Property information

A charming historic villa in Muralto, filled with light, art, and stories. Surrounded by palms and set within easy reach of Lake Maggiore and the heart of Locarno, it offers an authentic retreat where timeworn beauty meets comfort. Lived-in, characterful, and full of books and antiques, a home for those who appreciate soul over perfection. Just 20-minute’ walk from Locarno’s old town and 10 minutes from the train station and lake, Villa dei Muralti welcomes you through an antique gate into a tranquil green garden. Private outdoor parking is available on-site, with an additional garage on request. The ground floor features a bright living room, cozy dining area for six, and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and Nescafé Dolce Gusto machine. From here, step onto the terrace or into the garden for al fresco dining. A small study/bedroom with two single beds and a guest WC complete this level. Upstairs, you’ll find two double bedrooms, one with serene lake glimpses, the other with a charming balcony, plus a hallway workspace lined with books. This floor has two bathrooms: one WC with sink, and one spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower and a bidet. Outside, enjoy 1,500 m² of lush Mediterranean garden and a panoramic terrace ideal for sunset aperitivos. Authentic and peaceful, Villa dei Muralti invites you to slow down and savor its timeless charm. Guests have full privacy; the entire villa and garden are exclusively yours. The small tower, accessed separately, belongs to another owner and is not part of the rental. Laundry facilities in the cantina are shared and available on request (CHF 1.20 per use). Please note there are several stairs, so the villa may not suit guests with reduced mobility or small children. One well-behaved dog is welcome. Please handle our charming home with care. Thank you for treating it as your own.

Neighbourhood information

Nestled between the shimmering shores of Lake Maggiore and the vibrant town of Locarno, Muralto is a picturesque lakeside village that blends natural beauty, history, and relaxed elegance. Its privileged position makes it one of the most sought-after areas in Ticino — a place where you can enjoy the tranquility of the lake while staying just steps from restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions. 🌴 Atmosphere & Lifestyle Muralto has a serene, Mediterranean feel. Narrow streets wind past elegant villas, flowering gardens, and palm-lined promenades. Life moves at a gentle pace here, mornings often start with a stroll along the lakefront or a cappuccino in a sunny piazza, while evenings invite you to dine outdoors as the sunset paints the mountains in soft gold. 🛶 Nature & Leisure The lake is just minutes away, perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or boat trips to the Brissago Islands. Beautiful trails begin right at the village’s edge, leading up into the hills for panoramic views over the Maggia Delta and Lake Maggiore. The area is also a paradise for cycling and hiking enthusiasts, with easy connections to the Verzasca and Maggia Valleys. 🎭 Culture & Events A short walk brings you to Locarno’s historic center, home to the famous Piazza Grande, where open-air markets and the world-renowned Locarno Film Festival take place each summer. Nearby, the Madonna del Sasso Sanctuary overlooks the region with breathtaking views, and the Castello Visconteo offers a glimpse into the area’s medieval past. 🍷 Food & Local Life Muralto and nearby Locarno offer everything from cozy grottoes serving Ticinese specialties to elegant lakefront restaurants. Local favorites include risotto, fresh fish, and Merlot wine from the surrounding vineyards. 🚆 Accessibility The village is well connected, and the train station is within walking distance, offering easy access to Lugano, Bellinzona, and Milan.
