Apartment for rent in Porza
On the hillside of Porza, a small village surrounded by woods and vineyards just 5 km from the center of Lugano, stands a residence from 1890, set within a park of 4390 sqm with two fountains.
Behind the grand entrance gate, at the end of a palm-lined avenue, stands the majestic VILLA FLORIDIANA, a gem of late 19th-century architecture. Built in the Liberty style and designed by the architect of the House of Savoy on commission from Count Nino Rezzonico, this historic residence is not only a silent witness to events that shaped 20th-century European history but also a refuge of unparalleled beauty and refinement.
The 3.5-meter-high ceilings, adorned with stuccoes, frescoes, or coffered panels, create a sense of space and light that envelops every room, creating a unique atmosphere. The wood paneling, artistic stained glass windows, and stuccoes tell of an era when art and craftsmanship reached sublime heights. Eight marble fireplaces from the 19th century narrate stories of winter evenings spent by the warmth of the fire, of passionate discussions among guests like Adenauer and Mussolini.
Living in Villa Floridiana means immersing yourself in a daily fairy tale, where the magnificence of the past harmoniously blends with the needs of the present. The villa is divided into two apartments, and we offer for Rent the Apartment of approximately 700 sqm that spans the ground floor and the first floor.
On the ground floor, we find a large entrance hall, a study with a fireplace, a library, a guest bathroom, a dining room with a fireplace and access to a panoramic terrace, a living room with a fireplace, an additional lounge/TV room with a fireplace, a second guest bathroom, and a kitchen with a service entrance.
On the first floor, the Apartment offers two bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms, two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a wardrobe. Each bedroom has a terrace or balcony, providing private outdoor spaces to enjoy the surrounding views.
This exclusive space also includes access to the spa area: indoor pool, sauna, and fitness. The monthly Rent is 20,000 CHF, and 3,000 CHF per month for expenses.
It is the ideal residence for those who love historic buildings but do not want to forgo the comforts of contemporary life.
