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.

ust outside central Lugano, in the residential setting of Sorengo, this early twentieth-century villa occupies a secluded position within approximately 2,469 m² of private grounds. Mature planting, open lawns and views towards the lake create a notably private environment within easy reach of the city, Franklin University Switzerland and TASIS. Built in 1910, the villa extends across four levels and offers approximately 510 m² of living space. Its original architectural character remains visible in the entrance hall, central staircase, arched windows and wood-panelled salon with fireplace. The main floor accommodates the reception rooms: a generous living room, dining room, wood-panelled salon with fireplace, separate kitchen and guest bathroom. The upper floor comprises the principal suite with en-suite bathroom and private terrace, two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom. The attic level provides further bedrooms and a versatile room, while the lower floor contains leisure and service areas, with the potential to create a self-contained unit. A separate building used as an annex and a garage for two cars complete the property. The estate underwent several improvement works between 2015 and 2019. From a planning perspective, plot no. 140 lies within a residential zone. Article 28 of the implementing regulations provides for a maximum building height of 10 metres and a maximum floor area ratio of 0.6. At least 40% of the developable plot area must remain free of buildings and, as a rule, at least half of this portion must be landscaped as green space. Applied to the entire plot, the floor area ratio results in a theoretical maximum gross floor area of approximately 1,481 m². The effective remaining development capacity must be established through a dedicated technical assessment, taking into account the floor area already utilised, the required setbacks, access arrangements and any further applicable restrictions. The scale of the land therefore allows for different architectural directions, ranging from the preservation and contemporary reinterpretation of the existing villa to a broader development project, subject in each case to the necessary technical reviews and approvals. Available for use as a second home.

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.

This simple and authentic feature reflects the rural origins of the residence and its long relationship with the surrounding landscape.

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.

Above Minusio, in a private and commanding position, Casa Ai Pozzi opens onto Lake Maggiore with a contemporary architectural language that is essential, precise, and immediately recognisable. The villa occupies the landscape with a measured and rigorous presence: a volume of concrete and glass, surrounded by greenery and oriented towards the lake and the outline of the mountains. The property is arranged over two levels, defined by continuous glazed surfaces that place the concrete structure in relation with light, views, and the depth of the landscape. The architecture is based on a limited number of elements, handled with remarkable coherence. The upper floor accommodates a generous open-plan space of approximately 180 m², conceived as one expansive living volume. The living area, kitchen with island, and convivial spaces are arranged within a luminous and continuous environment, shaped by the constant presence of the lake. The lower floor, also measuring approximately 180 m², is dedicated to the sleeping area, organised into two distinct sections. The bathrooms on the two levels, one with a shower and the other with a bathtub, are integrated within two mirrored pyramidal concrete pillars. These elements not only form the load-bearing structure of the building, but also define the formal identity of the villa and articulate its spaces with sculptural strength. The large covered terraces, oriented to the north and south, extend the living areas towards the garden and introduce private outdoor spaces conceived for experiencing the greenery, the water, and the view at different times of the day. The name Casa Ai Pozzi refers to the watercourses and natural pools that descend from Monte Cardada towards the lake. The project interprets this presence through architecture: the water is collected and guided through an upper and a lower basin, creating reflections, transparencies, and shifting light effects that pass through the house and define its iconic character. Casa Ai Pozzi has been featured in specialised publications, confirming its status as one of the most significant design properties in the region. The property is completed by an independent guest annex, with guest apartment and service rooms, an extensive surrounding garden, and several private parking spaces. The property may be acquired as a secondary residence. Casa Ai Pozzi is an architect-designed villa for those who recognise architecture as a form of thought: rigorous, luminous, silent, and capable of transforming light, water, and landscape into a residential experience of rare precision.
