Giardino Ascona

As a fairly seasoned world traveler, I can emphatically say this is the most spectacular place I've ever stayed. Everything about the property (and village of Ascona) is magical! They made this birthday one to remember (and the cake delivered to the room was excellent)! The hotel is pure luxury in a very relaxed setting and this is a difficult balance to strike, but they do so with perfection. The grounds and rooms are immaculate. We stayed in a beautiful two room suite, and loved the pop of color with the purple sofa in the living room. Sitting on the balcony and looking out at the mountains was mesmerizing. And the heated floors in the bathrooms are a nice touch! The service is top notch, as expected. I'd like to recognize Sophia, who checked us in, Salvatore and the bar, and Jennifer, at Ecco, for their particularly wonderful service. Speak of Ecco, that is the best meal my wife and I have had. It is most definitely not an everyday meal, but was worth every penny. The courses and the flavors all complemented one another with perfection. Meeting Chef Rolf at the end was a real treat! We took advantage of the complimentary bicycles and rode into Ascona for a lovely afternoon. I wish we had time for the pool and spa, but both looked just as immaculate as the rest of the property. Everyone should be so lucky to get to experience a place like this. Returning is at the very top of our list!

Can not say enough about this hotel. Absolutely beautiful grounds, great food, and wonderful service. The kids club onsite is great and the hotel and staff really make kids feel welcome but it doesn't give off a family hotel vibe. We will be back!

What an Oasis! Attention to detail is impressive! Amazing location, heavenly blue skies! First Class reception! First Class service! Very professional staff takes care of guest’s requests in an extra ordinary, friendly way! Plenty of smiles around. The incredible Breakfast Buffet was the perfect start to our wonderful day! Many thanks and special compliments for the exquisite food and excellent, attentive staff in the restaurant! Ambiente Fantastico!

Giardino Ascona experience was one of a kind! Ultimate hospitality, and beautiful setting that makes you feel very relaxed. Gorgeous outdoor pool surrounded by lush gardens, very spacious room with beautiful views. The food is amazing, and the fine dining experience at Ecco is a memory we will cherish! Hotel is just 5 minutes drive from Ascona and you actually can borrow a bike from hotel and get there in 10 minutes or so! Thank you again for having us, it was an experience to remember!

We have spent 3 nights with our kids in this wonderful Hotel. The service, the Restaurants, the pool & garden are just amazing! The rooms are beautiful the breakfast fantastic and the Restaurant Ecco an unforgettable experience! Special thanks go to Wolfram & Tibor who have made our vacation so special! We absolutely can recommend this beautiful property to everyone! Thank you JF

This property is immaculate. The grounds and pool area are beautiful and the rooms are very well appointed. The service is also exceptional from all the staff. Each staff member was proactive in checking in on our stay and answered our plethora of questions as this was our first time in Locarno. The only downside of our stay was the restaurant, Hide & Seek. The meal we had was very poor, which was especially frustrating given how pricey it is. Fortunately, there are tons of other great options in Ascona / Locarno, which we were able to go to and have great meals, so I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for your meals.
