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.

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.

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.

Set in a commanding position, this residence is renowned for its refined and elegant architecture. Originally built in 1902 as a 5-star hotel, Residenza Bristol became a symbol of Lugano's affluent and cosmopolitan lifestyle for many decades.

Within the verdant setting of Cademario, this architect-designed residence overlooks both branches of Lake Lugano and the Malcantone landscape. Its elevated position and surrounding nature define a secluded and tranquil environment that nonetheless remains well connected to the city: Lugano can be reached in approximately twenty minutes, while road access and public transport links are located nearby. Designed in 1953 by architect Alberto Camenzind, a significant figure in Swiss architecture of the second half of the twentieth century, and renovated between 2012 and 2013, the property extends across approximately 400 sqm arranged over two levels. The interiors comprise five bedrooms, five bathrooms, study, office, fitness area and flexible rooms adaptable for guests or personal pursuits such as atelier, studio or home office. Access is via a private driveway leading to the parking area with eight spaces, three of which are covered. The interiors feature carefully selected materials and refined finishes, offering generous, well-proportioned volumes suited to a variety of residential uses. A garden of approximately 1,200 sqm extends the living dimension outdoors in continuity with the natural surroundings; a separate agricultural plot of over 20,000 sqm is available upon request. An outdoor swimming pool overlooking the panorama completes the property. An independent survey conducted on site also identified particularly favourable environmental and bioenergetic conditions. Measurements carried out with specialised instruments indicate values notably above commonly accepted neutral reference parameters throughout both the interior spaces and the garden, with higher peaks recorded in areas suited to contemplation and no detectable electromagnetic disturbance. While not of determinative real estate relevance, this constitutes an ancillary aspect that offers an additional perspective on the relationship between architecture, landscape and experiential quality of habitation.
