Romantic Gardens
The gardens of Villa Castellamonte, over
two acres of them, were skillfully constructed
with strong romantic overtones. Three
different places within the gardens are
designed for privacy and convenience of
the guests. Each garden location is easily
accessible yet closed to outside viewing
so you can relax and enjoy the weather.
Sea Cliff Garden
Atop the sea cliff is a very special
garden with steps sweeping down from the
'beach' side of the swimming pool. At
the bottom of the steps is a very comfortable
bench and lion's head fountain. Sit, relax,
and enjoy the day with a private area
of your own away from the hustle and bustle
of the villa itself. Also located down
here are two of the many hammocks, large
enough for two, located in a shady spot
just right for that nap you are looking
forward to.
Quiet Night Garden
Immediately outside of the Viareggio
and La Spezia Suites is a deep, private
terrace with steps down to a serene, beautifully
landscaped garden area. Within the garden,
up against the custom stone privacy wall,
is another comfortable bench only large
enough for a couple to sit and discuss
their own purchase in the Dominican Republic!
From this garden you have easy access
to either the front or rear of the house
but are still hidden from direct view.
Al Fresco Garden
In front of the house, next to the Al
Fresco dining area, is a small private
garden area we call the Al Fresco Garden.
Within the garden is a small pond stocked
with lively fish and fresh water shrimp
close to a sitting area and relaxing hammock.
Walled from the front of the house with
densely packed tropical flowering bushes,
this cute garden is a favorite resting
place for those end of the day drinks
and conversation.
Rooftop Gardens
Villa Castellamonte has yet one more
unique feature separating it from the
norm; a fully landscaped and lovingly
maintained rooftop garden throughout the
second floor. The rooftop garden perfumes
the air with the sweet scents from many
flowering plants that hang over the balconies.
If you reside upstairs in the Firenza
Suite you can stroll through these elevated
gardens day or night to drink in the sweet
aromas and romantic views.
