The perfect hideaway in breathtakingly beautiful scenery
The Ticino town of Muralto, which has now grown together with Locarno, stretches picturesquely on the sunny northern shore of Lake Maggiore. Palm trees, chestnuts and the mild climate give the town an almost Mediterranean feel.
In this privileged location, the villa “EDEN” nestles on a sunny slope — a fascinating example of classic Ticino villa architecture from the Belle Époque. With loggias, balconies, terraces and a park-like garden with pool, it combines representative elegance with a southern lifestyle. From the upper floors, there is a breathtaking view of Locarno, the lake and the mountains all the way into Italy.
At the same time, the villa is easily accessible: the train station, port, lakeside promenade and the old town of Locarno are just a ten-minute walk away, as are numerous shops and restaurants. You are connected to Bellinzona, Lugano, Milan and Zurich by rail — and often faster than by car.
Locarno, the third-largest city in Ticino, impresses with a beautiful old town with romantic alleys and historic palazzi, over which the Madonna del Sasso pilgrimage church watches over high up on the slope. Locarno is known culturally far beyond the region: The famous film festival in Piazza Grande, the Moon and Stars music festival and numerous museums attract international audiences every year.
The town looks back on an eventful history. Roman settlements, early Christian basilicas, the noble and patrician families of the Middle Ages, the Reformation and the expulsion of Protestants in 1555 — all these events have left deep traces. With its connection to the railways and the European transport network, Locarno's rise as a popular destination for travelers, artists and intellectuals was finally sealed in 1874 — a tradition that continues today.

The villa is currently divided into several apartments, which can easily be reconnected to form a spacious family home. The ground floor comprises four magnificent, representative rooms, which can be flexibly divided.
The particularly comfortably furnished upper floor features a spacious living room with sculpturally designed fireplace, a high-quality kitchen with a light-flooded dining area, a charming master suite and other children's, guest or study rooms. With direct access to the garden, terraces and pool, life can shift under the open sky at any time.
The attic floor impresses with two large living and bedrooms as well as a kitchen and dining room with fireplace. On the spacious roof terrace, you almost seem to be floating above the spectacular landscape. In addition to a technical room and a boiler room, there is also a large separate apartment in the basement. The new building project to the north offers additional benefits: two parking spaces and a laundry room are planned for the villa in the adjacent parking garage — and a new access route is being built.
In the magical light of the south, in the face of palm trees, lake and mountains, you can relax in the” EDEN “villa. Hermann Hesse said of his adopted home in Ticino: “Here, the sun shines more intimately and the mountains are redder, chestnuts and wine, almonds and figs grow here, the people are good, well-mannered and friendly. ”
