Villa Sissi - A charming retreat on Lake Lugano

In one of the most exclusive and peaceful residential areas of Porza, nestled in an environment of absolute privacy, stands Villa Sissi—a refined residence of extraordinary charm, overlooking a vast and captivating panorama that stretches from the rolling hills of Capriasca to Monte San Salvatore. The setting is tranquil and secluded, yet only minutes away from the centre of Lugano and all essential services.

Access to the property is granted via an elegant private driveway, beautifully lit and landscaped. The grounds span over 3,000 sqm and host the main villa and an independent guesthouse, both surrounded by a meticulously maintained, partially terraced garden equipped with an irrigation system and ambient lighting.

The main villa, completely renovated and extended in 2013, is spread across three floors served by an internal lift, offering a living space of approx. 659 sqm, in addition to 90 sqm of terraces and porticoes. The interiors are crafted with exquisite attention to detail: fine parquet flooring in the sleeping quarters, custom-made boiseries, high-quality marble finishes, state-of-the-art technology, a comprehensive alarm and video surveillance system, and air conditioning throughout.

On the ground floor, a spacious marble entrance hall opens into a luminous living area with floor-to-ceiling windows and a majestic fireplace in ornate natural stone. The living space also includes a dining room, a gourmet kitchen made of solid wood and natural stone, a study (which can be converted into an additional bedroom), and a stylish guest bathroom. These rooms open onto a covered portico leading to the manicured garden, featuring an al fresco dining area, a pond, and charming landscaped corners.

The first floor houses the sleeping quarters, including a generous master suite with an en-suite bathroom featuring both a whirlpool tub and a shower, along with three additional bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. All rooms have access to a panoramic terrace boasting breathtaking views over Lake Lugano.

The lower level is dedicated to wellness and relaxation, with a striking Biodesign indoor pool framed by full-height glass walls, a SPA area with Turkish bath, sensory shower, and a fitness corner. This level also hosts utility and service rooms: a laundry, technical areas, storage spaces, and a guest bedroom with private bathroom—easily convertible into an independent apartment if desired.

The property includes a covered garage for three cars and ample outdoor parking. The landscaped garden gracefully surrounds the residence and features a vegetable garden, as well as significant potential for further development—including the construction of additional living space or an outdoor swimming pool.

The guesthouse, also built in 2013, is completely independent and extends across three levels, with approx. 331 sqm of living space and 60 sqm of terraces and balconies. It is divided into two separate apartments:

• On the first floor, a 2-bedroom apartment with open-plan kitchen and living room, two bathrooms, and a panoramic terrace.
• On the ground floor, a 3-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms, a private garden, and a large terrace.

The lower floor of the guesthouse includes a laundry room, technical areas, and versatile additional spaces.

A prestigious residence designed for those who seek to live in harmony with elegance, comfort, and nature—set in one of the m

ost sought-after locations in the Lugano region.
