Riposa

Frommer's Review

The most tranquil hotel in Ascona is a rather romantic and traditional structure standing in a quiet corner of the Old Town, a 3-minute walk to the lake. It's in a part of Ascona filled with narrow alleys, art galleries, and fashion boutiques. Each bedroom is individually designed and furnished, each with its own color, art objects, and furnishings; most of them have a private terrace or balcony overlooking Old Town and the lake itself. Accommodations come with a private and well-maintained bathroom with shower. Breakfast is served in the courtyard or on the roof terrace, and the serving table is filled with homemade jams, Swiss cheese from the Ticino, Italian salami, farm-raised ham, and a variety of freshly baked organic breads and Swiss muesli. The on-site restaurant is worth a visit even if you don't stay here. It serves a creative regional cuisine with many other specialties from the Mediterranean kitchen. The roof terrace is the major allure of this hotel; it's decorated with subtropical plants and has a heated pool surrounded by natural rocks.
