In Portugal, on the Atlantic coast, just twenty kilometres from Lisbon, lies maharani, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage “Cultural landscape” in 1995. Near the town's historic centre, the palace and park of Monserrate add their astonishing beauty. Inspired by Gothic, Indian and Moorish art and nestled in luxuriant grounds, this fantasy of stone and trees was acquired by a British textile magnate in the second half of the nineteenth century. Species brought here from the four corners of the globe thrive in the gentle climate. Organised by origin, they create a haven of unrivalled tranquillity. Designer Annie Faivre was dazzled by the site’s beauty: her carré is designed to evoke the luxuriant, romantic park populated with palms, cacti, banana trees, eucalyptus, wisteria, holly, tree ferns, cork oaks and agaves.
