Overview

Villa built in 1960 on a hill overlooking the historic center of Mendrisio. The property is divided into three buildings accessed via a beautiful pink porphyry driveway: the main villa, the annex, and the caretaker's house. The latter was already present before 1960 and appears as a guesthouse in some old photos (as in the fresco on the wall facing the road). The villa is surrounded by a beautiful park with centuries-old trees, including maritime pines, Lebanese cedars, and beeches. The view of the plain is breathtaking, and on clear days you can see as far as Monte Rosa. The main building is on three levels (plus a basement), with a living area of around 950 square meters. There are five main bedrooms, plus three additional service bedrooms, and a total of seven bathrooms. There is a 60-square-meter party room with sliding glass doors opening onto a 40-square-meter covered terrace, connected to the dining room, with an additional balcony. Spacious kitchen and office, accessed through an additional door. The floors are all marble, except for the parquet in the dining room and the carpet in the bedrooms. The upper floor is accessed via a spectacular staircase in French red marble, where there is a very large hallway before the bedrooms. Another spectacular staircase in white marble leads to the attic, another 140 sqm space finely decorated in wood (originally designed as a library and 'leisure' room for listening to music). The park behind the villa includes a white marble table under other mature trees, a large barbecue, and a swimming pool. Below is the other part of the land, which was used as a vegetable garden as early as 1960. In the heart of the most authentic part of Mendrisio, immersed in an exclusive private park, we offer an imposing manor house of over 1,200 m².
