Come discover Villa Rezzola (Lerici, SP), a historic stately home nestled in a lush terraced garden overlooking the Gulf of Poets. This special guided tour will lead you through the history of the villa and the fascinating families who have lived there over the centuries, concluding with an extraordinary observation of the surrounding landscape.
🔎 The Experience: The Territory in Focus
At the beginning of the tour, each participant will receive binoculars that will accompany the entire experience, from the English garden to the panoramic terrace.
The binoculars will become a unique tool for viewing the area from a different perspective, allowing you to focus on glimpses and details of the marvelous panorama that opens up over the Gulf of Poets: from seaside villages to islands, from small bays to historic buildings visible along the coast. An immersive way to integrate storytelling and direct observation of nature and architecture.

🏛️ What You Will Discover During the Visit
- The Interiors of the Villa: Perfectly preserved with furnishings and family objects, they tell the stories of those who lived here: from the Ligurian noble Botti family to the wealthy English couple Cochrane, to the German Captain Rudolf Jacobs during the Second World War and Pupa Carnevale Miniati, who donated the Villa to the FAI in 2020.
- The English Garden: A park rich in rare species (such as camphor trees and magnolia), olive trees, a long wisteria pergola, a rose garden, and a holm oak forest that descends almost to the sea.
- The Exceptional View: From the terraces, you'll enjoy the same breathtaking panorama, from Lerici to Portovenere, that has captivated the hearts of poets like Shelley, Byron, and Lawrence since the 19th century.
