About Boutique Hotel La Rocca

Set on a hillside above Lake Maggiore, Boutique Hotel La Rocca gives you brilliant views across the lake to the Brissago Islands and mountains beyond. It’s in the quiet village of Ronco sopra Ascona, just a 10-minute drive from Ascona, with plenty of scenic walking routes and the beautiful Ticino countryside right on your doorstep. And with the Ticino Ticket included, you can hop on public transport for free and discover more of the region without needing to worry about driving.

After a day out exploring, the hotel is a lovely place to slow things down. Take a dip at the lakeside lido, around 10 minutes from the hotel, or find a spot to sit back and enjoy the sunshine and those all-important lake views. There’s also a restaurant serving up tasty Mediterranean dishes, with panoramic views that make dinner feel like a special occasion - especially when the sun starts to set.

The rooms are comfortable and simply styled, with Lake Maggiore views and many with a balcony or terrace.  Add in the peaceful setting, beautiful scenery and plenty to explore nearby, and you’ve got a pretty good spot to settle into Ticino.

Discover Ascona

Voted the 'Swiss village of the year' in 2025, Ascona is a true jewel located on the shores of Lake Maggiore. This former fishing village perfectly blends tradition and innovation - while serving up some seriously stunning views. Picture this: you're walking down winding alleys or along the shoreline of the crystal waters. Colourful painted houses line either side of the streets as palm trees sway overhead against a backdrop of sweeping mountains. Pretty spectacular, right?

The Mediterranean vibe extends further than the historical architecture and outdoor dining. Thanks to the Ticino region's climate, Ascona enjoys warmer weather compared to the rest of Switzerland. Spend your days strolling through the lush gardens, exploring the charming old town's art galleries and quiet piazzas or go further afield and visit the neighbouring towns of Locarno and Brissago. 

From high-thrill paragliding to sunny afternoons on the golf course, Ascona is a summer destination built for every speed. Gear up for action on the waves with some water sports, or simply let the stone paths within the resort lead you wherever they choose. Best of all, the local food and drink scene is just as exceptional as the views. The Ticino region combines Swiss quality with the best of Italian cuisine. Stop for lunch and try some of the fresh catches from the lake, or relax by the water for dinner with a creamy risotto. Paired with a glass of local Merlot wine, it doesn't get much better than this. And of course, you have to top it off with a walk along the waterfront, a gelato in hand.
