The Italian Garden and Compton Acres
The Italian Villa is set within the privately owned Compton Acres Gardens, originally created by Thomas William Simpson in 1924.
Defined by symmetry and elegant formality, the Italian Garden is centred around a striking ornamental lake, adorned with carved stone fountains and vibrant water lilies. Shoals of Koi Carp glide gracefully through the water, adding movement and colour to the serene surroundings.
This picturesque outdoor space is perfect for a refreshment break, drinks reception, BBQ celebration, or canapé event, seamlessly blending natural beauty with refined hospitality.
If you’d like to explore Compton Acres themed gardens, reduced rate garden passes can be added to your booking.
