The winter garden is a unique structure in its kind in Ticino, of great architectural beauty. Its original function was to raise the construction of the villa by 8 meters, making it the highest and most dominant on the hill of Castagnola and completely isolating it, like a castle, from the other neighboring properties. Currently, this environment has been completely renovated, with high-quality internal finishes and is a private venue for artistic events, art exhibitions, concerts.
For all finishing elements, first-choice materials have been used, from marbles to stones, from ancient woods to boiseries, from fireplaces to antique glasses.
An internal staircase and an elevator connect all floors but each floor can be isolated at any time and made independent with existing separate access and stairs.
Apart from the existing, there is already an approved project for an indoor pool, pool house, a large hobby space, and a new lounge at the master level in place of the patio of about 100 sqm, with accessories, a second elevator, and new hanging gardens. The villa currently has 5 external parking spaces + garage.
