What travelers are saying
- Tatyana MMinsk, Belarus118 contributionsFantastic escape from crowded Florence! Amazing view, beautiful nature. Entrance tickets costed 10€ per person. I would also recommend to visit a small café and enjoy amazing view from there. Very enjoyable timeWritten July 26, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- gifanniBudapest, Hungary7 contributionsMy favourite from our Florence trip. Beutiful interior and garden, nice staff, and the entry plus tour guide was free. Very much recommended!Written August 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Richard WongHong Kong, China50 contributionsFree entry. Just next to Piazzale MicheJlangelo. Appreciate the Japanese elements added to this garden. Cozy enough for escaping the crowd and enjoying the commanding view of Florence.Written July 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RamikatIllinois337 contributionsWe went here on a sunny but cold and windy day in late February. There actually were some flowering bushes, bulb flowers and pansies. The grounds people were getting the island garden ready. I'm sure this is beautiful in warmer weather!Written March 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- VoyagerAimerSourirePrinceton, NJ647 contributionsCities built around rivers are the norm everywhere, but summer in Florence is so hot and crowded, with some many sights to check off the list, that just as night falls, it is nice to just forget all of that, lean on a bridge rampart and just watch the Arno flow by. It has done so for centuries, so it is not on this hot July evening that the Arno is going to change its ways, and that is why we love it.Written July 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TonyB932Sydney, Australia226 contributionsThis place is just picture postcard amazing in the evening. It was the most incredible venue for a wedding reception dining under the stars, dancing inside and enjoying drinks overlooking the countryside. If you are looking for somewhere to hold your wedding reception then look no further, this is it.Written September 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cocciolino2015Perugia, Italy463 contributionsWe were on a day-tour of 3 Medici villas,which is pushing things if you're from Perugia,but the gardens of Villa Castello are impressive and it's easy to imagine what they probably looked like in their heyday. As someone else noted this villa is usually coupled together with a visit to Villa Petraia distant more or less 2 kilometers. Unfortunately it's uphill ALL the way and frankly we're not getting any younger. Our tour was running late (don't they always?) and any form of transportation would have been MOST welcome as well as getting us to the next villa on our time schedule. The custodians at Villa Petraia were impatient and very put out to overrun our time limit.Written March 21, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HelloBalouDenmark188 contributionsOnly open few weeks a year - this not very wellknown little garden is definitely worth a visit for its fabulous display of Iris (it's for free - but please consider a little donation!).Written March 27, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- naomidean87Winnersh, UK50 contributionsNo exotic plants to see when I went but the park was lovely and quiet and had a lovely chilled afternoon relaxing there away from all the noise of the centre. Great little hideaway green space to take a moment to switch off in between exploring the city. Lots of nice shady areas to keep cool as well. Would have been 5/5 if there had been plants in the greenhouse partWritten August 8, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LepandRa'anana, Israel91 contributionsThe public is allowed in once an hour on the half hour i. e. 10.30 11.30 etc.
The interior is stunning. It is one of the most beautiful villas I have ever seen. The gardens are laid out beautifully but not much in bloom this time of year.Written July 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was amazed at how close I was to the stage, I was at the back in the stalls. The atmosphere was amazing the acoustics and lighting just added to the whole experience. Got a bus from St Marco's square number 17, 21 and walked the rest 10 minute walk. There were no buses after the event so booking a taxi would be advisable if staying in Central FlorenceWritten March 13, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel M6 contributionsIf you are a runner and will be touring Florence stay near this park. It has a 6.8 kilometer loop jogging path -- no traffic, only crossing a handful of not busy streets. I ran very early in the morning -- like 6 to 7 am -- and there were a handful of other joggers so felt safe but not crowded. Plus it is only about 1 mile from the Ponte Vecchio which can be reached by a running path along the Arno river.Written November 6, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Akin ALondon, UK376 contributionsLovely gardens for a relaxing stroll.
There are some beautiful trees, ponds and flowering plans in the gardens. It's not the most polished of venues, but it is nice place if you're looking for decent walk outside of the main tourist attractions.Written June 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's run as a venue for weddings etc now and could do with a little TLC in the garden. But that said, it is magnificent. Take care when driving up the hill to get to the Villa, the road is a nightmare with few passing places. Tip: pay a little extra to access the Villa for even better views and photo opportunities.Written January 3, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
