Dinner and overnight stay.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n After breakfast, your visit begins in the western part of the City of Flowers with a tour of the Villa Ormond park, a splendid botanical garden. Built by the Rambaldi family of Sanremo, the villa was sold to the Ormonds from Paris in 1887. The recently restored park was designed in the late 19th-century French style. The plants that color the garden come from all over the world: from the Canary Islands to Japan, from Tasmania to China, from California to Brazil.<\/p>\n Lunch at your leisure.<\/p>\n In the afternoon, transfer to Bordighera: just before the Punta Migliarese tunnel lies a steep rocky slope overlooking the sea, covered with terraced gardens and exotic plants. This is the Pallanca Exotic Garden, a spectacular natural monument created by the descendants of Bartolomeo Pallanca. It houses 3,200 species of plants, including Italy\u2019s most important\u2014and one of Europe\u2019s most significant\u2014collections of cacti. The oldest specimen, a \u201cCopiapoa\u201d from Chile that grows on the slopes of the Andes, is over 300 years old.<\/p>\n Return to the hotel, dinner and overnight stay.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n After breakfast, transfer to Dolceacqua in the Val Nervia, from where you\u2019ll begin exploring the lands of the Doria family, Doges of the proud maritime Republic of Genoa. The tour winds through Dolceacqua, Isolabona, Apricale, and Perinaldo, amidst lush nature, olive groves, vineyards, and delightful medieval villages that have preserved their oldest traditions intact.<\/p>\n The tour continues to Isolabona, where you\u2019ll enjoy a rich tasting lunch of local specialties: olive p\u00e2t\u00e9, sun-dried tomatoes, olives in oil, fresh cheeses, and excellent local wines. Val Nervia is home to its most precious gem, Rossese\u2014a ruby-red wine produced in Dolceacqua.<\/p>\n In the afternoon, transfer to the Hanbury Gardens in La Mortola: an 18-hectare exotic paradise created in 1867 by Sir Thomas Hanbury, who acclimatized plant species from around the world, collected during his many journeys. Every season celebrates the garden\u2019s greatness with pathways, pergolas, greenhouses, terraces, and wells.<\/p>\n Return to the hotel, dinner and overnight stay.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n After breakfast, transfer to Menton, the city of lemons, and visit the Val Rahmeh Botanical Garden. Created in 1905 by Lord Radcliffe, today it serves as a Mediterranean observatory for the French National Museum of Natural History and hosts an exceptional collection of exotic plants.<\/p>\n Next, visit the enchanting Serre de la Madone. Designed between 1919 and 1939 by Major Lawrence Johnston, the garden holds an exceptional botanical collection. Beyond its botanical interest, the Serre de la Madone is a notable example of landscape architecture, with ponds and fountains creating a calm, sheltered atmosphere.<\/p>\n At the end of the visit, departure for your return destination.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NATURALISTIC TOUR LIGURIA COSTA AZZURRA…A journey focused on the discovery of flowers and botanical gardens in Liguria and the C\u00f4te d’Azur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9563,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[405],"tags":[134,127,140,148,149,184,156,160,165,166,341,179,183],"class_list":["post-1439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-package-tours","tag-bordighera-2","tag-dolceacqua-2","tag-french-riviera","tag-gardens","tag-hanbury-gardens","tag-ligurian-wines","tag-menton","tag-pallanca-2","tag-flowers-riviera","tag-rossese-2","tag-san-remo-en","tag-valle-nervia-2","tag-villa-ormond-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
