Art Hotel Riposo

Art Hotel Riposo knows how to charm. Bright colours, bold patterns, and more than a dash of mischief – it’s a place to fall headfirst in love beside lakeside views, with the Swiss Alps on your doorstep. Known as ‘the Mediterranean soul of Switzerland’, the town of Ascona has a unique mix of alpine charm and mild climate – giving it year-round appeal. Add cobbled streets, palm trees and a welcoming town atmosphere, and you’ve got a romantic getaway with buzz, beauty and an excellent local food scene.

The rooms at Art Hotel Riposo are as much about location as they are about comfort. Boasting views over the roofs of Ascona, Lake Maggiore, and rugged mountains, the decor echoes the vibrancy of the town – with accents of hot terracotta, cool teal and stylish textiles. Rooms range from the Classico – perfect for solo travellers and couples with a busy itinerary – all the way to La Casetta, a spacious suite with a private pool, picture-postcard views, and family-friendly space for four.

Language isn’t the only part of this Swiss region to take its cues from Italy. The food here is distinctly Mediterranean – and the hotel restaurant is no exception, serving an eclectic blend of Ticino specialties – best enjoyed al fresco. Or step out into the town to sample the local delicacies – between visits to the Brissago Islands’ botanical gardens and Bellinzona's castles.
