Integrating a pool into a landscape, creating a garden similar to the rough landscape of the Tuscan Maremma «We want to choose plants native to Maremma or that thrive in Mediterranean climates. Drought-resistant species such as lavender, rosemary, cypress and olive trees, as well as laurel Photinia fraseri, strawberry trees, fig trees, manna ash and mastic, cultivated for its aromatic resin. These not only reflect the essence of the Maremma, but also require a minimum of water. The natural appearance of the landscape of the Maremma also calls for a somewhat wild, unstructured way of planting. We allow plants to grow freely and intertwine, creating an organic and untamed look.» We are such stuff as dreams are made on.
