The lush garden of Villa Episcopo opens onto the square of the same name in the heart of Poggiardo.\n\nThe construction dates back to the late 19th century and represents one of the best examples of landscape architecture in Salento. Flower beds and tree species were meticulously planned from the beginning, making the garden a place of rare beauty.\n\nPicturesque views and vistas characterize the green area, where avenues, hedges, artificial grottoes, and a tennis court alternate.
