the garden
A typical Venetian garden
Among calli, campielli, and ancient façades, Venice preserves a green heritage that often remains hidden from view. The private garden of Cinqueteste is one of its rarest examples.
Over one thousand square metres of greenery belong to the house and follow the Venetian tradition of the hortus conclusus: an enclosed garden, protected by its walls and conceived as a natural extension of the home.
A courtyard introduces the dwelling; then gravel paths cross the lawn, lead to the true central well and organize the space in harmonious routes, between light and shade.
The pergolas are covered with white and black strawberry grape vines, while in spring the wisteria blossoms at the entrance, creating a striking and fragrant presence.
Enclosed garden
A Centuries-Old Tradition
Magnolias, walnut trees, persimmons, pomegranates, Judas trees, palms, and banana trees create a rich and surprising vegetation.
Exclusive for guests
The walls covered in Virginia creeper protect the garden, where the hackberry tree also stands out — known in Italian as spaccasassi, “stone-breaker”, for the strength of its roots.
Low walls, steps, statues, and wellheads shape the space, while pergolas and green screens create intimate corners designed for quietness and retreat.
An exclusive space, reserved for our guests, sheltered from the bustle and the crowds.
