Stay in Ascona for the Jazz Festival

Let the magical and international atmosphere of Ascona during the Jazz festival (23.06.11 - 03.07.11) – the most traditional appointment - take you over. Jazz will set the rhythm for the hundreds of concerts, celebrations in the square and exhibitions that will be held in the little Swiss town.

1st Day: arrive in Ghiffa, settle in the 4-star Ghiffa hotel. The hotel is right by the lake and has a beautiful swimming pool and a mooring point for motorboats. Dinner and overnight stay.

2nd Day: outing to the Borromean Islands. You will reach Intra by car. Ferries for the small islands that made the gulf famous depart from here. The scheduled visits are: Isola Madre and its unique English garden, Isola Pescatori (where a traditional lunch will be waiting for you), Isola Bella with its Baroque palace and the Italian garden. The return to the hotel and departure for Ascona are scheduled for late in the afternoon. There is a magical atmosphere on the lakefront of the little Swiss town. Jazz groups from all over the world meet and hold evening concerts that fill your heart with joy. We highly recommend attending this event!!! (price of ticket at the entrance: about 12 Euro)

3rd Day: today you can relax by the pool in the hotel. We recommend dining in the Lido Beach of Baveno, a restaurant with lounge music, built on the beach. There is dancing after the meal, the perfect way to continue enjoying the music and celebrations...
