The Italian Garden at Vizcaya Villa is a 10 acre European themed garden, which is reminiscent of the late seventeenth century Italy and France. The Formal Gardens resemble France’s Versailles with all of Europe’s aesthetic elements. Although the inspiration behind this garden was Europe, the Italian Garden has elements that blend with the sub - tropical surroundings as well. Lush mazes, trimmed shrubs, patterns with bushes, rare orchids, theatre garden, elaborate fountains and abundance of massive structures,geometric arrangements, all give the perfect blend of european and sub -tropical vibes.
