We are offering Villa Céline for sale, located in a dominant position above Luino, along the ancient road that for centuries has connected Lake Maggiore to Lugano. A road travelled by merchants, cultured travellers, artists and illustrious personalities, attracted by a panorama that still amazes today with its breadth, light and depth. It is here that the view opens up onto the three lakes, the Alps and Lake Verbano, in the same spot that has enchanted generations of European travellers.
Built at the end of the 19th century and dedicated by Giuseppe Ballinari to his wife Céline, the villa retains an authentic, understated elegance. French influences, high ceilings, natural light flooding through the rooms and the large central skylight create an immediate feeling of balance, space and harmony.
Spread over four floors covering approximately 800 square metres, the residence welcomes guests with a grand reception room, rooms designed for conviviality and spaces that invite privacy. The five bedrooms, all with lake views, offer a different perspective on the water and the landscape every morning, while the ten bathrooms guarantee absolute comfort even in a setting of refined hospitality.
Three panoramic terraces accompany the rhythm of the day, from the morning light to the sunsets over the lake. The spaces dedicated to wellness and leisure – swimming pool, gym, party room and wine cellar – complete the property, designed to be enjoyed in every season.
Outside, a private park of approximately 5,000 square metres envelops the villa in rare, quiet, protected privacy. The internal lift, four covered parking spaces and additional uncovered spaces complete a residence that combines historical charm with contemporary functionality. Renovated in the early 1990s, Villa Céline has retained its soul, adapting naturally to modern needs.
This is not a home for those simply looking for a property.
It is a place for those who want to feel part of history, dominate the landscape without sacrificing intimacy, and experience every day the feeling of being exactly where they should be.
