Hotel la Meridiana, Lake & SPA
This is what you call old freshness: Modern architecture harmonizes perfectly with historic walls in the heart of Ascona. A place with elegance and charm.
This hotel on the shores of Lake Maggiore combines the charm of a Ticino house with medieval walls and modern architecture in the heart of Ascona, a town characterized by historic buildings from the 13th century and the Renaissance, stately patrician houses and simple fishermen's houses. It is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel to the historic center with its restaurants and boutiques and to the harbor. It is therefore no problem at all that 'only' breakfast is served here, as this gives you the freedom to explore Ascona and its surroundings with all their culinary delights.
Wake up in the morning to a view of Lake Maggiore, flanked by majestic mountains. The 21 rooms, 12 of which have a view of the lake, are not lavishly large, but are furnished in a contemporary style with attractive design details such as color and light accents. The former Villa Beau Rivage was renovated in 2007 and is particularly enchanting thanks to its successful synthesis of the past with medieval fragments and contemporary modern design in a particularly central, beautiful location. After a stroll through the city or an excursion into the countryside, you can relax in the indoor pool with whirlpool, in summer on the 350 square meter terrace or on cooler days in the reading room by the fireplace in a 13th century tower.
Incidentally, the current name Meridiana goes back to the ancient sundial that can be seen both on the façade and inside the hotel. It measures time based on the position of the sun and hopefully only gives guests happy hours ...
