Dear Fam Studer, Miss Degen and Miss Irniger, Since 8years I am travelling to Locarno/Ascona and spend a long weekend at a Hotel. So I dare saying: your Hotel is my favorite. Lovely Rooms, great Breakfast, awesome dinner, thrilling infrastructure (rooftop pool and terrace, inner yard with fountain). Not to mention the nice and very uncomplicated reception. I will be...

Since many years I spend some days in summer/autumn in Hotel Riposo. It's a place to relax and to enjoy life. Owner family Studer and team like to spoil their guests by helping them, creat a wonderful atmosphere and by serving a delicious dinner. Every room in the building is decorated unique and nicely prepared. On the roof top you... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel a week ago and it was simply perfect. The staff is wonderful and helpful, the rooms are good size with all the amenities you need, we had a marvelous view of the lake. The restaurant is superb and the Saturday night band was charming. Thank you to the Studer family for making... More

We traveled a lot around the world and know when we found a jewel... The Riposo succeded all our expectations. It started wtih the warm welcome and later a glass of Proseco. We stayed in the newly nice renovated room 56 with an extra bed in a small room and aircon. Unlike a previous reviewer, it didn't bother us at... More

We are nearly 70 years old! No telephone in the room nor was a torch available we were thus isolated. The owner's... More

I cannot believe that we stayed in the same hotel as some of the reviewers. May be we were lucky but we found it one of the most delightful hotels we have visited. Lovely room, small but tastefully decorated with a balcony overlooking the very pretty courtyard and excellent food and service. Add to this the house jazz band which... More

This hotel should have a lot going for it. It is in a lovely central location in a beautiful resort. However, despite having been promised a room with a view we were given a ground floor room (No 56)with five windows, ALL overlooked. The bathroom was even within reach of a public pathway. The room was dark with no comfortable... More

We spent 10 days at the Hotel Riposo in late Aug/early Sept. We had a lovely room (no45) with balcony and a view to the lake over the rooftops. We were on the top floor and did not suffer any noise from other rooms. In fact we commented on how quiet the hotel and the town were. We stayed on... More

This hotel has eclectic charm. It's right in the center of Ascona and a short walk from the lakefront. A really big advantage is parking. Each guest gets an assigned parking space so there's no hassle. Other hotels in town have no parking. The staff is mostly helpful about suggestions. We had a couple of problems, though. We received several... More
