There are three “totem” cypresses in the garden and several more at the entrance to the house, reaching up to seven metres in height. Bathed in sunlight from dawn to dusk, their grace and beauty gives the entire garden a special touch. More sensitive plants, such as palm trees, oleanders and agaves, also thrive in the garden, and olives can also be picked from the trees planted around the house – says the owner Mina, pointing out that there is a particular time of year when she finds the garden to be at its most beautiful.
