Plan Your Stay

Ascona Retreat — Wellness, Culture and the Ascona Experience

Plan your stay in Ascona at the Archivio Luigi Pericle, hosted by Hotel Ascona, and discover Ascona Retreat — an experience where culture, landscape and inner wellbeing come together in a quiet and meaningful way.

Ascona Retreat offers a refined approach to living Ascona: a space for slowing down, reconnecting and engaging with a place rich in artistic, spiritual and humanistic history.

A Cultural and Inner Experience

At the heart of the retreat is a carefully shaped balance between:

time for oneself
meaningful cultural context
gentle practices that support presence and awareness

Guests are invited to experience Ascona not only as a destination, but as a living environment — where nature, history and interiority naturally meet.

Personalized listening sessions using binaural sound are available as part of the experience, offering a subtle and supportive way to relax, focus and reconnect inwardly. These sessions remain optional and are integrated with discretion into the overall stay.

A Culinary Approach

The retreat includes a curated vegetarian culinary experience inspired by Mediterranean simplicity and local Swiss-Italian ingredients.

Meals are light, seasonal and nourishing — designed to support clarity, vitality and emotional balance, in harmony with the rhythm of the day.

Gentle Wellness

Optional wellness moments accompany the stay:

mindful breathing
light movement and stretching
quiet relaxation in panoramic spaces

These are simple, non-intrusive practices that allow the body and mind to settle, helping guests integrate the experience in a natural way.

The Landscape as Part of the Journey

The experience extends beyond the hotel into the surrounding environment:

gardens and lakeside promenades
walking paths and natural viewpoints
culturally significant places linked to Ascona and Monte Verità

Walking through these spaces becomes an organic extension of the retreat — a form of reflection in movement.

A Tailor-Made Stay

Each stay is shaped individually, according to personal rhythm and intention.

There is no fixed program: moments of quiet, cultural exploration, nourishment and optional practices are woven together into a flexible and elegant framework.

Guests also have access to a curated library and film selection on themes of art, spirituality, landscape and contemplative culture.

A Thoughtful Invitation

Ascona Retreat is offered as part of a broader vision of hospitality rooted in culture, care and depth.

Rather than a standardized service, it follows a selective and intentional approach. Participation requests are considered individually, so that the experience may remain authentic, balanced and meaningful for each guest.
