In some spaces, the dripping and climbing vegetation felt like it could swallow the house. The air was fresh and the temperature cool.
An eclectic mix of mis-matched planters and species offered a fresh and relaxed perspective on the vertical garden.
Time seemed to stand still in the convivial courtyards of the inn, where guests passed their time sunbathing, sharing travel stories and drinking wine throughout the day. It was tempting to imagine elements of these outdoor rooms recreated on the balconies, courtyards and rooftops of my city’s residences.
