6 room House in Riva San Vitale

Designed by Mario Botta between 1971 and 1973, Casa Bianchi is an icon of 20th-century Ticinese architecture. Located at the foot of Monte San Giorgio, in a non-buildable area, it offers privacy, tranquility, and a splendid view of Lake Lugano and the surrounding mountains, from Mendrisio to Rovio. Immersed between meadow and wood, it stands out for its vertical structure, geometric openings, and the famous steel walkway that connects the road to the villa. Published in numerous architecture books and magazines from the 1970s to the present, it represents a work of great relevance and uniqueness.
Riva San Vitale is one of the most suggestive villages in the Canton of Ticino, overlooking the southern shore of Lake Lugano. Surrounded by unspoiled nature and dominated by Monte Generoso, it offers an authentic and relaxed atmosphere, where history and landscape blend harmoniously. The historic core, with its characteristic streets and historic buildings, preserves a timeless charm. Among the symbols of the territory stands out the Baptistery of San Giovanni, one of the oldest Christian monuments in Switzerland. Riva San Vitale represents the ideal choice for those who want to live in a quiet and panoramic context, a short distance from the main urban centers, without giving up quality and comfort.
