On the way down from our San Miniato walk, Cassy and I noticed an open gate leading into the most beautiful giardino delle rose- or rose garden. Apparently, the owners open up their garden every spring for about a month and let people roam through. There were roses, lemons, artichokes, peppers, and my persona favorite, peonies all in bloom. The place smelled so clean and fresh. Cassy and I took a nice little romantic stroll through the roses, under arbors, and by fountains. The place is incredible because it looks over Florence and you can literally see Santa Maria del Fiore (the Duomo) from this garden. I love flowers oh so much so this was such a great treat. I am going to try to go back again before they close the gate.
These photos are just GORGEOUS!
