Villa with 17 rooms on sale in Collina - 990 m²

Set into the hillside of Porza, on the slope that looks towards Lake Lugano and Monte San Salvatore, Villa Sissi stands in extensive private grounds of 3'096 square metres, from which the outlook extends from the hills of the Capriasca to the lake, in one of the most discreet residential settings of the Lugano area. The property brings together two buildings, both completed in 2013, which share the grounds and the perimeter while remaining entirely independent of one another.

The main villa is arranged over three floors served by a lift, amounting to 659 square metres. On the entrance level, a marble hall opens into the living room, which gives onto the portico and the garden through full-height windows, and into the fireplace room, dominated by an imposing carved stone hearth; the same level holds the dining room, a kitchen in solid wood and natural stone, a study and a guest bathroom.

On the floor above, the sleeping quarters bring together the principal suite and three further bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, all opening onto the panoramic terrace that runs the full length of the front of the house.

The lower level is given to wellness and holds a free-form Biodesign indoor pool, glazed to full height onto the lawn, alongside a steam room, an experience shower and a gym. A laundry, plant rooms and a bedroom with private bathroom complete the floor.

The guest house, 331 square metres over three floors, brings together two self-contained apartments of three and two bedrooms, each with its own entrance, its own kitchen and its own outdoor space, for guests, staff or more than one household living independently.

The partly terraced grounds include a kitchen garden, an ornamental pond and a covered garage for three cars. Development reserves remain, on which further living space or an outdoor pool may be built.
