"...il giardino più delizioso, più fruttifero, più fiorito, più popolato di ville, palazzi, di chiese, di abitazioni fra quanti formano ghirlanda alla bella Firenze ..."
(" ... a truly delightful, fruitful and flowering garden, one of the areas in the outskirts of Florence that is richest in villas, palaces, churches, and houses... ")

(Emanuele Repetti, Dizionario geografico fisico storico della Toscana)


How can you reach this delightful garden?

• By plane: after landing at Amerigo Vespucci airport of Peretola, Florence, you can reach the station by a city bus. From here you can catch another bus that will take you to Bagno a Ripoli town centre.
• By car: We advise you to leave the "Autostrada del Sole" (A 1 Motorway) at the Firenze Sud (Florence South) exit and then follow the road signs for Bagno a Ripoli which is 5 km from the motorway tollgate.
• By bus: a good bus service links the Santa Maria Novella railway station in Florence with Antella, Grassina and Bagno a Ripoli.
