Traveler reviews
Sara Phillips
★★★★★a month agoSpectacular place. Peaceful, so much to see— what a gem of Rome. As a perfumer teaching botanical perfumery workshops (Flora et Alchimia), I loved seeing all of the perfume and oil bottles. A very special place. Will definitely return!
Ancient Blogger
★★★★★3 months agoA superb museum (inside and out) with lots of Etruscan objects. The gardens are beautiful, just to note that the cafe is being refurbished so there were only a couple of vending machines.
