A Space of Tranquility

In addition to the imposing pine trees, which stand out in the landscape, it is possible to find various other plants and trees that contribute to the biological richness of the space. Well-maintained lawns offer ample open areas, complemented by flowerbeds that, at certain times of the year, add notes of color and fragrance, enriching the sensory experience of those who visit it. This ensemble forms a pleasant setting for outdoor rest and leisure.
