In my 35th year I accompanied a friend to Europe.
The fourth day of the two-week vacation found us in Ascona, on Lago Maggiore. We stayed three nights at the Hotel Ascolago, which were the best of the entire trip! The staff at the hotel had lost our reservation, made months in advance, but worked quickly to prepare a room for us. All areas of the hotel were immaculate, second only to the hotel in Paris. No other hotel during the vacation had as nicely-appointed, nor as large, a bathroom.
The food in the elegant dining room was superb, and the Italian waitservice the best of the entire trip.
I would stay at the Hotel Ascolago again, without hesitation!
