Property description

Villa Grande Dame – timeless elegance above Lake Maggiore
Villa Grande Dame is an exceptional, detached 19th-century patrician villa in an exclusive south-facing location high above Lake Maggiore. Privately owned and rich in history, it has been extensively renovated and refurbished in recent years with great care and respect for its original significance – accompanied by renowned designers and interior experts. Now, for the first time, it is opening its doors to guests looking for something special.

The villa is perched on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by the Navegna River, which ensures a pleasantly balanced microclimate even on hot summer days. This unique location offers exceptional seclusion – a rare privilege in one of the most sought-after regions of Ticino.
Surrounded by a 2,600 m² park with lush, year-round flowering plants, it is an oasis of tranquility. Several terraces, sun loungers, stylish seating areas, a barbecue area, and a granite-lined pool with spectacular lake views invite you to linger. The more adventurous can descend via private access to the Navegna River and take a refreshing dip.

A highlight is the spacious rooftop terrace, which offers an incomparable panoramic view: across Lake Maggiore to Italy, the Ascona–Locarno peninsula, the Brissago Islands, and all the way to Madonna del Sasso. Sunsets here are unforgettable.

Ground floor:
Spacious, open-plan living area with marble fireplace (usable), digital TV, and stunning views across the Magadino plain to the Brissago Islands. Open-plan dining room with extendable glass table.

The illuminated pool (6 × 3 m) offers unobstructed views of the lake, mountains, and countryside. Several outdoor dining and lounge areas, a covered dining table for up to 10 people, a mobile barbecue station, and high-quality terrace and balcony furniture complete the ensemble.
The villa is easily accessible via a flat private road. Inside the garden gate, there are three private parking spaces and a charging station for electric vehicles. In addition, one of the most beautiful bus stops in Ticino is only 100 meters away, with direct connections to Locarno.
