Villa Borghese, Roma
Lazio
The gardens of the Villa Borghese descend from the Pincio terrace, which gives the classic view over the rooftops to St Peter's, through ilex avenues and lawns to the boating lake with its little Temple of Aesculapius. Easy, flat and endlessly connected to the city; the Galleria Borghese sits in the middle.
