Dining with Local Flavors
The trattoria unites gastronomy with the zest for life of the Ticinese. It serves Ticino specialities and Mediterranean classics. You can dine in the courtyard, which hosts weekly jazz concerts, or on the panoramic rooftop terrace. The restaurant serves a daily changing selection of dishes that reflect the best produce of the season, with local ingredients. The informal wine bar offers a list of wines. A continental breakfast is available every morning, featuring pastries, cakes, meats, cheeses, yoghurts, fruits, and juices. During jazz concerts on Saturday evenings, a three-course menu is served in the courtyard.
Leisure and Excursions
Art Hotel Riposo features a heated pool on the rooftop terrace. Guests can take a gondola ride or hike up to Cardada and Cimetta for views at an altitude of 1617m. The pilgrimage church of Madonna del Sasso, above Locarno, can be reached via a historic funicular. Excursions to the Verzasca Valley and Italian markets in Luino or Cannobio are available. Boat trips on the lake and visits to the Brissago Islands are recommended. Our jazz concerts have become a real tradition.
