Ascona
A garden hotel with Mediterranean-style architecture and a spa, near the old town.
Ascona sits on a quiet bay of Lake Maggiore, with a car-free waterfront lined with cafés and pastel houses. It has a long history as an artists' retreat, and its mild climate allows palms and camellias.
Hotels cluster along the lake and in the old town, with others set in gardens a short walk away. Locarno, next door, is the main transport hub.
The boat to the Brissago Islands' botanical garden leaves from the quay. Spring and early autumn are the best seasons.
