Villa Pinwheel: pentagonal gem on Lake Maggiore

We are thrilled to present Villa Pinwheel!
Discover with us this charming pentagonal-designed mansion located on the heights of Luino, the most important center on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore.


Villa Pinwheel - light and fascinating geometries on Lake Maggiore


The Villa, designed by architect Jacopo Mascheroni and whose construction was completed in 2021, has two levels with a total of 184 square meters.
The soft lines and rounded corners that characterize its design accentuate the fluidity of the pentagonal base, creating a pleasant continuity between the geometric forms of the residence and the surrounding nature. The large windows and “pinwheel brushes,” from which the villa takes its name, open to the outside offering a panoramic view of the estate and increasing the brightness of the residence, which is already enhanced by the choice of white for the interiors and facade.
 
Intended for single-family use, the villa fits into an estate of more than two thousand square meters and includes, on the first floor: a living room, a dining room and a kitchen, which share a common, open space, while the two bedrooms and two bathrooms, which complete the villa's amenities, are positioned behind discreet transparent glass windows at the back. The basement, on the other hand, houses a technical room, a storage room and a large area adaptable to an exclusive cinema room or gym.
 
Thanks to high-quality insulation materials combined with a modern heat pump and heated flooring, Villa Pinwheel ensures high energy efficiency. With a view to enhancing its self-sufficiency, an additional canopy with integrated photovoltaic panels will also be installed.
 
Strategically located a short distance from the cities of Luino and Lugano, Villa Pinwheel can be an excellent investment both as a main residence and as a place to spend vacations.
“This acquisition“-comments Mauro Lozza, Licence Partner Engel & Völkers Lago Maggiore and Lago d'Orta-”is part of a portfolio that is definitely important in terms of quality and quantity and allows us to represent the best of what is for sale today on Lake Maggiore.”


Villa Pinwheel - the sparkling atmosphere of Luino


Luino is the main industrial, commercial and tourist center on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore. This elegant lakeside town boasts an almost Mediterranean climate and a rich historical and cultural heritage. It is known to be the hometown of several contemporary writers, poets and actors, showing a strong penchant for literature.

 
Strolling through Luino's historic center, one can admire narrow uphill streets, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, loggias tucked away in courtyards, artisan workshops and various stores. One of the most famous attractions is the Wednesday market, a picturesque, lively and folklore-filled event that has been held since 1541 and attracts visitors from all over the world.


Luino is famous for its beautiful lakefront, adorned with plane trees and enhanced by the harmonious architecture of the surrounding buildings. The recent renovation of the lakefront has added two play areas, a walkway suspended over the water, and a beach, “le Serenelle,” renowned for its excellent water quality. Another beach is located in the nearby hamlet of Colmegna, known for its clear waters.


For water sports enthusiasts, Luino offers a number of opportunities, including the Alto Verbano Sailing Association's motorboat rental and the Lake Maggiore Navigation service, which allows you to visit the Borromean Islands or travel to nearby Switzerland.
Luino's strategic location, close to the Swiss border and well connected by rail to Milan and Canton Ticino, makes it an easily accessible and popular destination.
