About this property

Ticino villa with large pool and stunning lake view - on 8,800m² plot

The terrain of al Casarico with the Ticino Villa (and another cottage) is very widely known: the size of the (flat) land, the absolutely private location and the strangely beautiful (270 degree) view, make even the local residents of al Casarico praise it as 'the heaven'.
It is the perfect place for nature lovers, with privacy and undisturbed holiday fun in a Mediterranean ambience.
The villa is comfortable with a large, cosy lounge with an open fireplace, a simple but fully equipped kitchen and three chic, spacious bedrooms with attached bathrooms.

On both sides of the house there are patios: Sun or shade, depending on the need. Private pool (9 - 5 m) at the house with shades of grape pergola.
Parking lot is 3 minutes away. A beautiful forest trail leads from the parking lot to the heavenly abode. The concierge will come to pick you up at the car parking upon arrival.
Additional service is possible: breakfast service, cook dinner, shopping.

Description of the holiday domicile: The heavenly holiday domicile is located 250 metres above the picturesque village of Vira (Lake Maggiore). The access road is walkable up to 3 minutes (on foot). This 3-minute walk is very rewarding when you arrive at the 8800m2 large plot. It's a stunning location, which is an absolute rarity in Ticino!

Most idyllic site and breathtaking views

What a wonderful holiday I had with my family. Everybody was catered for. Enjoyed the pool, kids for messing about and a nice size for swimming (working off holiday sense) and enjoyed table tennis and the trampoline and lawn good size for a game of badminton. Views from the house are stunning. Nice walks from the house up the hill to Monti Viro and going down to Vira. House very well equipped and very clean. We enjoyed every meal on the veranda around the big table, which sate all of us very comfortably and again with great views. And not to forget my Dog was also very well catered for, with the large garden and we enjoyed our morning walk up the hill. So I can only highly recommend it and hope myself we will be able to return sometime. Many thanks to Verena. Colin & Franziska Smith

Ein schöner Flecken Erde

Das Haus stehe abseits und bietet viel Privatsphäre. Das Haus ist gut eingerichtet und dank dem Heizstrahler bei der gedeckten Terrasse konnten wir auch diesen nass-kalten Sommer 2021 geniessen.

About the host

Hosted by Ginus Nusteling

Al Casa Rico is my 'parental home'. My mother was a Swiss, my father was a Dutch. My parents bought the property in 1954 and designed the house and landscaped garden. So my whole life has already been spent al Casarico and went to school as a child in Locarno.
In 2007, I bought the house as part of inheritance. Immediately afterwards we renovated the villa as well as the swimming pool and patios at a large scale.
I am very much connected to al Casarico and we love this place very beautiful.
My husband and I live with our two children in Netherlands.
In Netherlands I run a famous 'Bed and Breakfast / Holiday home' (Check out the website link).
My husband is an orthopaedic shoe technician. We both work in a private shop.
We are very delighted that so many guests find their way to al Casarico and all of them are so excited! This gives us the possibility to hold on to our beloved family treasure and to give it the care that it deserves.

What makes this property unique

Al Casa Rico is a dream.... This is actually the general opinion of all people who enter the property.
The plot itself is a big and very beautiful landscaped garden, the location is not secluded but it is absolutely private, the view is second to none and the villa and the many patios as well as the crystal clear pool have a lot to offer.
... and... you are welcome to see it for yourself....!
