Villa Negrotto Cambiaso

Villa Negrotto Cambiaso is a historic mansion with surrounding gardens styled in classical Italian form near the coast. The property features residential rooms and garden spaces arranged with water elements, paved pathways, and stone ornaments across multiple levels.

A tower from the 13th century became the foundation for a new mansion built around 1558 by a local noble family. This transformation made the site serve both as a summer home and as an agricultural center for the surrounding lands.

The gardens follow Renaissance design principles with geometric paths, water features, and carefully arranged plantings that visitors can observe today. This layout shows how people once shaped nature to reflect order and harmony.

The grounds are open daily and accessible from multiple entry points, with seasonal hours that vary between seasons. Visitors can walk the paved pathways through the gardens at their own pace.

A large glass greenhouse from the early 20th century sits on the grounds and houses plant varieties that are uncommon in this region. It shows how people once cultivated exotic plants in this coastal climate.
