Hotel Ascovilla

We stayed three nights at the Ascovilla. Our room was very good quality with a comfortable bed and nice bedding. It was scrupulously clean. We had a bathroom with a walk-in shower. There was a very good amount of closet space and storage. The staff at the desk were so helpful, friendly and kind. The breakfast was very nice. I asked for an additional pillow and it arrived just moments later. |There is an underground parking garage for a fee. The driveway to the garage is somewhat narrow, we had an SUV and it was fine but I wouldn’t want to drive a larger vehicle down there personally. Also, it took us a minute to realize the key lock for the garage is at the top of the driveway. |The lakeside promenade is about a two block walk where there are lots of restaurants and shops. It was nice to have warm weather so we could have dinner while seated lakeside.

We had high hopes for our stay at Ascovilla, but it turned out to be quite a letdown. The hotel feels more like a retirement home than a vibrant getaway in Ascona. The charm and energy you expect from Ascona were completely missing.||On our first day by the pool, there were about ten kids yelling, jumping, and making a lot of noise. It was anything but relaxing. We brought it to the staff’s attention, but nothing was done about it.||Lunch on the day we arrived was also disappointing. We ordered a Caprese salad and got one unripe tomato, a couple of onion slices, and a few tiny cubes of feta – all for 17 CHF. Then they asked for a tip, and when we didn’t leave one, we got unfriendly looks from the staff.||Our room was far from what we expected for 360 CHF per night. It had a basic handheld shower and a view of the hotel parking lot. Definitely overpriced for what was offered.||We asked to leave a day early because we weren’t enjoying our stay, but the manager was unhelpful and rather cold. She insisted we pay for the final night and showed zero flexibility or interest in guest satisfaction. Her only “solution” was to offer a voucher – not useful at all if you have no intention of returning.||Overall, our stay felt like a waste of money. The hotel is overpriced, lacks atmosphere, and the service did not live up to expectations. Definitely not a place we’ll return to – and we wouldn’t recommend it either.

Hotel Ascovilla is a great place to enjoy summer vacation days in Ascona. Perfectly located a short distance from city centre and a slightly longer one from the beach near Lago Maggiore, it offers a great breakfast, attentive reception and assistance in filling out forms for transport discounts. Air-conditioned rooms are spacious and were kept sparkling clean throughout our stay. Bikes available on demand (free of charge). It was our second stay there and I would definitely recommend Ascovilla to other families and couples alike.

I and my daughter stayed in two double rooms for one evening on our Alpine and Lakes tour. The hotel car parking arrangements took a bit of sorting including dash display cards but the welcome was very friendly and accommodating; including asking if we needed luggage assistance.||The hotel is modern with excellent air conditioned rooms and amenities of pool, bar and restaurant in addition to spa features of sauna and massage. The rooms were very clean and well appointed. We each had private balconies that were pleasant areas to sit.||You can sit in the lovely gardens for breakfast to the sound of birdsong and many sparrows looking to join in.||No a cheap hotel but good value for money.

A beautiful setting in a beautiful town. Consistently excellent service - rooms are spacious and very comfortable . being just outside the centre its perfect for the Jazz Week we came for. Breakfast buffet was very good quality and the pool was generally quiet

Nice large room with balcony Pool not heated so not comfortable in Oct. parking is tight. Large breakfast buffet and good value for half board dinner

The Hotel is the perfect balance between a touch of luxury and familiar atmosphere. The rooms are contemporary but warm, as well as the restaurant and other spaces. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Excellent breakfast. Pool and Garden are beautiful and private. Very quiet during night since no car traffic around. 2 minutes walf to the promenade. Great stay.

Five Star Hospitality! |My husband and I escaped for a week to Canton of Ticino. We stayed at three different locations which were each special in their own way. However, as we drove away from Hotel Ascovilla we decided if we had started at this hotel we would never have made it to the other two …it definitely stood out!|From the location, which was a quick walk to downtown, to our room, which was comfortable, clean, and very stylish ,to the staff, which were very professional at the same time extremely warm and welcoming.|We usually do not eat most of our meals at the hotel we stay at, but we ended up doing two of our three suppers …the food/presentation/atmosphere was superior. |Thank you so much for making our stay so memorable! I know we will be back. The Hollands
