Hotels with Breakfast Included in Ascona

With its palm-lined promenade along Lake Maggiore, Ascona feels more Mediterranean than Swiss. The main draw is the Piazza Giuseppe Motta, a sun-drenched square where locals and visitors gather at café tables that spill right to the water's edge. You can spend your days browsing the art galleries in the old town's narrow lanes, taking a boat to the Brissago Islands to see their botanical gardens, or simply watching the colorful sailboats from the lido.

This lakeside town is ideal for couples and leisure travelers seeking a relaxed pace, though its cultural festivals also attract a creative crowd. Staying near the Piazza Motta puts you at the heart of the action, while the quieter neighborhoods of Moscia and Ronco offer more seclusion. The Locarno-Ascona region is well-connected, with a local bus network and the Locarno train station just a short ride away, providing easy access to the rest of Switzerland and northern Italy.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find around a dozen hotels in Ascona, with a clear focus on charming, mid-range to upscale boutique hotels and several refined lakeside resorts. Options range from historic townhouse hotels in the centro storico to modern properties with full spa facilities overlooking the water.
