Casa Monte Tabor, Historic residence in Ronco sopra Ascona, Switzerland
Casa Monte Tabor stands three stories high with angular architecture on the western shore of Lake Maggiore, featuring wide terraces overlooking the water.
The villa gained prominence when German author Erich Maria Remarque purchased it in 1931, using it as a sanctuary during the rise of National Socialism.
The property became a meeting point for numerous writers, artists, and intellectuals, including Thomas Mann, Arthur Koestler, and Andy Warhol during Remarque's residency.
The residence sits 10 meters from Lake Maggiore, with the cantonal road between Ascona and Brissago passing directly behind the property.
The villa's name derives from Monte Tabor mountain, with the Riale del Monte Tabor stream marking the southern border of the property.
