Architecture And Private Horizons, Morbio Superiore

In Morbio Superiore, an architect-designed villa surrounded by greenery enjoys open views from the Ticino hills to the Po Valley and Alpine skyline. An elevated position, mature gardens and broad terraces create a secluded setting.
The architecture reflects Ticino’s exploration of the 1960s and 1970s: articulated volumes, diagonal sightlines and rooflights give the interiors a distinctive character. Parquet, timber, granite and marble enrich the spaces, while a planted atrium beneath a rooflight brings nature into the heart of the home. The living room unfolds across three areas, with dining space, a library and an Arzo marble fireplace, opening onto three covered terraces.
The main residence includes an eat-in kitchen with a breakfast area and fireplace, three first-floor bedrooms and further accommodation in the habitable attic, with two bedrooms and a large study, playroom or home cinema space. On the ground floor, an independent south-east-facing apartment offers a living room with fireplace, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
The approximately 1,900 m² plot features terraced gardens, a 12 × 6 metre swimming pool, pergola, barbecue area and an approximately 70 m² vegetable garden. A three-car garage, further outdoor parking, four cellars and a large laundry room complete the property.
Substantial renovation is required, offering the opportunity to enhance a home of authentic architectural character through a tailored project. Mendrisio and Chiasso are around 10 minutes away by car, Como 20 minutes and Lugano 30 minutes.
