Photos and words cannot do this wonderful place justice. The location is simply breathtaking and once the last ferry leaves around 5:30pm you have the entire island to yourself with the other few hotel guests (10 rooms in total). There are picturesque viewpoints all around the island in the various areas of the botanical garden, where the vegetation is assembled by world region. The restaurant, while expensive, is worth every penny. Certainly one of the best dining experiences we have ever had - an intimate, quiet, superbly delicious meal looking out over the lake to the lovely town of Ascona under the kind and watchful eye of the restaurant manager who handles all table duties alone.

Absolutely fantastic location, total paradise and the botanical gardens of Ticino all to yourself after 18,00hrs. Excellent restaurant with knowledgeable staff. Well worth the price !

Villa Emden was absolutely amazing. Such a peaceful hotel on a beautiful tiny island in the middle of a Swiss lake. You really have the feeling you have the whole island to yourself.

A beautiful villa, on a magical botanical island, with an absolutely outstanding cuisine. I loved strolling the garden, and swimming in the glorious Lago Maggiore

An absolute secret. The most exclusive private place at an most average rate on this beautiful island 10’ from Ascona by taxi or public boat. Beautiful interior design with attention to every little detail in this most historic building. Lovely beach towels and color assorted umbrellas, in case it would rain. Exquisite assortiment of high class teas in addition to the standard nespresso in the room. An outstanding restaurant with most attentive, personalized service with prime quality delicious food, just for the hotel guests. You feel like a queen. Bravo to the team. Just hope it stays a secret.
