About
A massive stone dining table with an inset fountain chills the wine of guests at this immaculate and historic water garden.
In terms of Renaissance landscapes, Villa Lante's gardens are perhaps one of the most beautifully preserved in the world. They are best described by definition as water gardens, but by sheer elemental subtext as well. A massive stone table in the center of the garden, steeped in history, is the crown jewel of the gardens, with gurgling fountains, novel irrigation systems, and impressive pieces of water-based design.
