Stretching down to the sea, the Gardens of Villa Ormond form a splendid Mediterranean park where history, art, and nature come together. Created in the late 19th century by Michel Louis Ormond, they were designed as a haven of beauty and serenity.
As you stroll along the shaded paths, you are embraced by the scents, colors, and whispers of the wind in the palm trees, discovering with each step a delicate harmony between species from five continents and the golden light of the Ligurian Riviera.
Born from the passion of visionary gardeners, botanists, and landscape architects, the park features 245 plant species from 66 botanical families. Under the sun of the City of Flowers, Villa Ormond invites you to dream and reflect — a place where nature and time seem beautifully suspended.

Under the Ligurian sun, Dolceacqua stretches between hills and river, suspended in golden light. Its name, born from a Roman villa called Dulcius, already whispers of sweetness.
The Ponte Vecchio, arched like a smile, once enchanted Monet, who called it “a jewel of lightness.” By the bridge, narrow and cool alleys intertwine, climbing toward the Doria Castle, proudly rising from the stone.
The houses murmur their stories through the centuries. The air carries the scent of olive oil, wine, and sunlight. In the square, a glass of Rossese di Dolceacqua catches the evening glow.
Everything invites slowness, simple beauty, the Dolce Vita itself. And as day fades, the village turns to gold — a secret the night keeps tenderly.
