Attico dell'Artista
Residence Villa Ada Troubetzkoy · Ghiffa · Lake Maggiore
Four-room top-floor penthouse for sale · B401
Presented by Anna Mazzola, architect
This apartment is both. Set on the fourth and top floor of a building within a residence surrounded by a historic park, the “Artist's Penthouse” looks out over Lake Maggiore like a truly exclusive private belvedere. Here the view is not merely admired: it is lived, every day in a different light.
A single-level penthouse conceived by an architect with a painter's eye, it is a home that offers itself both as a finished work and as an open canvas, ready to welcome your vision.
I · The view
The eye roams freely across Lake Maggiore to the mountain peaks. No buildings opposite, no obstructions: only water, land and sky. A view that belongs to those who live here.
The lake is never the same: from the gallery and the terrace you witness, day after day, a natural work of art that never repeats itself.
II · The residence
Within the residence, the penthouse enjoys a privileged position: secluded, sheltered, away from prying eyes. All the comfort of an exclusive complex, with the rare tranquillity of a home suspended between the trees and the lake. Here silence is not absence: it is the wind in the trees, the water and the sky.
The estate is managed by S.I.F. Italia S.p.A. and offers a security service with a caretaker on site every weekday.
A two-level pool set in greenery: a round shallow pool, ideal for children, and a larger main pool for swimming, reached by a flight of steps. Sun loungers, parasols, tables, indoor hot showers and an outdoor one, toilets and separate changing rooms.
Reserved exclusively for residents, right on the lakeshore: private access to a stretch of pebble beach, a shaded tree-lined area and a jetty for mooring.
Pier and moorings reserved exclusively for berth holders, with the option of renting a berth on the floating pontoons. Open views of the lake and the mountains.
Two tennis courts in the large wooded park, with benches and seating areas. Sport just a few steps from home.
Cedars, palms, azaleas and hydrangeas tended every week: order and beauty all around the residence buildings.
Every apartment has its own garage, plus unallocated parking spaces within the park.
The location
Via Arcipreturale 36, San Maurizio, Ghiffa (VB). The estate stretches from the park down to the shores of Lake Maggiore.

IV · About me
Anna Mazzola · architect and owner
“I personally oversaw and directed the renovation of this building, infusing it with an artistic vision that pairs the contemporary feel of exposed concrete with the softness of glazed paint finishes. For the façades, an innovative approach: a professional restorer looks after the building over time, stepping in at the first sign of damp or wear. An invisible asset, and a guarantee of longevity.”A note from the architect
V · Made to measure
The spaces can be reinterpreted and redesigned to suit different needs, like blank canvases ready to come to life anew alongside the architect who has loved this home and its setting for more than twenty years, and who now wishes to pass the baton to pursue new dreams.
Anna Mazzola is not simply selling a home: she offers the buyer her bespoke expertise, guiding them through the complete personalisation of the spaces.

VI · The garage
Larger than is standard for the area: it can accommodate even large vehicles.
The ceiling height has allowed for a wooden mezzanine with a ladder: a second level for storage, sports equipment or small furniture, leaving the floor space free.
Garage value: €80,000
VII · The trial
A home like this cannot be understood in a single viewing: it is understood by living in it.
Try before you buy
A rental stay to experience the home day to day: sunrises over the lake, sunsets over the mountains, the park, the pool, the beach.
Put the spaces, services and rhythms of the residence to the test, and envisage the future of the rooms with the architect.
Decide with the peace of mind of someone who has already lived in the home, not merely visited it.
Rental duration, rent and terms available on request, to be agreed confidentially with the owner.
VIII · Open house
The Open House transforms the traditional individual viewing into an exclusive event. Rather than appointments scattered over time, the owner opens the doors to several prospective buyers within a set time window, with a welcome attentive to every detail.
