The Water Garden is located in Mateus, a locality in the municipality of Vila Real. Found in the Bairro do Além, this space offers a tranquil setting, far from the more central dynamics, but still easily accessible within the urban area.
Its position in the landscape of Mateus offers a calm environment, where the proximity to natural elements and landscape design complement each other, creating a space of distinctive beauty in the Trás-os-Montes region.
At the heart of this garden, its aquatic surface, designated as a water mirror, stands out. This landscape design element is designed to capture and reflect natural light and the surrounding vegetation, generating visual effects that transform throughout the day. Its expanse contributes to a perception of spaciousness and a luminous atmosphere, inviting serene contemplation.
The stillness of the mirrored waters contributes significantly to the peaceful ambiance of the garden, making it a place to enjoy the harmony between green architecture and the liquid element.
The vegetal composition of the Water Garden is marked by its abundance and the care with which it is sculpted. In particular, the extensive areas of boxwood, arranged in geometric patterns and dense hedges, stand out, lending a formal and perennial structure to the environment. These precisely trimmed vegetal formations create nooks and framings that enrich the visitor's journey.
In addition to the formal elements, the garden features a variety of foliage that contributes to a lush and inviting atmosphere, where the diversity of textures and shades of green combine for a remarkable and serene visual effect.
Exploring the Water Garden means immersing oneself in a space designed for quietude and reflection. The attention dedicated to its creation and conservation is perceptible in every detail, from the arrangement of the plants to the clarity of the water mirror. This setting facilitates tranquil walks, offering visitors the opportunity to appreciate the harmony between nature and human intervention.
It is a place where the art of landscaping is fully manifested, offering a refuge for those seeking serenity and beauty, and an opportunity to enjoy the tranquility that natural elements and design can provide.
