The gardens feature innumerable fountains, sculptures, and a non-stop Baroque soundtrack (really!). There are outdoor "drawing rooms" to supplement those in the residence and a lake where visitors can rent a boat to go for a row. It's hard to describe, and impossible to do justice in photos. Just go!
See the water back there, waaaay in the distance? That's still part of the garden!

Collonade Grove
Collonade Grove which featured intricate statues, carvings, and fountains everywhere! The sound of the water together with the music echoing off of the stone architecture was incredible.
One of the many splashing fountains!
The Ballroom
The Ballroom featured landscaping in step formation and various fountains, with a fine gravel floor and mosaic-ed entrance. This was my favorite room, not because it was more beautiful than the rest, but because it was so unexpected. I love the idea of attending a ball in this outdoor Ballroom!

Oh wow. So lovely. I love the mix of green and water and structure. I'm putting it on my to-go list.
