Villa Nobel and Villa Ormond: the botanical heritage

Sanremo is, par excellence, the city of greenery. Villa Nobel, the eclectic neo-Gothic mansion where Alfred Nobel chose to spend his last years, tells of a time when the city was the crossroads of world science. Not far away, Villa Ormond offers a park that is a true botanical garden of excellence. This villa, one of Sanremo's architectural jewels, is also a cultural attraction and venue for public and private events. Between the Japanese garden, the areas dedicated to cactaceae, and the avenues of centenary cedars and ficus trees, one can understand why the city has become the heart of a flower-growing district of excellence, whose products are still exported to the main international markets. These spaces represent the silent and cultured soul of the town, capable of regenerating visitors all year round.
