Luxury fed by nature
The Living Circle is a Swiss hospitality group where exceptional places, the joy of hosting and nature intertwine.
About us
Properties in Switzerland’s most beautiful locations
The Living Circle brings together houses with their own history and a distinctive atmosphere. The collection includes Alex Lake Zürich, Castello del Sole, Château de Raymontpierre, Storchen Zürich and Widder Hotel.
What connects these places is a closeness to nature and a genuine joy of hospitality. Much of what is served in our restaurants grows on our own farms and vineyards: at Schlattgut in Herrliberg, the farm in the Jura, at Terreni alla Maggia and in the Cantina alla Maggia. With the Caminada Group, the culinary circle is complete.
Sustainability
Acting with intention. With an eye on tomorrow.
Our houses carry history within them – from Storchen Zürich to Château de Raymontpierre. They are sanctuaries of calm, shaped by nature, craftsmanship and the warmth of its people. That is why we act with care: ecologically, socially and economically. So that these places may be preserved for the future and continue to inspire our guests.
History
Since 2017: Where hospitality and nature come together
The Living Circle was born from the desire to connect hotels, restaurants and agriculture in a truly distinctive way. Its origins lie in the Maggia Delta, where Castello del Sole has been surrounded by its own cultivated land for decades. From this bond between hospitality and nature, a philosophy has grown that shapes the entire group today – from Ticino to Zurich. A philosophy defined by care, tranquility and mindfulness.
