Park in Tuscany in Chianti: the Ancient "Orangerie" Lemon house

The ancient lemon house, also so called "Orangerie" is a long and narrow building with an eclectic style possessing ample windows in order to ensure the preservation of its splendid citrus trees during cooler winter months.

The vast collection of lemon, orange, and citron trees is enriched by both older species as well as modern hybrids.

In front of the lemon house, there is an ample stone court where the trees in their antique terracotta vases are exhibited during the warmer months, while safely housed inside during the winter.
