About

Once a patrician residence built in the 18th century, the Hotel Tamaro can be found right on the banks of Lake Maggiore in the center of Ascona. Fine Swiss and Mediterranean cuisine is served under ancient vaults or in the charming covered courtyard. You can sip a drink in the quiet garden or on the terrace while enjoying the panoramic views of the lake. All rooms have a private bathroom, a mini-bar and a TV. Free WiFi is available in each unit. Within a 5-minute walk you can reach the Hotel Tamaro's dependance featuring a sunbathing lawn and an outdoor pool. The next beach can be reached on foot within 10 minutes. Limited parking is available in the garage on site. There is also a private parking area available for a surcharge a 5-minute walk away.

    From the beginning an awesome experience. The house is amazing beautiful, the staff very nice and competent to provide anything necessary. Best location, gorgeous lake view ?

    7VeranicaPosted on: 3-27-2025

    Was perfect location and room with lake view. Hotel exactly on lake promenade and a lot of restaurants around.

    Facilities for breakfast was limited and hotel car parking little bit far away, we just used city parking it’s was more comfortable.

    8YvonnePosted on: 10-21-2024

    The hotel leads directly onto the lakeside with its trees, restaurants and waterfront terraces. Its at the quieter end of the street close to the departure point for the boats and just a few steps form the charming small alleys of the old town. Wonderful to wake up to a lake view. The reception were very welcoming and happy to help. I was able to borrow a bicycle to visit a local museum. I would definitely stay here again.

    10MariaPosted on: 10-14-2024

    The location is extraordinary- in the center of the old town right in front of the lake. The hotel owner and the staff were welcoming, and happy to help in every way. The room, facing the lake, was charming, comfortable and quiet. The hotel, an old house turned into a hotel, is beautiful, and has a terrace facing the lake that is absolutely wonderful.

    I liked everything, I already want to return.

    10ThomasPosted on: 9-20-2024

    Nice staff. Great location!

    Everything okey. The bar opposite in the side street was a bit noisy.

    10remofritzschePosted on: 7-25-2024

    While corner terrace of room 102 facing the beautiful Piazza and the lake was breathtaking on its own, the staff has been friendly and accommodating, up-to-date air conditioning provided us with the necessary cool and the location could not be any more central with the boat pier and dozens of restaurants in immediate walking distance. I will definitely be back :)

    9CédricPosted on: 7-23-2024

    Extremely well located right at the lakeside promenade. Friendly and very helpful staff. Good parking options for a fair daily fee.

    The included breakfast was significantly smaller than in the previous stay.

    8LauraPosted on: 7-22-2024

    Very friendly stuff - everyone from the reception to the room service is nice and friendly! Everything works smoothly and uncomplicated. Easy to feel comfortable and immediately relax.They repair the shower even before I mentioned that something was not working properly. When I came back in the evening the shower was working perfectly again.Amazing common terrace where you can enjoy the beautiful view on the lake!

    10MajaPosted on: 7-20-2024

    Hotel Tomaro came as a surprise as I wasn't expecting wide stone-flagged hallways with antique furniture and rugs. Oil painings adorn the walls. There are even sumptuous sitting rooms should you want a quite place for reading or a chat. My room was well appointed, spacious and clean. The view across the lake is magnificent and well-worth the extra. The value is exceptional.

    I found the feather pillows to provide no support and would have preferred foam or latex. I also found the sound of furniture being moved upstairs grating - surely some rubber feet would fix that?And then there was the breakfast - a few slices of cold meat and cheese, a small cup of muesli and machine coffee leaves a lot to be desired. They could do so much better.

    10VoichitaPosted on: 5-20-2024

    The hotel is a little gem in the centre of Ascona, a truly warm and classic atmosphere in the best sense possible. The founding family is still in charge after 3 generations and you can feel the personalised care and attention for the guests. The views from the roof terrace are amazing and the whole structure is special, there are hidden treasures in every corner, including the art collection all over the property. It was an fantastic stay.

    Nothing to complain about.

    8JosePosted on: 4-29-2024

    Cousy hotel in the best location in Ascona. Warm personnel. It is highly recomended to get a room with vews over the lake. This makes indeed the difference. Enjoy the small saloons and the library, and also the roof terrace. Shuttle service to the parking very convenient.

    Great location, very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely building and rooms.

    Would be great if breakfast was included or at least coffee in the rooms.
