Why travel with Il Giardino Segreto

A tour operator specialising in horticultural travel: the garden is never an extra stop, it is the reason for the journey.

The garden comes first

Historic, botanical and private gardens, with the places of art around them. Great houses, villages and the table follow from there.

Small groups, slow pace

Local expert guides and time to look properly, rather than simply pass through.

Gates that usually stay shut

A network of private gardens, associations and local organisations that share our idea of what a garden is for.

Tailor-made, looked after by us

Flexible itineraries or ones built from scratch, and every departure looked after before, during and after the journey.

Repertoire

Our journeys

More than sixty itineraries designed over the years across Italy and Europe: some return to the calendar season after season, and any of them can be tailored for a group, an association or a family.
