Casa Biasi: Gardens and Guided Tours

The garden at Casa Biasi consists of a romantic park and a Mediterranean garden. Numerous herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees grow on more than 16,000 square metres of calcareous soil. The collections include old and modern roses, citrus fruits, camellias, hellebores and hydrangeas. Today's garden occupies part of the former Brolo of Villa Boldieri – Trentini.

Its origins date back to recent history: from March 1977, Mario and Luciana Biasi created today's garden on a former vineyard. Guided tours take place there from May to October and last approximately 90 minutes. For your travel planning, this is a separate visit that can be taken into account in advance when scheduling your time.
