This gorgeous villa on the lakeshore of Lago di Lugano in the italian speaking part of Switzerland is desperately looking for a new owner who is willing to save her! The place was property of the Branca family, traditional wine makers. The central building was built in 1912 by an unknown architect. In the 1920s the Luganese architect Americo Marazzi added the right wing of the building. Beautiful hanging gardens and pergolas were made at the higher part of the building. On the ground floor are the entrances to the wine cellars, warehouses and offices
The villa was abandoned in 1981 when Adele Branca died. There are still no exact plans for the villa. It will probably be demolished to make place for new housing.
