In full respect of Gargonza\u2019s history and landscape, the new swimming pool project follows the ancient terraces once used for agriculture.<\/p>

Integration with the Landscape<\/h3>

The pool has been designed as an integral part of the garden.<\/p>

  • Grassy tiers<\/strong> gently shape the terrain, guiding the eye toward the panoramic view.<\/li>
  • Mediterranean flowerbeds<\/strong> featuring lavender, perennials, and ornamental grasses create movement and seasonal continuity.<\/li>
  • Newly planted trees<\/strong> ensure the pool entrance remains secluded and exclusive for the village guests.<\/li>
  • A shaded pergola<\/strong> provides a space for rest and contemplation. The result is a space that does not impose itself but reveals itself progressively. <\/li><\/ul>

    Elegance and Functionality<\/h3>

    The pool, featuring wide access via a grand staircase, has a depth of 1.40m. It is designed to ensure comfort and usability while maintaining balanced proportions within the architectural context. The interior is lined with stoneware, while the solarium is crafted from local Rapolano travertine stone. <\/p>

    The service facilities \u2014 changing rooms and showers \u2014 have been renovated within the former quarters of the farm animals. The pergola has been restored, offering a perfect spot to sit for a snack or a crisp glass of wine while gazing at the woodlands and the landscape overlooking the Val di Chiana. <\/p>

    The Gargonza pool: an immersive experience<\/h3>

    The new pool is not just a place for relaxation, but a sensory journey: the scents of Mediterranean essences, open vistas of the Tuscan hills, and the silence and harmony of the historical landscape. A perfect balance between contemporary design and heritage. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
