Our Garden and Pool

At the heart of the estate, positioned perfectly for sunset views, lies the expansive private garden — a serene landscape of walking paths, terraces, a courtyard, and multiple seating areas. More than 100 species of plants are carefully tended here, filling the air with the scents of lavender, thyme, rosemary, broom, and myrtle.

Two ancient fig trees, each more than 150 years old, begin offering their ripened fruit in late August, and guests are warmly invited to enjoy them. Throughout the year, pomegranate, persimmon, and lemon trees provide their own seasonal flavors. Two groves of ancient olive trees — more than 25 in total, all of a varietal native to the valley — produce several liters of oil each season. When available, this estate-pressed olive oil is stocked in the apartments for your complimentary use.

The pool rests in a reserved, panoramic corner of the property, offering sweeping views over the olive-covered hills and the peaceful Valle Umbra below. Unusually large for an estate of this scale, the pool measures 6 × 12 meters (18 × 36 feet) with comfortable depths ranging from 140–150 cm (4.6–4.9 feet).

A spacious pergola, shaded by reeds and softened by wisteria, roses, and santolina, provides a cool retreat just steps from the water. The area enjoys sun from morning until sunset, with lounge chairs, deck chairs, and umbrellas available for your use.

Relax around the pool, the garden chairs, or in the large jacuzzi. One token for complimentary use is included with your booking; additional tokens may be purchased upon request. Pool towels are provided in all apartments and holiday homes.
