The Limonaia of Villa StrozziAn obligatory stop, along Via Pisana, is Villa Strozzi, the Limonaia and its large grove (Boschetto). Villa Strozzi is a sumptuous historic residence built in the 16^th century by the Strozzi family, one of the most influential Florentine families of the time. You will find it at the top of an unexpected hill surrounded by greenery. Above all, its Limonaia (lemon house) is famous, originally designed to house and protect lemon trees during the winter months, and today used for cultural events, art exhibitions, concerts and other events.

Surrounding the villa and the lemon grove is the Boschetto, an urban forest surrounded by nature. Here, one can enjoy tranquillity and relaxation far away (but very close!) from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Boschetto offers walking paths and open spaces ideal for walks, picnics, and outdoor activities. Respecting its green spaces is essential!

Isolotto, Villa Vogel and the Catwalk. Continuing along Via Pisana, you will come across the areas of Legnaia, meaning woodshed: it takes its name from the piles of wood collected in this area. In addition to the rich availability of wood, the area also produced large quantities of vegetables, particularly cabbage! And then there is Soffiano, a quiet residential neighbourhood. Moving towards the Arno, however, you enter the Isolotto district, where you can walk in the Villa Vogel Park!. At this point, you only need to cross the famous Isolotto bridge, "the catwalk", which directly connects this neighbourhood to the huge Cascine Park in Florence. 160 hectares of Florentine greenery along the Arno are where you can find peace.
