The House of a Lifetime: Writer and horticulturalist, Umberto Pasti, has spent a lifetime gathering and curating a truly unique and museum-worthy collection of objects, textiles and art. Umberto's magical, timeless home in Tangier holds a great many of them, each with their own story, and is surrounded by lush, wild gardens. Although he has cultivated these himself, he describes himself not as a gardener, but a "plant collector". "I love plants to be happy together," he says. "I want them to be in a very good mood...I feel the need to live surrounded by happy creatures."


 

Umberto Pasti's exquisite home, full of museum-worthy objects, may be the House of a Lifetime, but the writer and horticulturalist has always been equally inspired by its enthralling location: Tangier. Here, he shares a very special insider's guide, a real must-read for anyone contemplating a trip to the Moroccan city.
