My favorite gardens & garden-like spaces in Italy

Where to find peaceful places, marvelous mosaics and Etruscan tombs

I do not have a green thumb. I have killed a cactus. I famously do not like big parks. The Villa Borghese and Villa Pamphili are wonderful places. They are not for me. I do love parks where I can see the edges. Even better if there are buildings in view.

Spring has definitively sprung here in Rome. Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and summer is almost here. When it is not still quite beach weather but I want to be outside I visit a park or a garden. These are a few of my favorites. There are so many more that I have not listed here or visited yet. Tell me about your favorite gardens in Italy in the comments.
