Behind the pavillion lies the Hortensia Avenue:
The renaissance references ad the inspiration of the Medici villas is strong in this avenue which extends beneath a thick pergola supported by substantial round terracotta columns. A century-old banksiana tree with its clear, scented flowers shades the walk with is bordered by flourishing, colourful hortensia blooms. At the end stands a fine old cast iron well.*

Worth the visit just to see the cast iron well, Cherry, I’m sure.
It was an unexpected sight
What a cool, shady place the original owners created for themselves
They did a fine job
Italian gardens look rather barren.
Not all of them
serene and really lovely place
It is a lovely place
