Traveler reviews
Ju Do
★★★★★9 years agoFantastic space just a short distance from florence main centre. Perfect for running, cycling, dog walking or simply sitting and enjoying the incredible view of the river arno. Historic park with a fun back story and some little hidden gems like the pyramid that used to house ice.
Rama
★★★★★Edited 5 years agoIts a beautiful park to take your pet and go for a picnic. The park is very large, so it is perfect to go cycling or jogging, especially in the evening as the park is near the arno, and it is absolutely perfect when the sun sets here
