Almost an hidden gem! Great location, an incredible garden. We saw an interesting exhibition by a French artist, Annette Messagger. There is a good restaurant inside the villa, with hot and cold dishes. The garden is a must visit.

Arrived at Villa Medici to be told rudely by the receptionist that there was only a French tour left for the day. She would not tell us when the English tour was the next day. She told us that there were some rooms that can...More
