"Ascetically pleasing"? What a concept! I love it! Kinda like "religiously open-minded" or "faithfully apostate"...
(Of course, the original article was actually talking about "aesthetically pleasing", which is something else semantically, orthographically and even phonetically. It's an amusing accident of language history that "aesthetic" and "ascetic" are nonetheless confusable despite their differences. Your confusion has provided me with an especially delicious oxymoron. Thank you.)
