Hacienda
The Hacienda, nicknamed the "Sunlight Conservatory", has an unusual decor.
Walls and low walls, pierced by windows, define indoor courtyards.
A small pool and terraces help evoke the atmosphere of Hispanic gardens.
This setting is the backdrop for a remarkable collection of perennial plants from arid regions.
Cacti and succulents grow side by side.
A display case shows off tiny specimens, among which are the lithops, also known as "living stones" because of their ingenious camouflage that protects them from herbivores.
