Rome, Ninfa and Castel Gandolfo, Italy

On this Roman adventure, ancient botanical romance is part of everyday life. Open by special arrangement, the gardens are fit for a Pope at the traditional papal residence, Castel Gandolfo. And nearby Ninfa will win you over with stunning floral displays that spill generously over poetic ruins of an ancient village. As if that wasn't entrancing enough, you'll also pay visits to the great Renaissance gardens of Villa Lante and Villa d'Este. The latter is a 16th-century spot famed for its use of water features - a spell-binding composition of cascades and fountains.
