Tamaro Resort Spa is located in Rivera in the Canton of Ticino, the Italian-speaking canton of southern Switzerland where the Alpine landscape meets the Mediterranean warmth of the Lombard lakes in a cultural zone that combines Swiss precision with Italian la dolce vita — producing a uniquely appealing blend of efficiency and sensuality found nowhere else in the Confederation. Rivera sits at the foot of Monte Tamaro, whose summit chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli was designed by the architect Mario Botta and completed in 1996, becoming one of the most celebrated examples of contemporary religious architecture in Switzerland — a boldly geometric structure of rough stone that frames a painted loggia by Enzo Cucchi overlooking the Ticino valley and the distant Alps. The resort spa draws on oligomineral Alpine waters in a setting that captures Ticino's particular gift for combining natural mountain beauty, cultural sophistication, and the warm ease of Italian-speaking Switzerland.
