Retiro Romántico En La Ladera De Una Colina Con Impresionantes Vistas Al Lago

High above Lake Maggiore, where the landscape opens towards the water and the surrounding mountains, this beautifully renovated 4.5-room residence combines panoramic views, exceptional outdoor living and an atmosphere of privacy and tranquillity.

Set in the green hills above Minusio, this distinctive home is designed for those who want to experience Lake Maggiore not simply as a view, but as part of everyday life.

From the moment you enter, the apartment reveals a character rarely found in contemporary residences. A welcoming entrance hall, elegant archways, intimate reading corners and a beautiful fireplace create a warm and almost romantic atmosphere, while the generous proportions and large windows introduce a more modern dimension.

The result is a home that feels both refined and deeply personal.

A Living Room Framed by Lake Maggiore

The heart of the residence is its impressive living area.

High ceilings enhance the sense of space, while expansive floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to flood the interior and frame extraordinary views across Lake Maggiore and the surrounding green hills.

The landscape becomes an ever-changing backdrop to daily life.

Morning light over the lake, changing colours across the mountains during the afternoon and the reflections of the evening sky create a setting that evolves throughout the day and through the seasons.

At the centre of the living space, the fireplace brings warmth and intimacy to the room, particularly during the cooler months.

It is this contrast that gives the apartment much of its personality: expansive views and generous spaces balanced by intimate architectural details and quiet corners in which to read, relax or simply enjoy the surroundings.

120 m² of Outdoor Living

If the interior is inviting, the outdoor space is one of the property’s defining features.

From the living room, the residence opens onto an exceptional newly renovated terrace of approximately 120 m².

More than a conventional terrace, this is effectively an outdoor living environment.

Its generous dimensions create the possibility of arranging different areas for dining, lounging, entertaining and relaxing while remaining surrounded by the panorama of Lake Maggiore.

Imagine breakfast outside on a quiet summer morning, an afternoon spent reading in the sun, or dinner with friends as the light slowly disappears behind the mountains.

In the evening, the terrace becomes particularly atmospheric — a private place to enjoy a glass of wine beneath the stars with the lights around the lake in the distance.

For anyone who values outdoor living, this extraordinary space fundamentally changes the way the apartment can be enjoyed.

A 25 m² Veranda for Every Season

Complementing the main terrace is a charming and contemporary veranda of approximately 25 m².

This additional space creates a natural transition between the interior and exterior and provides another place from which to appreciate the landscape.

It can become a sheltered lounge, a peaceful reading area, a place for long conversations or simply a private corner from which to watch the weather move across the lake.

Together, the 120 m² terrace and the veranda give the residence an unusually strong relationship with its surroundings and make outdoor living possible far beyond the traditional summer season.

Character, Comfort and Contemporary Finishes

The apartment has undergone extensive renovation in recent years, combining its original character with the comfort expected from a contemporary residence.

High-quality finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms give these spaces a clean and refined appearance, while built-in wardrobes provide practical storage without compromising the visual harmony of the interiors.

The architectural details are equally important.

The fireplace, archways, generous ceiling heights and reading corners prevent the home from feeling anonymous. Instead, they give it a distinctive personality — something increasingly difficult to find in modern residential developments.

This is not simply a polished apartment.

It is a home with atmosphere.

Wake Up and Walk to the Pool

Another particularly appealing aspect of the residence is its relationship with the communal swimming pool.

Located only a few steps from the bedroom, the pool adds an almost resort-like dimension to everyday life.

A morning swim before breakfast, a refreshing dip on a warm summer afternoon or a quiet moment beside the water becomes part of the natural rhythm of the property.

Combined with the generous private terrace, veranda and panoramic position, the swimming pool reinforces the feeling of living in a private hillside retreat.

Above the Lake, Yet Close to Minusio

The residence enjoys a peaceful and verdant hillside setting above Minusio.

Its elevated position provides the tranquillity and scenery that define the property, while still allowing convenient access to the amenities and services of Minusio and the Locarno region.

It is this balance that makes the location particularly attractive.

The home feels removed from the noise and pace of everyday urban life, yet it is not isolated.

Within a short distance, one can enjoy the lifestyle of the Lake Maggiore region, with Locarno, its lakefront, restaurants, cultural life and surrounding natural landscape all within easy reach.

A Home for Those Who Value Space and Atmosphere

Some properties impress through specifications.

Others are remembered for the way they make you feel.

This residence belongs to the second category.

Its appeal comes from the combination of elements that are difficult to reproduce: the elevated hillside position, the sweeping Lake Maggiore panorama, the exceptionally large terrace, the fireplace, the architectural character, the veranda and the proximity of the swimming pool.

It can be a sophisticated primary home, a peaceful retreat from a demanding professional life or simply a place where family and friends can gather around the same table while Lake Maggiore provides the backdrop.

The generous outdoor areas make entertaining particularly appealing, while the quieter interior spaces allow the home to retain a sense of intimacy.
