When I envisioned the garden of my new villa on the hillside, I dreamed of a place that combined elegance, nature, and surprise. Thanks to the expert landscape architects at Pellegrini Giardini, every corner was carefully designed and crafted to create perfect harmony between the house’s architecture and the garden.

At the entrance of the villa, a flowerbed nestled between two travertine staircases greets us with lush tropical plants such as Cycas revoluta and varieties of Strelitzia, captivating the eye with their exotic presence. The staircase is framed by white bush Roses, gracefully climbing and offering a striking contrast of colors reminiscent of purity. Enhancing this majestic space, we find on one side a magnificent bonsai Olive tree, its twisted and captivating structure standing as a testament to nature’s artistry, and on the other, monumental Cypress trees, reaching skyward with timeless elegance.The radiant white of the walls and the richness of the green vegetation transform the entrance into a true masterpiece of natural art. Each tree was personally selected by us from the Pellegrini nurseries, renowned for their exceptional collection of large specimens from around the world, rare blooms, and spectacular macro bonsais.

As you continue into the garden, you are greeted by a series of flowerbeds offering a different spectacle in every season. The specimen shrubs, with their perfectly manicured crowns, add structure and dimension, while the bursts of varied floral colors create a lively and vibrant atmosphere.

On the side of the garden, a long hedge of pink and coral Oleanders stretches like a luminous brushstroke, providing a spectacular bloom during the warmer months. This hedge is not just decorative; it preludes a more intimate discovery—a passage leading to the hidden heart of the garden.

From the villa’s living room, through its large windows, one can enjoy the view of the upper level of the hanging garden, entirely carpeted with Verbena Hybrida. Two century-old lemon trees grow luxuriantly in corten steel pots, their warm hues creating a stunning contrast with the vibrant green of the leaves and the vivid yellow of the fruits.

A central basin, set amidst the symmetrical spaces of the hanging garden, houses tropical plants and majestic giant Agapanthus, whose delicate blooms add a touch of exotic magic. This space is a tribute to beauty and symmetry, reflected in the meticulous attention to detail.

Descending to the lower level, you are immersed in a completely different world. Here, a maze of gravel paths winds through a perfectly maintained English lawn, an ideal place for strolling and finding serenity. The steps leading to the maze are lined with flowering slopes rich in ground-covering bushes with colorful blooms, adding a vibrant touch and a sense of welcome.

This space is an ode to contemplation: the organization of the paths invites slow walks, inspiring reflection as nature and innovative design engage in perfect harmony.

The ultimate comfort in my villa’s garden has been achieved with the mosquito-repellent system, completely invisible yet providing protection and allowing us to enjoy what is now much more than just a green space: it is a sensory journey, a place of beauty to be experienced and cherished year-round.

The fusion of tropical plants, Mediterranean blooms, and architectural elements makes this garden a unique masterpiece, capable of inspiring emotion in every season. I can’t wait to continue living in it and sharing its magic with those who will have the pleasure of visiting.
