Villa for rent - 6948 Porza

Villa Floridiana is a historic villa from 1890 designed by the architect of the House of Savoy on commission from Count Nino Rezzonico. Located in Porza, it is set in a beautiful well-kept park of 4390 square meters (with two fountains adorned with period bronze sculptures, a pergola, and a small chapel), it is oriented to the southeast and enjoys a splendid panoramic view of the lake, the surrounding mountains, and the city. The property is 10 minutes by car from the center of Lugano and 15 minutes from TASIS.

This stunning Liberty-style property is located in a prestigious residential area. Over the years, thanks to renovation work, its splendor has been maintained, safeguarding the frescoes, wood paneling, stained glass, stuccos, floors, and more without ever detracting from the original architectural style of the villa. The property is in excellent condition, with a choice of fine materials and luxury finishes, ceilings 3.5 m high (stuccoed, frescoed, or coffered), marble fireplaces from the late 1800s, original parquet floors in the living rooms and bedrooms, stained glass windows and railings in Liberty style, etc.

The villa offers about 1400 square meters of living space over 4 floors and is divided into two apartments. For rent, we offer an apartment on 3 floors:

ground floor: large entrance hall, study with fireplace, library, guest bathroom, dining room with fireplace and exit to panoramic terrace, living room with fireplace, additional lounge/tv room with fireplace, guest bathroom, kitchen with service exit;

Villa Floridiana is probably one of the few late 19th-century villas still existing in the Lugano area. It has been a meeting place for various political figures who have written the European history of the second half of the 20th century. It offers modern living comfort and is the ideal residence for lovers of historic buildings. It is a true rarity!
