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.

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.

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.

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.

In one of Lugano's most prestigious and peaceful residential areas, within the refined setting of Residenza Conventino and next to the renowned Hotel Principe Leopoldo, this elegant triplex apartment offers a rare balance of privacy, sophistication and comfort. Fully renovated with high-quality materials and a meticulous attention to detail, it conveys a sense of understated refinement throughout. The property extends over three levels and offers about 186 m² of living space with bright, well-proportioned interiors. Each floor expresses an elegant, contemporary style that merges functionality and aesthetics with effortless coherence. The lower level, accessible directly from the garage through an internal corridor, includes a spacious dressing room of approximately 25 m² with custom-made built-in wardrobes, a laundry room with shower and an illuminated staircase connecting the three floors. The laundry area could easily be converted into a third bedroom with private bathroom if desired. On the ground floor, the main entrance leads to the sleeping area. The master bedroom features an en suite bathroom with shower, while the second bedroom also has its own en suite with both bathtub and shower. Each space is filled with natural light and enhanced by carefully chosen materials that create a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The upper floor hosts the living area, designed as a generous open space where the dining area and living room share the same volume, subtly divided by the central staircase that adds structure and character. Large windows enhance the sense of openness and lead out to a 33.5 m² terrace from the living room, while both the kitchen and living area provide access to an 11.6 m² balcony. A guest bathroom completes this level. Two parking spaces in the garage and a cellar complete the property. Residents benefit from direct access to the hotel complex and may enjoy the services of the Hotel Principe Leopoldo, including the restaurant, swimming pool, fitness and wellness area. Its prime location, only a few minutes from the city centre of Lugano, TASIS, the airport and the motorway, ensures excellent connections while maintaining full privacy. A distinctive residence where architecture, quality and comfort come together in perfect balance. Secondary residence permitted.

In Pazzallo, in a strategic position just a few minutes from the centre of Lugano, the motorway access and the main services, this 3.5-room apartment is located within Torre Beta, a modern residential building set in a private and surprisingly quiet context. Its proximity to the main connections does not compromise the quality of living: the apartment enjoys a protected, intimate and pleasantly secluded atmosphere. Situated on the third floor, the apartment offers a functional and well-organised layout. The entrance opens onto a hallway with a small wardrobe area, leading to the sleeping quarters, composed of two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a bathtub and one with a shower. The corridor then leads to the living area, arranged with a sitting room, dining area and kitchen, with direct access to the terrace. The terrace is one of the most appealing features of the apartment. Overlooking the communal garden and the woodland behind the building, it offers a pleasant outlook onto the greenery, a partial lake view and a rare sense of tranquillity in such a well-connected location. It is a discreet and sheltered outdoor space, ideal for moments outside, away from the pressure of the urban setting. The interiors are well proportioned and designed for practical, comfortable everyday living. The separation between the sleeping area and the living spaces gives the apartment a clear and orderly layout, while the openings towards the exterior enhance the natural light and the relationship with the surrounding greenery. Torre Beta is a contemporary residential building composed of apartments of different sizes, with a communal garden shaped by gentle green dunes and terraces designed to preserve the privacy of the living spaces. The context is well maintained, orderly and particularly appealing for those wishing to live close to Lugano without giving up privacy and quiet. The property is completed by a private cellar, three parking spaces in the garage and access to the communal laundry room. Also available as secondary residence. A private and well-distributed apartment, conceived for those seeking a practical, quiet home surrounded by greenery, with the immediate convenience of the city and its main connections.
