from our daily culinary offer is served from 19:00 to 21:00.
In summer, weather permitting, all our meals are served outside on our palm terrace overlooking the Piazza of Ascona and the Lago Maggiore.
During the warmer months, a nice spot for lunch, coffee or dinner is our pavilion in the garden by the lake, protected by secular trees and with a splendid, unobstructed view of the Lago Maggiore and the Brissago Islands. Here we offer a range of delicious dishes, warm and cold snacks, cakes and ice-creams, served from 12:00 to 22:00. For lunch (12:00 to 15:00) and dinner (18:00 to 22:00) we serve à la carte meals and seasonal specialities.
Especially at the beginning of season (March) and end of season (mid-October and beginning of November), depending on the number of guests, we reserve the right to keep one or the other restaurant closed.
