Traveler reviews
Giulia
★★★★★3 years agoI couldn't enter, but from the outside it's just a lovely historic building, with water all around it and a tiny "bridge'' to reach the entrance. Together with the park next to it, the other interesting buildings and the quiet surroundings it is a pleasure to walk by and take pictures! It looks well looked after and maintained.
