Redaktionelle Einordnung
The record traces the garden’s history unusually well. Essentially a kitchen garden until the mid-eighteenth century, the walled enclosure was first laid out in the English manner, with water features and groves. In 1928 it took its present Italian character: the middle terrace imitates the water parterre of the Villa Gamberaia near Florence, the upper terrace draws on a painting by Paul Brill kept at the Villa Artena near Rome. In front of the house, an alignment from the end of the Ancien Régime leads the eye to an open view over the valley. A radiating pattern of hedges and a chequerboard of topiary evoking a chess game were added in the 1980s. A greenhouse, a foot-bath and an orchard complete the ensemble, which was listed in 2006 together with its enclosure walls.
Empfehlung
Few gardens let you read three centuries of taste in three terraces: kitchen garden, English park, Tuscan villa.
