THE ART OF LIVING Two Iconic Residences with Lake Views In one of the most exclusive and private locations of the Collina d'Oro, just minutes from the center of Lugano, rise two contemporary villas that redefine the very concept of prestigious living. Not mere properties, but authentic architectural statements. A place where absolute privacy, breathtaking views and signature design come together in perfect balance. Here the city remains close but does not encroach. Nature embraces, protects, inspires. An Architecture that Dialogues with the Landscape Facing southwest on a dominant lot, the villas are designed to capture light from dawn to dusk, offering open views of the lake and a constant feeling of space and freedom. Volumes, rotated with geometric precision, generate movement and visual separation, ensuring total privacy. Powerful, textured fair-faced concrete meets full-height glazed surfaces that dissolve the boundaries between interior and exterior. Natural wood, Palladian and metal details complement a sophisticated, essential, timeless architectural language. Every line is thought out. Every perspective is studied. Every room is designed to excite. Spaces that Tell a New Concept of Luxury The living area opens into a dramatic double-height volume flooded with natural light. Large windows flow out to panoramic terraces and private gardens, creating a fluid continuum between architecture and nature. Pools, perfectly integrated into the landscape, become reserved pools of water, places of absolute quiet where time seems suspended. The sleeping area, conceived as a private retreat, guarantees silence and intimacy. Master suites, with wardrobes and designer en-suite bathrooms, evoke the atmosphere of a five-star hotel suite, but with the intimacy of home. Private elevators, large garages, technical rooms and service spaces complete a level of comfort designed for a demanding, international clientele. Villa A Grandeur and Representation A residence with a strong personality, ideal for those who desire generous spaces and a distinctive architectural presence. Private garage with 6 parking spaces Interior elevator on all levels Scenic living with double height 4 total bedrooms Master suite with panoramic terrace Spacious garden and private pool Dominant lake view A residence designed to welcome, represent, live without compromise.

Hidden among the gentle hills of Bioggio, just minutes from Lugano, this remarkable country residence, Casa Barnino, offers a rare balance of heritage, privacy and understated elegance. Surrounded by vineyards and rolling greenery, the property enjoys a profound sense of tranquility while remaining closely connected to the cultural and economic vitality of the Lugano Region. From the house and its upper levels, the view opens southward across a magnificent panorama of Lake Lugano and the surrounding mountains, the water forming a luminous and ever-changing backdrop that accompanies the estate throughout the seasons. The origins of the residence date back several centuries. The property underwent an important restoration in 18th century and was comprehensively renovated in 1984, followed by further updates between 2006 and 2021. Each intervention was carried out with particular care for the historic structure, preserving its architectural character while introducing contemporary systems and modern comfort with discretion. 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.

Set on its own hillside, five minutes from the centre of Lugano, Villa Giada occupies a commanding and secluded position. Its own woodland wraps the house on every side and sets it apart from the rest of the hill, while the view ahead opens onto Lake Lugano and Monte San Salvatore. The setting is quiet and self-contained, the house living off its own garden and the light that crosses it from one side to the other. The property extends over roughly 6.2 hectares of land. Around the house, the landscaped garden of more than a thousand square metres accompanies the portico and the outdoor areas; beyond it, the owned woodland forms a natural belt that shelters the residence and secures its privacy over time. It is a holding that belongs entirely to the villa and sets it apart from its surroundings. The entrance opens into a full-height atrium. Symmetrical side staircases, high ceilings and marble floors establish the scale and proportion of the interiors from the outset. From here the house unfolds across the main living floor, arranged around an open-plan living room of roughly one hundred square metres: damask marble flooring, a central fireplace and continuous glazing that draws the garden inside. The same level holds a study with a fireplace facing the grounds, a TV room, a formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen with double ovens and a wine cellar, opening directly onto the portico and the outdoor dining areas. The upper floor is given over to rest. Two suites, each more than thirty square metres, have a bathroom with shower and whirlpool tub, a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and a private terrace. From the terraces, turned towards the lake, the view descends over the water and the landscape, in the stillness particular to this position. The lower level gathers the wellness spaces. An indoor pool with glazed walls faces the garden, alongside a sauna and a gym; a third bedroom with bathroom, a vaulted wine cellar, the laundry and the plant rooms complete the floor. Here too natural light takes the lead, carried by the glazing that opens onto the greenery and dispels any sense of being below ground. Built in 2014, the property combines generous spaces with current technical provision: underfloor heating with a heat pump, triple-glazed windows, photovoltaic panels, integrated climate control and a security system. Outside, the landscaped garden, the portico and several private parking spaces complete an estate made to be lived in year-round, a short distance from the amenities and the leading international schools of the Lugano area.
