The 60 years old villa is situated on a rocky hill in a large garden overlooking the old city of Locarno, the lake of Locarno and the recently renovated Church named Madonna del Sasso. Alongside with the restoration works of the building, the garden has been redesigned.The new concept of the garden concentrated on the preservation of the existing natural stone walls and the adoption of the typical landscape surrounding the area. A new water table, a pergola with awnings and the use of large natural stone pavings are fundamental in enlarging the living space of the building. The existing vegetation was completed with species of the Mediterranean vegetation.
