Traveler reviews
Sebastian Reiz
★★★★★7 months agoWe visited this extraordinary cultural heritage the next but last day of 2025 together with lots of other tourists and locals. To really profit from your visit spend time with the female guides you meet throughout the building. They are knowledgeable and really fun and pleasant, telling you all the secrets of the place. Highly recommended!

★★★★★a month agoAmazing villa from the 1930s, built by a wealthy and powerful local family. FAI did an amazing job preserving the feeling, the interior, furniture and even the books in the library. Tickets cost 15 euro, but that's money well spent. Take at least 60-90 minutes for the visit.
