Santa Clotilde on the Spanish Costa Brava

This Italianate garden was built on the site of an old vineyard for a wealthy family who built a summer house there. It is on a sloping site overlooking the sea. The entrance is a cool tunnel of trees.




The garden overlooks a small beach which is popular with the locals

Much of the garden is simple with lawn, hedges of various plants and Cypress trees

At the end of the garden is a round gravel area with avenues leading off in several directions

The only colour was a grouping of blue Agapanthus, a very familiar plant to most Australians
