Besonderes Raumkonzept Im Tessiner Haus Mit Garten Und Seesicht

This apartment is ideal for a couple wishing to spend their retirement in a Mediterranean climate south of the Swiss Alps.

The beautifully designed 3.5-room apartment is located in a characterful Ticino house from the 1930s with 6 apartments, combining individual architectural charm with panoramic views over the lake and surrounding mountains. Upon entering, the unique layout becomes apparent: two steps down from the entrance door lead into the open living and dining area. Two window fronts flood the room with light and offer views of the large natural stone terrace, the lake, the mountains, and the beautifully landscaped garden.

The apartment has two bedrooms, with one currently used flexibly as a reading room with an adjoining office space—ideal for a home office in the south.

A real highlight is the generously sized bathroom. Equipped with a modern walk-in granite stone shower and a large whirlpool bathtub, the bathroom becomes a private wellness oasis. The cozy, modern, and fully equipped kitchen offers plenty of space for cooking and enjoying meals. A Swedish stove ensures a cozy atmosphere even on cold winter days. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical storage room that provides extra space for utensils and comfortably houses the washing machine.

Both the kitchen and living area lead to the versatile garden and terrace area. The natural stone terrace facing the lake is partially covered. This sheltered area allows you to enjoy the beautiful view undisturbed even on colder days or during summer rain. At the same time, the covering provides pleasant shade on hot summer days.

The absolute highlight of the private garden area awaits under a magnificent magnolia tree, a stunning focal point offering an idyllic shady spot on hot days. Here, a traditional Ticino stone table invites you to unforgettable hours, atmospheric barbecue evenings, or warm summer nights in a cozy circle—perfectly embodying the Ticino lifestyle.

Ample space beyond the living areas is also provided: a private cellar compartment and an attic compartment offer plenty of room for belongings. Each floor has one of the three laundry rooms. This attractive apartment is completed by two private parking spaces directly at the property, and a garage can be rented within walking distance if needed.

The property was completely renovated in the 1980s, and the apartment has been continuously and lovingly renovated to a high standard, most recently the terrace areas in 2021. The roof was equipped with a photovoltaic system in 2025, and a heat pump was installed, increasing the self-consumption of generated electricity and significantly reducing your energy costs.

Orselina, in the best hillside location, is considered one of the exclusive residential communities above Locarno. Here you enjoy absolute tranquility, year-round sunshine, and are still just minutes from the vibrant life of Locarno and Ascona. The village is a sun-drenched vantage point with a special, relaxed lifestyle. Below—in Locarno, just minutes away—the lively city life pulses.

The approximately 700 residents form a warm, diverse community of Ticinese and many German-speaking Swiss who have fulfilled their dream of the south here. It is a place for connoisseurs, those seeking peace, and nature lovers, with events and culture right on the doorstep. Village life is active without being intrusive. Culture and sociability are highly valued here:

Culture in Parco di Orselina: The local association Pro Orselina regularly transforms Parco di Orselina into an open-air stage during summer. Whether atmospheric concerts like ”Jazz in the Park,” theater performances, or the popular ”Cinema al Parco” under the starry sky—the cultural life takes place right in the neighborhood.

Tradition and festivals: Local summer festivals with Ticino grill specialties and the autumn festival ”Colori d’autunno” on the Cardada mountain bring the village community together with wine and music.
