For an exceptional escape, book into this fantasy palace a 10-minute drive from Rorschach on the hillside above town. This 16th-century former royal Austrian castle is set in grounds with towering sequoias and Lake Constance views. There are nods to the 21st century in the slick rooms, which have iPod docks and minibars. Organic produce features at breakfast.
