A true hidden treasure. Sara, a native of the Trastevere, put the villa, it's art, and its stories into the context of Rome's history. Lots of engrossing stories. . .

Francesco was an excellent tour guide with a deep knowledge of Art History and an engaging, wonderful personality. He was able to switch gears in talking with our group and provided so many interesting bits of knowledge about Villa Farnesina. This made for a great tour. Will definitely book with him again!

Das Ensemble aus Garten und Palast, Raum und Gemälde entstanden innerhalb einer kurzen Epoche ist fast schon einmalig. Gemälde von Raffael und seiner Schule, mehr als manches Museum bieten kann. Ausgezeichneter Audio Guide im App Store herunterladen unter „Villa Farnesina“ rund 1-1.5h vorsehen. Sehr empfehlenswert!
