What awaits you
- An explosion of citrus and unusual fruits: This is the golden season for our extraordinary citrus collection. The trees become laden with colorful, highly fragrant fruit-from the famous Savona *chinotto* to rarer, more exotic varieties from around the globe, such as the citron, the ''Buddha's Hand'' citron, and magnificent grapefruits.
- A unique microclimate by the sea: As your gaze wanders toward the blue waters of the Gulf of Alassio, the Mediterranean scrub blends with our botanical collections in a constant interplay of light and shadow-an ideal setting for photography and botany enthusiasts alike.
- Vibrant autumn colors: Blooms of *Solanum* and *Thunbergia*, the lingering blue hues of *Plumbago* along the stone paths, and the first blossoms of *Aloe* and various succulents complement the flowering Mediterranean and exotic flora.
