We spent 10 days at the Hotel Riposo in late Aug/early Sept. We had a lovely room (no45) with balcony and a view to the lake over the rooftops. We were on the top floor and did not suffer any noise from other rooms. In fact we commented on how quiet the hotel and the town were. We stayed on... more

This hotel has eclectic charm. It's right in the center of Ascona and a short walk from the lakefront. A really big advantage is parking. Each guest gets an assigned parking space so there's no hassle. Other hotels in town have no parking. The staff is mostly helpful about suggestions. We had a couple of problems, though. We received several... more

No balcony, but patio doors with "mini"... more

This hotel is the same. From the courtyard with it's little fountain to the spectacular rooftop pool with the most breathtaking view of Ascona... more

After reading the reviews on this website, we thought we would ask the hotel for an offer. We wrote emails to this hotel twice (Saturday and Monday) asking for rates and availability and received no response either time. Then on Tuesday we called to let them know we were waiting for an offer. We had to call two or three... more

For our first visit to beautiful Lago Maggiore in the Ticino region of Switzerland, my wife chose the romantic Hotel Riposo. We were guests of the Studer family for three days.
