Don’t be fooled by the 5*. Only enter if you’re willing to pay €10 for a below average ‘garden at that has mediocre views of the city. Better views in Bobili and Michelangelo Piaza. Also, staff weren’t the most polite in the world.

Due to a planned event, the villa terrace was not accessible, so part of the garden experience could not be accessed. The garden is pretty ok. We bought a combined ticket for Bardini and Boboli gardens. We went to the Boboli garden, following the indications that are on the street poles, to arrive at a closed entrance wherein a sign, in Italian-only, indicated that the access was via palazzo pitti, about 1km away. On the way there I passed by the Bardini ticket desk where I asked the receptionist who had previously sold me the tickets, if she didn’t think that she should have pointed that out to me, she started yelling and came out with the wonderful statement “I cannot be expected to say that to each visitor, there’s a paper there [on a board outside the reception with all sorts of papers] and the sent me away”. Obviously someone who “loves her job” and knows what customer orientation is and means. I went to the palazzo Pitti, where no indication is present, at the ticket office a gentleman, asked me if I wanted a refund; I said no, just wanted to know where the entrance was and referred to the previous conversation.
Be warned: ask if there are any limitations and where the accesses are.

Only 30 euros for a family of four to walk up a steep set of ancient steps and ramble past the odd bush, one or two of which had flowers on. Most of the gardens were off limits. There is a villa with an interesting photography exhibition.
Be warned, you’ll have your ticket inspected 3 times as you cover the 8 or so rooms of the exhibition and then you have to leave-there’s no going back to climb the steps and look at the bushes for one last time..
Our hope was to go to the cafe at the top and watch the sunset, but on the day of our trip, it was closed for an event. No warning of this on entry: just a grab for your cash. Top Tip: 5 mins from the entrance is the Garden of Roses which is just as nice, free, with a lovely cafe and views of Florence, but not the Duomo. You can bring your own picnic.

The garden is quite big where you could spend some time, but it looks not maintained at all. The bushes need trimming. There is a lot mold in the (fountain) water, which is actually quite disgusting. This garden has a lot potential, but I am not sure if it is worth 10 euros. Maybe 50 years ago.

Garden was average at best and I feel like the admission fee is overpriced for what is there. I also would have liked to know in advance how much of a climb it is to get to the view of Florence. If I had known, I would definitely have taken a pass on this one. Although I typically love gardens.

We enjoyed the Bardini gardens. The wisteria was in bloom and there is an area where you walk underneath them. It took about an hour to walk walk through the gardens. We entered at the top off of Costa di San Giorgio and exited at the bottom at Piazza de Mozzi. It is fairly steep walking for old or very young people. We felt this venue to be overpriced at 10e entry fee.

Came to see the garden in mid-May. Was hoping the purple wisteria was still in bloom, but it wasn't. Still a nice walk through the park and got some views of the city. Ticket price was included with the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, so make sure to keep your ticket. We started at the palace and walked from Boboli past the fort to Bardini.

Some of the best views in all of Florence. This was recommended by our hotel staff. It is a bit off the beaten path as it is on the opposite side of the Arno to most attractions and up a long and steep street; however, you will be rewarded with few crowds and amazing grounds and views over all of Florence. Numerous areas to explore and in the spring man blooming flowers. There is also a cafe and some seating if you desire to rest and enjoy the views.

The garden was recommended by a guide book and it did not disappoint. It is quite simply the most beautiful view on Florence. Definitely worth the climb. I was able to get some fresh air despite the heat. Do not miss this hidden gem!

We went in March, so very little in bloom, but still nice. Unfortunately, the map handed out at counter is confusing (implies access to nearby Boboli gardens is in lower left rather than upper right; apparently it was too much effort for the agent to clarify with, say, a pen.) Plus at one point in the poorly planned signage, it directs visitors downhill, then at the bottom directs them back up the same hill.

Btw, if you are heading to the nearby Boboli gardens, they are HUGE and worth the visit but signage is missing. You enter the gardens through the remains of an old palace, but as you approach the palace, there is no indication whatsoever that the gardens lie behind. Only as you approach the door, which is up a hill from the street, do you actually see, in small font, any mention of Boboli. Similarly, once inside there is some signage, but it is also lacking. Example: there are multiple signs directing you to a building housing lemon trees, but nothing to tell you when you are actually there.
