The 'green' ornaments are very successful. The shape of the hedges is artistic.
Banpoțoc is a village in Hunedoara county, located on the other side of the Mures river from the A1 highway, near the DJ107A. From Deva there are 20 km which can be covered in 30 minutes.
Zoe's Gardens can be visited daily from 9 am to 8 pm, last admission at 7 pm. The price of a ticket was 20 lei in August 2023. Consider a 1-hour stop at the beautiful gardens.
In the gardens you can walk through several alleys, some sloping, some stairs, some flat, and I don't know how to describe the visual joys here other than to invite you to browse through the following pictures.
Zoe's Gardens is the soul project of the owner, Mr. Giovanni Salvatelli, an Italian from the Ancona area, Marche region. Zoe is the name of his granddaughter. The project was designed according to Mr. Salvatelli's own plans. The gardens cover 3.5 hectares and are in expansion. Since 2018, I Giardini di Zoe has become a tourist attraction. I Giardini di Zoe is considered the most beautiful aristocratic garden in Romania.
I was fascinated by this passionately conceived, knowledgeable and manicured garden. Granted, I don't have many terms of comparison, but it's simply cool and relaxing to stop by "I Giardini di Zoe". The project is an inspired, tasteful mix of Italian plants and decorative objects. Let the photos do the talking.
The 'green' ornaments are very successful. The shape of the hedges is artistic.
The expanse of the gardens is criss-crossed by alleys. The paths are well kept.
Some pathways climb up the high ground, offering a superb view of the flat gardens. Above is a beautiful statue of an eagle.
There are many ornaments in the garden, mainly made of stone, which contrast well with the plants.
Visit "Zoe's Gardens"! They are fascinating!
