Traveler reviews
Marta S.
★★★★★a year agoHighly recommend to visit. Interiors are magnificent, gardens also. View for whole Torino is totally worth. It's a good place for rest and chill when the weather is good. You can sit on the bench and the garden and just enjoy the beauty of this place.
Kollár Endre
★★★★★7 months agoVery nice, let's say charming place, including a garden belongs to the Villa. Villa della Regina is located at the top of a hill, you must climb at least 7-8 minutes even from the closest bus stop. However you won't be disapponted, because the villa is a jewellery, with a very nice garden.
