Villa Donati - beautiful historical villa
In the heart of the Malcantone region, nestled in the quiet elegance of a vast, private centuries-old park, Villa Donati gracefully preserves the timeless charm of another era. This historic residence, now protected as a listed building, stands out for its authentic character and enduring elegance. Facing southeast, it enjoys open, sunlit views, while its discreet location remains practical—just 30 minutes from Lugano and the renowned TASIS school, and only 15 minutes from the airport and golf club.
Built at the end of the 19th century, Villa Donati captivates with its exquisite period features: frescoes inside and out, delicate stucco work, antique fireplaces, shaded porticos, over 70 m² of bright verandas, fountains, and romantic glimpses that tell stories of family, gatherings, and times gone by. Thoughtful maintenance and restoration over the years have preserved the soul of the house while respecting its unmistakable style.
The villa offers approximately 250 m² of living space spread across three floors. The ground floor welcomes with a charming entrance hall leading to a reading room, living room, dining room, and kitchen. The first floor features three bedrooms and a bathroom, while the second floor offers two additional rooms and an attic with great potential. The vaulted cellar on the lower level adds yet another layer of character to the property.
Outdoors, the villa is embraced by over 1,100 m² of private land—like a secret garden, peaceful and protected. Additional parcels of land are also available, offering opportunities for expansion or simply to safeguard more surrounding nature.
Villa Donati is a home for those who appreciate the value of time, the beauty of authenticity, and the quiet joy of living in harmony with nature. A truly unique property.
