Lazio in bloom: the most spectacular gardens to discover in spring

In Rome, spring is an invitation to go out and be surprised by a nature that continuously dialogues with history, with greenery that from being a frame becomes an integral part of the experience among panoramic terraces, monumental parks and flower gardens that offer timeless glimpses. On the Aventine Hill, for example, the Giardino degli Aranci offers one of the most suggestive belvederes over the city, with a view that embraces the Tiber and the dome of St. Peter's. Leaving the capital, a simple out-of-town excursion can be transformed into a journey of discovery of the beautiful that leads to almost unknown destinations in the Pontine plain, at the foot of the Lepini Mountains: here, in the municipality of Cisterna Latina and a short distance from the village of Sermoneta, lies one of the most fascinating places in the entire region (and perhaps in Italia), the Garden of Ninfa, a landscape masterpiece created by the ingenuity of three women of the Caetani family (Ada Bootle-Wilbraham, Marguerite Chapin and Lelia Caetani). Amidst the ruins of an ancient medieval city, crossed by limpid streams, a unique garden develops, where more than 1,300 botanical species, including ornamental cherry trees, magnolias and especially roses, coexist in a delicate balance, creating a constantly changing scenery that can only be visited at selected times. An evocative experience that can continue along an ideal botanical itinerary that touches the Landriana Gardens, on the outskirts of Tor San Lorenzo, divided into thematic 'rooms' among ancient roses and olive trees, or to Sabina, where the village of Roccantica holds the surprising Vacunae Rosae, a rose garden with thousands of varieties that transforms the visit into a sensorial journey.
