Lonely Planet review

The lush sculpted gardens known as Giardino Giusti are named after the noble family that has looked after it and the mansion since opening the garden to visitors in 1591. It is the only such private residence left in Verona. The garden is an Italianate mix of the sculpted and natural, graced by soaring cypresses (one of which the German poet Goethe immortalised in his travel writings).

You can get lost in the little labyrinth at the right of the garden, and climb the far end of it for sweeping views over the city. It is a verdant and peaceful oasis.
