History

The garden Vacunae Rosae at the Tenuta La Tacita is a 2-hectare themed garden that houses over 5,000 different varieties of roses, designed as a spiral elevation path through the queen of flowers and evocative watergames of the 9 symbolic fountains .
The rose garden is divided into over 130 areas and extends over seven terraces with different thematic routes, a historic, cultural and artistic trip to the world of rose. In each sector there is a group of homogeneous roses for botanical development (families), for history, geography, colors and scents, and other curiosities as their names.
The areas are defined by the real and virtual crosses between three architectural vectors: the ground digression, the water course, the main access path.
The garden is ''marked'' longitudinally and crossed by lines that ideally connect the 9 symbolic fountains and the resting points, forming a complex pattern.
The fence that protect the garden are part of background scenery. On them different types of roses are climbing. Above all the walls of the terraces are lines of climbing roses with a chromatic digression of approx. 800 meters.
On the outside of the garden there is a circuit of trees sacred the rose: tamarix, pomegranate and almond.
The rose garden could also be called of ''The 5 Senses'': the scents of the roses (the smell), the velvet petal (the touch), the flow of water (the sound), the colors of the roses (the view) and the taste to be experienced at the nearby restaurant at La Tacita.

Travel notes

A few kilometers from Rome, in the Rieti area of the woods of the “Goddess Vacuna” named “La Tacita” by Plutarch, because “incorruptible and only intelligible,” stands the world's first rose garden in terms of variety and breadth. “Don't just call it a rose garden,” is the imperative of the landlord, who has devoted his entire self to the creation of this eden dedicated to the rose of his heart, his wife, who together with him runs the family business La Tacita Country Club, in whose bosom the rose garden stands.
Here of roses there are more than 5,000 of different varieties to design the world's first rose garden, whose shape recalls the wing of an angel immortalized at the moment when, lying on the cold, bare earth, with his divine touch he brings it to life in an explosion of scents and colorful hues. A little eden on earth where one breathes love, passion, perseverance, and knowledge because to come up with such a wonder requires combining divine inspiration with human ingenuity.
A flowering enchantment in 130 hectares of forest to be admired in May.

Triskelis Restaurant

The name evokes Triskelis, the celtic Trischele symbol, steeped in mythology and ancient meanings. This figure, composed of three spirals intertwined, symbolizes the cyclical nature of life. The eternal motion whom everything is subjected pushes us toward the relentless pursuit of our identity, with the objective to improve ourselves every day. In the respect of the cycle of nature some commodities are produced directly on-site in a natural way, as the fine olive oil.
