Villa Sissi - A charming retreat on Lake Lugano

Set in an elevated and exceptionally discreet residential enclave of Porza, Villa Sissi enjoys a position defined by privacy, openness and long views stretching across the Capriasca hills towards Monte San Salvatore. The proximity to the centre of Lugano and its cultural and commercial life is immediate, yet remains entirely unobtrusive.

The property was comprehensively renovated and extended in 2013 and is arranged over three levels, all served by an internal lift. The villa offers approximately 659 m² of living space, complemented by a further 90 m² of terraces and covered outdoor areas. The interiors reflect a measured and coherent design language, with parquet flooring in the private quarters, bespoke wood panelling, natural marble surfaces, full climate control throughout and an integrated security system.

Access is via a private, illuminated driveway leading to a fully enclosed plot of over 3,000 m². The landscaped garden, partly terraced and equipped with automated irrigation and architectural lighting, accommodates both the main residence and a fully independent guesthouse.
