“Amazing historical building, very kind service - I want to return for more soon :-))”
Very kind people, at the reception and the service. Helpful with everything :-) Amazing restaurant / breakfast room. It is a real gem this building. It was the first post office in Ticino!! Wonderful historical building. But still with comfort for the guests. They have fantastic quality croissants for breakfast :-)) I want to try their restaurant next time. It is very cozy and inviting :-)

“Friendly and perfect stay”
We truely loved being in hotel Antica Posta in the center of Ascona, only 1 minute from the lake and 1 minute from the Municipal Museum of Modern Art. Very friendly and helpful team, great beds, super nice breakfast - ask for your favorite omelet - and very light and atmospheric! The rooms were pre-cooled on arrival and we received help with parking our car conveniently. Everything added to a perfect 3-day visit to Ascona, we'll be back!

Giada, Ivana and staff were exceptionally friendly, professional and helpful! The room was well appointed and hotel located right in the old town, minutes from the square, restaurants and shopping (and the welcome drink was sure appreciated!) Giada provided the code for car access, so bag drop off and pick up was easy. The buffet breakfast was delicious with optional cooked breakfast. Highly recommend this hotel and congratulations to staff and management for making us feel so welcome!
