Iseo Lake. Private villa with olive tree grove

From an arduous slope to marvelous terraces

Is it possible to create a garden with swimming pool, dining areas at the open air and terraces for enjoying the lake from a small olive tree grove on a steep slope without cutting down trees? It was really a challenge but in this garden Sandrini company made all the proprietor’s dreams come true.
The will, that was clearly expressed, was to ensure that the surface areas, whose unpassable slope made even the olives collection difficult, would become easily accessible and thus usable. By exploiting the natural incline of the ground with its steepness and the rows of existing olive trees, several terraces have been created both through the realization of stone walls and with stabilization works of slopes.
The focus was on the use of natural materials and of modern technologies for the consolidation of rocky slopes.
Therefore, a panoramic terrace appears which has a sitting surrounded by scented roses  and where it is possible to admire the lake in solitude and tranquillity, a terrace with gazebo that could be shelter for dining and working, a terrace with a wonderful swimming pool, a terrace where it is possible to relax with a hot tub and further fruit terraces.
A great challenge that turned an olive tree in a slope into a lush garden on more levels.
