"What is this place? Giardino Bardini is a beautiful terraced garden with a spectacular view of the city . Grand in design, but intimate in scale, the garden has a pergola-covered stairwell leading up to the Belvedere panoramic terrace; ascending requires a slight effort—the stairs are shallow and long. There's nothing specific to do here other than the obvious: stop and smell the flowers. Any standout features or must-sees? The Belvedere terrace and the Villa Bardini itself, which hosts a temporary exhibitions as well as permanent collection of artwork by the modern Italian artist Pietro Annigonsi. Was it easy to get around? This garden has good signage and is easy to navigate. All said and done, what—and who—is this best for? This is perfect for those in need of a break from the museum scene ; anyone looking for a view; and families with kids." - Erica Firpo
