World-renowned Landscape Architect George Girvin & Associates strives to impose as little impact as possible on the natural landscape throughout the development, from the restorations of the Farmhouse Villas and Hotel to the creation of new homes. All landscape design on the property integrates the natural surroundings and is enhanced by local vegetation as laid out in the Natural Planting Plan. And because leaving the natural Tuscan beauty is the goal, not a single tree has been removed from a site to make room for a new home. Rather, buildings are designed around trees, as it should be.
