The hotel was friendly but very family-oriented. We sat around the pool, but so many children were running around and screaming. This was not what we expected. Our booked room was unavailable at 3 pm, so they upgraded us to the same room in the new wing. However, it was close to the baby pool, which was even noisier. The reception staff were fine but not friendly. It took them more than 30 minutes to check us in. When we left, they did not help to lift the luggage to the car, but the staff did for the French before us. Maybe I was an Asian....... The staff in the restaurant was the best—very friendly and efficient. The food in the Hide & Seek and the ECCO restaurant was nice. While the hotel is clearly designed for families, it may not be the ideal spot for couples seeking a quieter retreat. There were some instances where the staff could benefit from additional training to ensure a consistently high level of service.

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!

Love this place. Service was impeccable but not at all presumptuous. Everyone was super helpful. Front desk was incredibly thoughtful. Details on the property and room were beautiful. Rooms felt like a home without the kitchen. Garden and pool are immaculate. Breakfast was very good for a European bk. They would bring pillows and tea at night. We didn’t get to eat at the 2* place as it was closed on the days we stayed. Next time Highly recommend.

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 stayed for 3 nights in this amazing place with a beautiful garden and an exceptional crew. The reception is staffed by Swiss professionals and you feel right at home. The rooms have all the amenities you need for a pleasant stay. Beds are comfortable and room have air conditioning. The garden with a koi pool and a extra clean swimming pool is outrageous beautiful. The Hydrangeas are in full bloom and every detail in top shape. Restaurants are very good and the service is professional. This is the Swiss style. Never intrusive or servile. A shuttle service can bring you in town and of course you can walk through pleasant neighborhoods too Golf is just around the corner and on the lake you can do a cruise to an island with a botanical garden. The Ticino is well organized with good roads and long tunnels through the mountains. Nearly everything can be reached by train If you are anyway in Switzerland do not miss its beautiful towns like Bern and Lucerne or Zürich. So much to see in this beautiful country. I have seen many old towns in Europe but the Swiss know how to keep them in shape and spotless clean. The fast food Joints do not stick out and the little shops just invite to stroll through town. Not to forget the terrific bakeries and cheese shops. Switzerland has also some very good wines , which they mostly drink themselves. So hop on the train and see gods country.

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.
