Il Giardino dei Tarocchi - Capalbio
Tarot Garden
This fantastical sculpture garden was started in 1978 by the artist Nicki de Saint Phalle, who having visited the Guell Park by Gaudi in Barcelona was inspired to one day create her own garden. The sculptures are based on the characters of the twenty two tarot cards and range from the monumental to smaller pieces. Virtually every surface is covered in ceramic, glass or mirrors, and there are unusual waterfalls and fountains throughout the garden.
The garden is open from the 1st April until 15th October 14.30 – 19.30 entrance fee applies; under 7’s free of charge.
January – March and November – December on the first Saturday of each month entrance is free of charge from 09.00 – 13.00
Location: Localita' Garavicchio, 58011 Capalbio (GR), Italy
Open from: 1st April -15th October 14.30 – 19.30

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
