Traveler reviews
Maria L.
★★★★★6 months agoBeautiful panoramic view of the city, especially on a sunny day. There's a lot of walking but can be done with kids (6 and up) with occasional breaks around the garden. We saw some people taking snack breaks too, which would be ideal with children.
Rose Carozza
★★★★★Edited 9 months agoAbsolutely stunning and 109% worth every step we took to get here. I loved this part of our trip so much. It was so beautiful and relaxing and so nice to be away from the main area of Florence for an afternoon. Very happy we walked to this garden. Highly recommend making this part of your trip to frienze especially if you need a break from mopeds and people walking directly into you like we did. It was refreshing.
