Traveler reviews
Lizzie Smith
★★★★★8 years agoOasis of calm in hectic city. I stumbled on to this amazing place. Continuation of crumbled grandeur theme in heady and intoxicating city. Beautiful loggia, many original frescoes still here. When I came there were high-spec telescopes set up and ads for yoga and Pilates. This would be a brilliant, safe space to bring children to run and play. There is a playground for under 4 (any older it would be too babyish) and lovely expanses of grass. Feel very zen. Get the picnic gear and come on down.

★★★★★5 years agoBeautiful space in the middle of the city! Visit the farmers market every Saturday and enjoy Yoga 🧘♀️ classes in the studio available inside the Villa or outdoors.
