Art Hotel Riposo

Our experience was excellent and exceed our expectations! We enjoyed our 3 overnights in this charming hotel where we could rest, relax and enjoyed the amazing food: breakfast and dinner with Jazz Live Concert. I have to say the hotel has every small details that makes it unique but the service from the staff elevates the experience to another level. We will be happy to come back! Thanks

Tucked away in an alley just steps from the promenade of Ascona the Art Hotel Riposo is a wonderful property with charm, exquisite decor and a great staff. Every aspect has been thought through from the rooms, restaurant and lounge, and lends itself to a very special stay in a beautiful town. Thanks to the entire staff for a great 3 days.

This hotel is absolutely amazing. The rooftop is stunning for drinks and views, or a peaceful sunbathe with views of the alps, palm trees and the lake all within viewpoint. Our room was Devine although it sounds like by reviews there aren’t bad rooms. We had two bathrooms which was by no means necessary, but quite nice to have the luxury of having my own room for makeup and getting ready. They also have jazz nights twice a week (I think Friday and Saturday) and that was sooooo magical. Even if you don’t attend the dinner just leaving your door open and letting the music come in. I don’t remember the food situation. We didn’t think they had food but then one day my fiancée ordered the most beautiful “pre lunch” I’ve ever seen! We extended our stay a night. And then extended another night. It is 2-3 blocks from the water- so convenient. This place is so magical you won’t want to leave.

The aesthetics of the hotel are fantastic - a visual pleasure at every turn. Staff were lovely, breakfast was huge and delicious, and it was super conveniently located. We didn’t have a car but got around fine by bus, walking, boat and taxi. Definitely want to go back to this delightful town and hotel.

Schönes und ruhiges Zimmer, hervorragendes Essen und Trinken und sehr aufmerksame Bedienung. Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt im Hotel Riposo. Wunderschöne Dachterrasse mit Blick über Ascona . Wir haben alles sehr genossen. Wir kommen wieder!

Meine Familie und ich kommen schon seit zwei Jahrzehnten ins Riposo und werden dies sicherlich mindestens nochmal so lange tun. Es wird auf jedes Detail geachtet, das Hotel ist familiär und sehr hochwertig, selten soviel Qualität erlebt. Selbst alleinreisend mit zwei Hunden kann man sich dort super erholen und entspannen. Die Dachterrasse ist ein Traum, die Zimmer sehr großräumig und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Personal und die Inhaberfamilie sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Und das Essen ein Gedicht, vom Frühstücksbuffet über die Mittagskarte zum Abendessen muss man das Hotel kein einziges Mal verlassen. Für deutsche Verhältnisse ist es zwar nicht ganz günstig - so wie die Schweiz allgemein und Ascona besonders, aber jeden Cent wert. Wer über dieses Haus schlechte Rezessionen schreibt, sollte sich lieber selbst hinterfragen.
