schlosswartegg The organic castle hotel on Lake Constance

panorama

Birds’ twittering, the rushing of the

wind in the huge trees. A bit farther

away: The sounds of daily life.

The clock in the park is set by the sun here. The

three-part building is shines brightly,

ingrained in the old sandstone – a castle.

Faraway, the sky is touching the ground. Width

and yet Switzerland – the region of Lake

Constance.

A children's swing, people strolling on

gravelled paths, the clattering of crockery –

a lively place.

Schloss Wartegg – hotel, English landscape

park and restaurant with garden terrace.

inspiration

Whether it is the creation of a dish, music, the

ambiance of hotel rooms or writing a letter:

Inspiration and quality are important

to give it the extra something.

harmony

Harmonious colours and artfully designed natural

materials in the rooms and in the whole building

support a comforting atmosphere that inspires while

also leaving room for silence. A perfect place

to work or to break out of the restlessness of everyday

work and find back to one’s own rhythm.

When the day's work is done, after a long walk,

cycle tour or a bath in the nearby lake – here

you will find a splendid place to catch your

breath. In our restaurant with wonderful garden

terrace, Slow Food is the art of everyday life:

Get inspired by our ideas that are anything but

an everyday affair, made with fresh organically grown

products, fish from Lake Constance, free-range meat and

specialities from our own castle garden (ProSpecieRara

garden). Or come and have a coffee and some cake –

without fear of entering: Our entrances are wheelchair-

accessible.
