Everything about this property was amazing & we will definitely go back should we be in Ascona again. We enjoyed the pool, bar, the included breakfast, and ate dinner one evening which was outstanding! We were a little disappointed the payment machine was not working at check out & we had to pay cash which was very inconvenient but not a deal breaker.

Very good location with wonderful views over the lake. The hotel issues free pass passes which covers the whole of the Ticino. The bus stop is right outside the hotel. Great pool area with a good sized pool and seating area. The breakfast buffet covers a wide choice and was most enjoyable. In fact, all the food we had at the hotel was excellent. We would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a value for money place to stay in the Ascona area,

Beautiful and Tranquil stay

Lovely spot outside of Ascona. Staff was very helpful and friendly, rooms were comfortable with nice views. Somewhat isolated for getting around on foot but an easy bus ride into the nearest towns.
