Villa Brusati - Otto Camere da Letto Villa, Ospiti Massimo 16

Villa Brusati stands proudly as a three-storey residence along the front of Lake Lugano. Located in Italy, its proximity to the Swiss borders allows you to explore charming towns in both countries. The expansive house features a thoughtful layout, with kitchens, living areas, and bedrooms thoughtfully distributed across its three floors.

While some rooms exude a modern aesthetic, others showcase charming period details such as grand open fireplaces and rustic ceiling beams. A unique section of the home is even set within the walls of an ancient cave, where the rugged cave walls are on display in the spacious kitchen within that distinctive space.

With three living rooms, including a formal sitting room and a vast central living space adorned with sofas, a grand piano, a bar trolley, and a fireplace, the heart of the home resides in this welcoming area. Doors opening onto the terrace make it an ideal spot for evening drinks. An additional living room with comfortable sofas, a fireplace, and a TV offers a cosy space for movie nights. The house also boasts three kitchens: a large, fully-equipped kitchen with a generous dining area and two smaller kitchens. You can dine indoors in the two large dining areas or head out on the terrace for dinner with lake views.

The numerous bedrooms beckon for a restful night's sleep as the day winds down. Two double bedrooms boast en-suite bathrooms, complemented by five more double bedrooms. These rooms share four additional bathrooms, offering a mix of bath and shower facilities. If additional space is required, up to ten extra beds are available, along with another expansive bedroom.

Outside, Villa Brusati offers unparalleled views of the glistening Lake Lugano. Expansive wraparound terraces, well-tended garden spaces, an al-fresco dining table, and comfortable sun loungers complete the outdoor ambience, providing an ideal setting to soak in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Villa Brusati is a beautiful base for visiting towns and villages dotted along the lakes' shore, including Porlezza and the Swiss city of Lugano. You can also easily access the lake from the home and reach the lake beaches. Water sports, boat trips and day trips to Lake Como are also possible during your stay.

For those seeking more shops and dining options, many towns and villages are nearby. A mere 3km away from the house is the Swiss village of Gandria, a picturesque 17th-century village at the foot of Monte Brè.

Here, you can soak in the art and culture, with an abundance of museums, galleries, the Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, and charming squares lined with cafés. Lugano also offers boat trips around the lake, including luxurious evening dinner cruises, adding a touch of sophistication to your lakeside experience.

Nature enthusiasts will find Valsolda Nature Reserve irresistible, just a ten-minute drive from the villa.
