A modern villa with every comfort and a two-hundred-year-old mill converted into a guest house by a well-known Ticino architect stand on the hill and form a perfect combination of past and present, both with unique Ticino characteristics.

An avenue lined with hedges, cypresses and statues of renowned artists leads to the property and a mill wheel on the lawn of the villa recalls the old mill's working days.

The modern-style main building consists of spacious, airy rooms with large front windows offering beautiful views of the opposite shore of the lake and the quaint medieval villages of Morcote and Vico Morcote.

All around is a lot of greenery, a stream and the old mill converted into a guesthouse.

In the middle is a pleasant, planted courtyard and a swimming pool, almost an open air summer living room that like a cloister unifies both interior and exterior and contributes to a harmonious architectural dialogue between the two buildings.

The guest annexe, completely independent, has beautiful hints of modernity inside that coexist with the rustic character of the mill.

The layout of the buildings and the elements that make them up, including the surrounding greenery, combine to create an atmosphere of great privacy, almost as if forming a hamlet or "borgo" with invisible walls that safeguard a familiar intimacy and privacy.
