Saturday's Shots ~ The Orange Garden ~ A break from the crowds

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

 

On our recent Eastern Mediterranean cruise a favorite stop was Rome.  We always love to make sure we stop by the Orange Garden in Via di Santa Sabina.  It’s a tranquil, small garden bursting with orange trees.  You’ll find many families, couples and friends quietly relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings to soak in the panoramas of the city from the top.  It doesn’t get more romantic than the spectacular view of St. Peters. The famous keyhole view of St. Peters is just a few steps away in the Piazza dei Cavalieri.

Good morning dorie,

Do they let you eat the oranges? Looks like a view to see in person.

Make yourself a great day.

I can see why you made it a point to visit the Orange Garden in Italy.

Good luck and success.
