The garden is described as a “small Mediterranean paradise” that delights all the senses. The plants are carefully selected so that something is always in bloom throughout the seasons – from tulip trees and climbing roses to camellias and the over 100-year-old wisteria.
It is a wonderful combination of natural beauty, historical elegance, and soothing relaxation. Here, Mediterranean flair meets refined design – perfect for enjoyment, tranquility, or creative breaks. It is a special place of energy.
Early risers and late sleepers alike appreciate breakfast in the open air – especially with views of Monte Generoso – as well as couples enjoying an aperitif in a charming corner of the garden. Pure relaxation, pleasure, and experience!

The tree belongs to the magnolia family and originates from eastern North America. In spring, its fresh leaves symbolize a new beginning. In summer, it provides pleasant shade, and its flowers add a touch of exotic charm to the garden. In autumn, it glows golden, turning the garden into an almost picturesque display of autumn colors.
Wisteria is probably the most iconic flowering feature of the house. It is over 100 years old. Its gnarled, sturdy trunk and widely spreading branches tell of decades of growth and intertwining. The flowering period is from April to May, when it produces an abundant cascade of violet-blue flower clusters that hang like a shimmering waterfall over the pergola and façade. The scent is intense and sweet.
The grape pergola with Uva Americana is not only a decorative element in the garden but also a culinary treasure, as it produces your own jam. It is characterized by its intense, almost “wild berry” flavor, with subtle notes of nutmeg and strawberry. It grows vigorously, climbs pergolas, and forms dense, shady arbors. Early September is the time for tasting and harvesting. We make jam!
