DINING
Ristorantes Aphrodite and ECCO, bar lounge, pool bar, and enoteca - the temptation to indulge now and then is strong, whether by enjoying Gault Millau star chef Urs Gschwend's 16 points ...
... or the modern cuisine in young star Rolf Fliegauf's new Ristorante ECCO.
And in between? Who could resist the antipasti delights at the pool café, or a nightcap in Luca Sandionigi's bar lounge?
SPA
Oasis of relaxation, or garden of scintillating pleasure, the Giardino has always been a multifaceted place of well-being, a fountain of youth for health and beauty, with all the trappings: outdoor pool, sunbathing area, Wellness World and fitness gym.
The Wellness World's Roman bathing temple is a prominent feature, the perfect setting for those relaxing moments. With the new massages and beauty treatments, Giardino well-being is now more multifaceted and attractive than ever.
GOLF
The 18-hole golf course in Ascona, Golf Club Patriziale Ascona, with its beautifully maintained park landscape and magnificent views of the lake and mountains, is one of the most beautiful golf courses in Europe.
KIDS
«Giardino» means garden in Italian, but you probably already know that! The hotel has this name because it has a really cool garden. That’s also nice for parents! In the midst of the garden there is a small lake filled with colourful fish and frogs and even a water snake.
And then there are even two swimming pools just for kids! You can try out your new diving goggles or take your little submarine out for a run!
EVENTS
As early as the 1930s, Ascona developed into a centre of tourism and culture. Intellectuals, business people, politicians, athletes and artists alike cherished the location and the mild climate of the picturesque lake-side village. To this day, «Lago Maggiore's most outstanding beauty spot» has not lost any of its charm. The pearl which is Ascona is lent additional lustre by numerous activities and events: concerts, exhibitions and more. |
