Gardens of Liguria

From:£2,195

Summary

Experience la dolce vita in Liguria, one of the most stunning regions of Italy with its sparkling coastline, colourful towns and historic treasures. After discovering the winding streets and world-famous sites of Genoa, we go in search of peaceful retreats such as Palazzo del Principe, one of the most significant residences in the city, and Palazzo Lomellino, an exquisite example of Genoese Mannerist architecture with an enchanting Secret Garden. We also visit some of the most spectacular villas nestled along the coast with delightful sea views, such as the salmon pink-hued Villa Durrazzo. Each has been carefully restored to reflect its original splendour, and as such you can expect intricate stucco decorations, magnificent frescoes, period furnishings and remarkable collections of art along with beautiful gardens. The result is a serene journey back through the centuries and a fascinating glimpse into the luxurious lifestyles of the Italian elite during the elegant Renaissance era.
