Recent review on Tripadvisor:
”I took a group of 33 adults for a guided tour given by the owner. What a wonderful experience. The garden is stunning and the owner an inspiring and enthusiastic guide. We were all impressed by how well the garden was maintained and by the love and care put in by generations of the same family. It is a truly magical place and does not appear contrived in any way. The garden gives the feeling of being part of the landscape and not being made by human hand. We were all transported to Italy that morning and we will never forget the experience.”
