I cannot believe that we stayed in the same hotel as some of the reviewers. May be we were lucky but we found it one of the most delightful hotels we have visited. Lovely room, small but tastefully decorated with a balcony overlooking the very pretty courtyard and excellent food and service. Add to this the house jazz band which... More

This hotel should have a lot going for it. It is in a lovely central location in a beautiful resort. However, despite having been promised a room with a view we were given a ground floor room (No 56)with five windows, ALL overlooked. The bathroom was even within reach of a public pathway. The room was dark with no comfortable... More

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

This was our second visit to the Riposo and am pleased to confirm that this family run hotel have maintained their excellent standards. The quality of the rooms we had were even better and as always the food was superb. All the staff and management do go that 'extra mile' to ensure your stay is a great experience ! This... More

This was our second visit to the Riposo but this time with 3 generations of our family and stayed for 4 nights. Last time we gave it an excellent rating and it has got even better. We travelled with my mother in law and believe me she moans at the slightest thing! Not only could she not find fault but... More

Spent 4 nights here in July 06 - didn't look too impressive from the outside, but one inside it was quite nice rustic hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful, room was a nice size, open bathroom to the room but separate loo (of course!). comfy beds and a small sofa plus tv. No balcony, but patio doors with "mini"...

Ascona is the kind of place you wish no one else had discovered and you could have all to yourself... it has the easy atmosphere of nearby Italy, with all the cleanliness and clockwork of Switzerland. 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
