Set within the gently elevated landscape of Montagnola, in one of the most discreet and sought-after areas of Collina d'Oro, this residence enjoys a position of complete privacy and tranquillity, within a 3,666 sqm property. The setting reflects a cultivated and understated way of living, just a short distance from Lugano, major transport links and TASIS – The American School in Switzerland.
The residence is the result of a project by architect Mario Botta, clearly recognisable for its disciplined architectural language and compositional clarity. The main semicircular volume forms the core of the design and is complemented by a rectilinear structure dedicated to wellness and fitness areas. The contemporary architectural approach is conceived to enhance the relationship between natural light, space and materials, shaping interiors of generous proportions and strong identity.

West-facing and set in a quiet, sunlit environment, the villa benefits from a high degree of privacy. At garden level, an indoor overflow swimming pool (80 cbm), fully openable through floor-to-ceiling glazed surfaces, creates a seamless visual and spatial connection between the wellness area and the landscaped garden.

The internal layout unfolds over four levels, with a clear separation between living areas, sleeping quarters and spaces dedicated to wellbeing and conviviality. The entrance level features a generous atrium overlooking the lower floors, the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a guest bedroom with access to the covered terrace and an additional bathroom. The upper floor is entirely dedicated to the living area, comprising a fireplace lounge, dining room and open kitchen, all opening onto the covered terrace and the internal gallery. The garden level accommodates, in addition to the pool, a sauna, a bar area with service kitchen, an event-ready space, a study and three bedrooms. Service rooms, wine cellar, laundry, technical areas and shelter are located on the lower level.

Finishes include Peccia marble flooring throughout the villa, onyx-finished bathrooms, metal staircases with wooden treads and an internal lift. The property is equipped with a heat-pump heating system and central vacuum system. Vehicular access is available both at the main entrance and at garden level; the property offers a garage for eight cars, four covered parking spaces and additional outdoor parking.
