It features the typical characteristics of the gardens and cloisters that were common in the Neapolitan area, especially during the Baroque period: squares of grass divided by brick-paved paths, a central well, fruit trees and ornamental plants with aromatic essences, and columns—all originally plastered—that supported a pergola on wooden crosspieces.

The forest is made up of a series of progressively decreasing river terraces. The first is the one on which the farmhouse stands and is the one where forests have been deforested to make room for crops, it is also the largest and covers the entire Sinello valley. The second, at a difference in altitude of about 7 metres, is the one that hosts the current residual forest. In winter and spring it is often flooded and puddles form, while in the hottest months of the year the ground is completely dry. The next terrace is the one where the Sinello, when in flood, flows and hosts very heterogeneous vegetation. One meter below is the last terrace made up of the river bed made up of limestone and gravel. The climate of the forest is Mediterranean, the average temperature throughout the year is 16°, while the average temperature in July is 25° and in January 6°. The most important tree species are present on the second terrace and are the Cerro, the English oak, the white hornbeam and the ash. There are specimens of trees that reach 25 meters in height. Inside the forest and also in the part of the river that passes through it, a delicate ecosystem survives, in the waters of the Sinello we can find Brasche, Buttercups, Water Celery, Watercress. There are submerged colonies of vegetation that give the waters their characteristic blue-green colour. The fauna of the area is represented by the various migratory birds frequent in the temperate coastal areas, by foxes and badgers, as well as moles and hedgehogs.

Pollutri can boast the presence, in its territory, of the Don Venanzio forest: a delicate and precious, as well as rare, example of a plain forest, towards which scientists and ecologists have turned their attention, in fact the Don Venanzio forest is one of the last strips of lowland forest on the Adriatic coast. Unfortunately what we can see today is nothing more than what remains of a much larger and more extensive forest near the Sinello river.
