Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Tamaro

Piazza Giuseppe Motta 35, Ascona, Ticino, 6612, Switzerland

The shuttered windows of this 18th-century patrician house overlook the waterfront, and inside you can lounge in sitting rooms richly furnished with precious antiques, handsome books, and even a grand piano. The rooms range from lavish corner doubles with lake views to tiny quarters overlooking the courtyard that are an excellent value.
