ABOUT US
La Gioia –
the joy
You can purchase jewellery and art – simply make a non-binding enquiry. Alternatively, relax and spend the night as our guest and recharge your batteries. It’s up to you – the main thing is that you feel comfortable here!
Money alone doesn’t bring happiness. However, when it is used to purchase beautiful things that bring joy such as jewellery and art, you’ll find yourself greeted with radiant faces and smiling people who are celebrating the magic of the moment. That is simply fantastic!


ABOUT US
Far more than expected
We offer you and your friends a great deal of privacy if you are looking for peace and relaxation…and in a place like no other.
You’ll also have the opportunity to celebrate the purchase of wonderful and valuable things with all of your senses. In a way that you might not have experienced before. Be inspired by our artwork, try on our jewellery with a glass of wine in hand, atmospheric background music and breathtaking views across Lago Maggiore.
We are the slow-paced alternative to a city centre: shop, enjoy yourself, relax, make time for yourself, stop and let go, since you don’t need to travel home afterwards. We can accommodate up to 6 guests here.

ABOUT US
Your personal
secret Hideaway
La Gioia is just 2 kilometres from Ascona, nestled amongst the steep cliffs of Ronco sopra Ascona, around 70 metres above Lago Maggiore. It’s a 2,000 m2 oasis surrounded by forests. We can be reached via a private gondola lift. Our 3 modern, exquisitely furnished suites offer magnificent panoramic views across the lake to the Isola di Brissago. On certain days and in special light conditions, this island appears as though it is floating in mid-air.
Admire the wonderful collection of paintings and sculptures outside, surrounded by local plants and natural stone walls.
Find relaxation, joy and inspiration at La Gioia Ascona.

ABOUT US
Philosophy
Our goal is to offer our guests an unforgettable stay that combines positive emotions with wonderful products.
We were greatly inspired on a trip to South Africa. For us, plants are just as much a work of art as paintings and sculptures. We’re energetic rather than esoteric: we draw energy from nature, art, music and good food alike. We laugh together, enjoy the moment, sometimes enjoy a drink, and love relaxed conversations with like-minded people. Everyone deserves to find happiness in something…and we love it whenever this happens.
We love to celebrate in style, don’t you? Then come and visit us!

ABOUT US
Our location
in the north
We promote art and are in close contact with ‘our’ artists. One of them is Hamburg painter Michael Sazarin. His work enjoys international recognition and his studio is situated in Hamburg. Our relationship with our artists is very important to us. That’s why we set up a branch in the north German Hanseatic city. Our Creative Art Director, Kamil Frackowiak, is based at our Hamburg office and is responsible for looking after our artists. He discusses and plans upcoming series of paintings and art projects with them, experiments with new techniques in workshops and coordinates the schedule and transportation of paintings. As a result, the Hamburg site forms a bridge between the artists and La Gioia Ascona Arthouse in Ronco sopra Ascona.
All design work and advertising for La Gioia Ascona is also managed from Hamburg. (Photo: Michael Sazarin and Kamil Frackowiak)
