A Living Garden: Where nature breathes and tells its story
The grounds at Casaliva Relais are a living ecosystem, thoughtfully cared for to bring fresh air, comforting scents, and a sense of history. Here, every plant plays a role.
The Roots of the Name “Casaliva”
At the heart of the estate stand around 100 olive trees of the Casaliva variety. They give the relais its name and yield the extra virgin olive oil served every morning—defining the hillside as enduring symbols of local tradition.
Plants in the Garden
A stroll along the garden paths reveals selected flora that cultivate a fresh and healthy outdoor atmosphere:
• The Ginkgo Biloba: A true “living fossil.” Recognized as one of the oldest tree species on Earth, it brings a quiet sense of timelessness to the grounds.
• Bamboo: A natural source of oxygen, bamboo absorbs large amounts of CO₂ and releases up to 35% more oxygen than many other trees, keeping the air around the property exceptionally crisp and clean.
• Aromas of the Mediterranean: Shrubs and plants such as pink peppercorn, bay laurel, rosemary, and jasmine fill the air with gentle, natural scents.
Bringing Nature Indoors: Wood and Stone
This connection to the landscape extends into the guest rooms through local, raw materials:
• Cedar Wood: In addition to King Cirano, one of the Superior rooms with terrace features a bed crafted from solid cedar wood. Beyond its visual warmth, cedar releases a subtle, balsamic fragrance that creates a soothing indoor environment.
• Local Prun Stone: In the other Superior room with terrace, the bed frame is crafted from Prun stone—the region’s characteristic pink-and-white natural stone. It grounds the space, connecting local geology with cool, timeless design.
Every detail at Casaliva Relais is an appreciation of the surrounding region, designed for a deeply restful stay.
