. Perched along the glittering shores of Lake Maggiore, this boutique hideaway and in-house jewelry atelier offers a new standard for the purchase of luxury engagement and wedding rings in Switzerland. Think: rings tailored to your love story, breathtaking lakeside views, and a romantic setting that feels equal parts chic escape and cinematic backdrop. The experience can even culminate in the perfect backdrop for a heartfelt proposal. At La Gioia Ascona, warmth and privacy take center stage – creating the perfect setting for a truly unique experience. Designer Martina Mittelmann and host Andreas Hoffmann go above and beyond to craft an unforgettable journey from start to finish.
Why We Love It
At La Gioia Ascona, ring shopping becomes more than a purchase – it transforms into an unforgettable pre-wedding experience. Guided by jewelry designer Martina Mittelmann, couples can personalize award-winning creations from Furrer Jacot, the world’s oldest wedding ring brand renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and timeless design. In addition, Martina showcases designs by Giloy and, of course, her own beautiful creations. This thoughtful, bespoke approach ensures that no two rings—or love stories—are ever alike. Picture yourselves sipping espresso (or champagne) by the lake, as you dream up the future together.
Where to Stay
The property’s boutique accommodations, aptly called The Hideaway, are designed for total privacy. Access to La Gioia begins with a touch of magic: a 100-meter private incline lift that glides silently through Ticino’s lush hillside greenery. Think: sweeping lake views, mornings spent wrapped in white linens, and evenings basking in golden-hour sunsets. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger just a little longer—and why not, when every detail is tailored for romance? And perhaps the most enchanting detail: Martina and Andreas invite each couple to enjoy a complimentary two-night stay at La Gioia Ascona – as their personal “wedding gift.” This thoughtful gesture transforms the purchase of an engagement or wedding ring into a romantic, pre-wedding escape you’ll never forget, not to mention a great opportunity to tour some local wedding venues! Wedding professionals know that Ascona—Switzerland’s answer to Lake Como—is a hidden gem for an unforgettable Italian-inspired wedding. Perched on the border of Lake Maggiore, it’s where Swiss precision and security meet Italian dolce far niente. Bravissimo!
Where to Dine
Ascona is a gourmand’s paradise. After your atelier appointment, head out for lakeside fine dining at Ecco (a 2 Star Michelin-starred gem at Giardino Ascona) or keep it chic and understated with contemporary Ticino cuisine at Ristorante Da Enzo in Ponte Brolla. Both pair beautifully with a celebratory glass of champagne post–“yes.”
Must-See Experiences
Beyond the atelier, Ascona itself is a playground for romance. Couples can explore the cobbled piazzas of Ascona hand in hand, take a private boat across Lake Maggiore, or venture to nearby Como or Milan for a splash of Italian fashion and flair. Adventurous pairs can chase Ticino’s waterfalls or hike into the surrounding mountains, while those craving calm can retreat to world-class spas nearby. Whether you’re ring shopping or simply celebrating love, every moment here feels like part of your never ending love story.
