Florence Hidden Gem | Giardino Bardini
If you visit Florence, in addition to the Uffizi Gallery and the Academy of Fine Arts, there's a low - key yet enchanting garden secret - the Giardino Bardini! šø Must - visit reason : The wisteria corridor is incredibly beautiful! From April to May, it becomes an ocean of wisteria, with purple waterfalls cascading from the trellises and the air filled with a subtle floral fragrance. It's like stepping into a dream. Whether you're taking photos or strolling, it's an amazing experience!ššš š° A noble private garden : The garden dates back to the Middle Ages and was once owned by the Mozzi family, a noble family in Florence. Later, it changed hands several times and was purchased by art collector Stefano Bardini, who carefully restored it into today's Baroque - style garden. The classic 17th - century marble steps were where the nobility used to take walks and hold banquets and are now one of the best photo spots!šŖ·šŖ·šŖ· š Panoramic sunset views : Giardino Bardini is a hidden spot for viewing the Florence skyline! It's less crowded and quieter than the famous Michelangelo Square. Here, you can enjoy a 360° view of the entire city. The sunset casting its golden light on the red rooftops is absolutely breathtaking! š® A little secret : Legend has it that the Mozzi family buried treasure somewhere in the garden, which remains unfound to this day and has become one of Florence's most mysterious urban legends.
