    We did not do a private tour, but as noted a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. There are almost no furnishings, but the frescos in every room are spectacular. The climb up the garden to the smaller villa is worth the effort.

    One of The most impressive villa of Italy … historically important and reflective of 2 popes, several cardinals, etc. Some of the best floors and particularly wall and ceiling paintings. The room of maps circa 1573 , brings to light the power and knowledge the popes in terms of geography… you will be overwhelmed. Outstanding construction and gardens … at first it looks ordinary then you discover a grand building which should not be missed. Charming town… only accessible by car … and you have to be comfortable with narrow streets.

    Villa Farnese in Caprarola is a marvellous and beautiful place, and I recommend everyone to see it. But we would certainly not be able to appreciate its beauty and history without a great guide - and Serena, our Guide from Blue Cat Tours, did a great job. We do not often hire an additional local guide for our tours, yet it was an absolute jewel! Serena has a HUGE knowledge about nuances, history and context of all the things she talks about, but she is able to express it in a way making you understand it fully, even without deep knowledge beforehand. After an amazing 2+ hours in Caprarola with her, we almost immediately decided to book not one, but TWO additional tours with her in Rome, and we do not regret a single euro spent on these. The time spent with her was enriching, entertaining and pleasant in all the ways imaginable, and I cannot recommend her enough. Great choice for everyone wanting to spend some quality time and learn more about this beautiful region.

    Superb Farnese residence dominant over the entire town of Caprarola commissioned by Alessandro Farnese the Elder designed as a pentagonal fortified fortress with corner bastions by Antonio Sangallo from 1530 to 1546 date of his death. Alessandro Farnese the Younger entrusted the continuation of the work to Vignola in 1547 , the work resumed in 1559 radically modifying the initial project from defensive fortress to imposing Renaissance palace . Entering instils a little 'fear reverential , each room or corridor is a wonder after another with its frescoes , what about the helical staircase that connects the lower basement floors with the upper floors frescoed by Antonio Tempesta vote 10+ experience to repeat

    Fantastic and unexpected cultural site. The Farnese Palace in Caprarola is one of the most important and intriguing late Renaissance monuments in Europe. I assure a continuous wow effect throughout the visit. Amazing hanging gardens. To return and return. Italy, a wonderful country.

    Palazzo Farnese

    Villa Farnese in Caprarola is one of the best examples of late Renaissance mansionin Italy: it is an imposing pentagonal fortress, while the interior is decorated with splendid frescoes and grotesques from the 16th century. You will admire the architectural masterpiece designed by Vignola, great architect of the Italian Renaissance and also author of the frescoes that embellish the majestic Scala Regia, the great staircase used by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese to reach the apartments on the main floor. Enjoy then the splendid decorations of the state rooms and reception hall, the echo that resounds in the Sala degli Angeli (Hall of the Angels) and the impressive Italian Renaissance garden, enriched by statues, fountains, chestnut woods and cypress trees. The tour will end in the Renaissance gardens of the Villa, called Orti Farnesiani like the gardens of the Farnese family on the Palatine Hill in Rome!
