Villa Pierina was born as the highest expression of someone who has made it in life. At the beginning of the 20th century, Francesco Avanzini, a successful emigrant from Curio to Argentina, decided to commission the construction of Villa Pierina. The villa had to tangibly represent 'the spirit of successful return' to the homeland of for one who had achieved wealth and status in distant foreign lands. At that time, architect Giuseppe Bordonzotti, highly respected in Ticino for his Art Nouveau style of eclecticism, was contacted to take charge of the project. What followed was an intense exchange of correspondence of projects, variants, observations between Ticino and then thriving Argentine Capital of Buenos Aires. At that stage, the client's desire for the building to reflect 'American Long Island Grandeur' often clashed with architect Bordonzotti's desire for local architectural elements to prevail. Finally in 1909, construction work on Villa Pierina began. Completed in 1910, the villa is named after Francesco Avanzini's daughter. Purchased later by a wealthy German family, the building was entirely and tastefully renovated with noble materials, restoring its due 'grandeur'. A prestigious Art Nouveau, turn of the century, country estate which is listed as a cultural asset, Villa Pierina dominates the village of Curio with its regal elegance. Entirely renovated in 2012 using the noblest and most luxurious materials, the villa, with its four floors characterized by large, bright rooms, stands out as a residence of great distinction. High ceilings, large chandeliers, herringbone walnut parquet flooring, inlaid fireplaces, a discrete internal lift, and perfectly restored original frescos are just some of the prestigious elements of Villa Pierina. Its sunny south-eastern exposure and ample large terraces, offers an enchanting view of nature, the village and Lake Lugano. The park houses a large, heated swimming pool with sunbathing area and the villa is accessed via a majestic curved raised tree lined driveway which adds further significance to this magnificent historic estate. Today, Villa Pierina, one of Ticino's standout famous buildings, is waiting for a new owner to continue its prestigious history.

On the serene western shores of Lake Maggiore, nestled among centuries-old trees and with direct access to the crystal-clear waters, stands Villa Ada Troubetzkoy — a masterpiece of 19th-century elegance and one of the most historically significant private estates in Northern Italy. Commissioned in 1866 by Russian prince and botanist Pyotr Troubetzkoy, this estate is not simply a villa — it is a cultural landmark. A sanctuary of refinement, artistry, and aristocratic heritage, Villa Ada blends Russian nobility with the romantic sensibilities of Italian architecture, brought to life by the story of Troubetzkoy and his American wife, opera singer Ada Winans. Together, they transformed this estate into an intellectual and artistic salon frequented by luminaries of their time — from U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant to celebrated actress Eleonora Duse, and from painters like Daniele Ranzoni to composer Alfredo Catalani. Their son, Paolo Troubetzkoy, born and raised in the villa, would go on to become one of the most acclaimed sculptors of his generation, with works now displayed in major museums across Europe. Architectural Distinction and Modern Comfort Villa Ada Troubetzkoy spans over 900 sqm across four levels, elegantly connected by both staircase and elevator. The main floor hosts an opulent living room with lake views, a formal dining hall, a music salon, library, and a spacious kitchen. A private sauna, laundry area, and service facilities ensure modern-day comfort is seamlessly integrated with historic charm. Across the upper floors, the villa offers a total of nine bedrooms and ten bathrooms, thoughtfully distributed among several independent apartments, ideal for hosting guests or family with complete privacy. The master suite opens onto a spectacular 90 sqm terrace offering panoramic views over Lake Maggiore. Every space in the residence is enriched with period details: frescoed ceilings, hand-carved marble fireplaces, intricate moldings, and original wrought iron balconies. A Botanical Estate Unlike Any Other The villa is enveloped by an extraordinary 23,000 sqm private botanical park, established by the prince himself, who introduced exotic species and rare camellias to the region — a collection that would later influence the landscape culture of Piedmont. Among the highlights: a historic winter garden, once an orangerie and lemon house, now restored as an enchanting retreat with a fireplace and traditional wood-fired oven. The estate’s grounds also include a private beach, an extremely rare amenity on Lake Maggiore, as well as four private boat moorings in the adjacent marina. Where Prestige Becomes Personal Few properties in Europe offer this rare confluence of historical gravitas, architectural refinement, and lakeside serenity. Villa Ada Troubetzkoy is not just a home — it is an heirloom of European culture, meticulously preserved and gently modernized for a new generation of discerning connoisseurs. For those who seek not only excellence, but legacy — this villa awaits. Disclaimer: The information is purely indicative and is in no way attributable to a contractual obligation.

Set within approximately 13,000 sqm of beautifully planted grounds and offering around 555 sqm of living space, the estate unfolds within a secluded, park-like landscape shaped by mature trees, ornamental plantings and a remarkable variety of botanical and fruit species that thrive in the mild climate of southern Ticino. The result is a rich and layered garden environment with a distinctly Mediterranean character. Arrival at the property follows a private driveway that leads to a small forecourt in front of the house with five parking spaces, some sheltered beneath a pergola covered with kiwi vines. This simple and authentic feature reflects the rural origins of the residence and its long relationship with the surrounding landscape. Casa Barnino embodies a refined dialogue between historic craftsmanship and modern comfort. Expansive windows frame sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, illuminating the living spaces and highlighting original details such as natural stone staircases and door niches.The living room, anchored by a fireplace, flows naturally into the kitchen, crafted in classic country style with warm wooden textures and subtle Mediterranean elegance. The adjoining dining area, with a second fireplace, forms a cozy and inviting heart for everyday living and entertaining. Bedrooms provide serene retreats, some opening onto gentle vews of Lake Lugano, while bathrooms reflect careful attention to materials and light: one in Verde Spluga green stone echoes the natural surroundings, while another frames a quiet view toward a mature oak tree, connecting interior and landscape. Each space transitions naturally to the next, blending historic character with contemporary refinement to create a home defined by light, serenity, and timeless elegance. Outdoor living forms an essential dimension of the estate. A portico courtyard with a large fireplace, kitchenette and dining area creates a natural setting for long summer evenings and relaxed gatherings. The grounds also include a swimming pool, a traditional boccia court, a fountain and three natural biotopes that enrich the ecological diversity of the garden while creating secluded corners for rest and contemplation. The property also includes an authentic wine cellar, a reminder of the long-standing viticultural tradition of the region, which has shaped the landscape of southern Ticino for generations. Within its expansive gardens, Casa Barnino offers a rare sense of place, where history, landscape and daily life unfold in quiet continuity. The property also offers potential for further expansion. Second homes are permitted for Swiss nationals or those holding a B permit.

In a hillside setting at Cassina d'Agno, minutes from the centre of Lugano, Villa Eden stands on an enclosed plot of 2,840 m² laid out as a private park. Camellias, palms and mature trees screen the estate on every side, while behind it the hillside rises in terraced vineyards.

An arrangement that allows guests to be received, private working quarters to be established or one of the units to be let, with no overlap between them. In the villa, the living room with fireplace flows into the dining area and opens onto the terrace and the three loggias of the south front, where light enters throughout the day.

The lower level, facing the garden, holds three working rooms, a glazed conservatory and the service quarters, with scope to create a self-contained apartment.
