Lonely Planet review for Giardino Torrigiani

Passers-by have no idea, but behind the unassuming facades of Via Serragli lies a vast, secret garden – Europe’s largest privately owned green space within an historic centre. The Torrigiani family has restored the leafy retreat, and Vanni, son of the current marquis, conducts tours of the grounds personally. Designed at the height of the Romantic movement in the early 19th century, the sprawling complex includes rare tree species, Medici battlements, wide English-style lawns and complex Masonic symbology.
