Ascovilla
Relaxed Swiss-Italian elegance. Marble entrance hall, warm service, tropical garden, Mediterranean cooking — the feel of the Italian lakes without crossing the border.

Why It Matters
One of the very few hotels in Ascona with its own pool garden in this price range, a recognized Tablet Hotels property, and the closest hotel accommodation to the Patriziale Ascona Golf Club — a century-old course famously called 'the pearl of Lake Maggiore'.
A family-run hotel in Ticino's Italian-speaking corner of Switzerland, sitting a short walk from Ascona's famous lakeside Piazza. Forty-nine rooms and six suites spread across three connected houses, all wrapped in a subtropical garden with palms and two outdoor pools. Small enough to feel genuinely personal, polished enough to attract golfers and couples who want real comfort without fuss.
Where You'll Stay
12 room types available
Double Room Charming
Cosy carpeted double with a small balcony and air conditioning. Two single beds rather than a double — good for friends or couples who prefer their own space. Some units face the garden, others catch morning sun.
2 single beds · 21 sqm
Double Room Chic
Renovated double without balcony but with air conditioning. The Chic category is the entry-level double — modern finishes, walk-in shower, everything you need, nothing you don't.
Double Room Classic
Ground-floor double with balcony and air conditioning. Ground floor means easy garden access, which is a real bonus if you're coming and going with bikes or golf bags.
Single Room Charming
Single room with balcony on an upper floor, air conditioning. The Charming tier is the most characterful of the single categories — carpeted, warm in feel, with an outdoor space to catch the Ticino sun.
Single Room Chic
Elegant and modern single room without balcony. Compact but freshly renovated with a proper box-spring bed and walk-in shower. Good for a solo traveller who wants a solid night's sleep in clean, contemporary surroundings rather than a view.
Box spring bed (140×200 cm) · 17 sqmSingle Room Classic
Ground-floor single with a small balcony and air conditioning. Classic category means the décor is a touch more traditional but the balcony is a genuine plus for a solo traveller who wants morning air.
Suite Armonia
Freshly renovated junior suite with a proper separation between bedroom and living room, plus a private terrace. The sofa bed in the living room makes it legitimately useful for families with two young kids. Two LCD TVs — one per room.
2 single beds (bedroom) + sofa bed for max 2 children (living room) · 31 sqmSuite Aurora
The 'dawn' suite — with terrace and air conditioning, separate bedroom and living room. The name implies an easterly exposure for morning light.
Suite Azalea
One of six suites, all with private terrace, separate bedroom and living room, and air conditioning. The living room sofa converts for families with children.
Suite Camelia
Suite with terrace and air conditioning, separate bedroom and living room. Named in the Italian botanical tradition shared by all six suites.
Suite Incanto
Suite with terrace and air conditioning, separate bedroom and living room.
Suite Tramonto
The 'sunset' suite, suggesting a westerly orientation for evening light over the garden.
