Hi,
I thought I'd tap into the Forum brains trust for advice on garden tours to Italy.
I've got three weeks around April/May (actual days yet to be determined) to spend visiting gardens in Italy.
With just three weeks (including the travel time from Australia) I've decided to focus on Rome and Florence and surrounding regions...
I'm debating what I should do. Should my partner and I go for a group garden tour... And if so any recommendations on tour firms.. Or should we just organise our own itinerary? I don't want to join a group of people who just want to route march through the sights.
Any recommendations? This is my first trip to Italy.
The list of gardens at the moment includes:
Rome
Ninfa,
Villa d’Este
Villa Lante,
Villa Farnese
Villa Aldo Brandinin
Giardina della Landriana,
Villa Adriana (Emperor Hadrian’s Villa)
Florence
Villa Castello
Bobboli,
Villa Gamberaia
Villa Medici at Castello (Villa Reale)
Le Balze Garden
Within striking disstance of Rome/Florence
Villa La Foce
La Mortella
Thanks Anita
