A place where natural beauty, peace and elegance prevails. The particular micro-climate of the area together with 20 years of hard work and passion have made possible the ambitious project of the cultivation of olive trees, today with more than 100. A dream come true for the owners who also produce a high quality extra virgin olive oil. Olive trees were already cultivated in this area between the 12th and 15th centuries.Another aspect of the garden are its 40 different varieties of citrus trees and plants, some of which are planted in the ground but the majority are in large terracotta pots that during the cold months of the year are housed in beautiful winter gardens.
