Hidden Gardens of Italy

Image
Hidden Gardens of Florence Boboli Gardens Just behind the Pitti Palace and hidden by a secretive wall, you can discover the Boboli Gardens, home of a collection of sculptures and Roman antiquities. Walking through the park, you will be stunned by the luxuriant and naturalistic plants, the Neptune’s fountain and the Isolotto, where you will find the Andromeda chained to the rocks. Finally, reaching the hilltop you will enjoy a unique view of the old red roofs and the Tuscany countryside. Giardino Bardini Walking along the Arno and near Ponte Vecchio area, raising your head you can discover this beautiful terrace garden, that will also offer an amazing view of Florence. A little wood, Orchids, Hyacinths, Hydrangeas and many other plants frame the Baroque staircase of the 18th century and the statues located all over the estate. You will absolutely love this park in October, when the Osmanthus will inebriate your stroll with its fragrance.
