Acquired by the French philosopher Maurice Blondel in 1920, the villa’s gardens are a testament to his passion for botany, featuring four distinct sections: Italian, English, Japanese, and French. The gardens have been featured in several prestigious gardening and interior design magazines, showcasing their timeless beauty.
