Even though it was quite busy, the visit was well organised. What we did not like is when we bought the tickets, it was advertised that you could follow an audio tour using the app instead of the guided tour. We liked this option as we were with young children a d their attention span for a guided tour is limited, especially in a language they don't speak. When we got up to the entrance of the caves; they said this was not possible and we had to wait an hour (!) for the English guided tour. The guide took a tremendous amount of time to explain each crack and sediment difference so we decided to walk on and tagged along to two Italian guided groups before we were 'caught' and told to stay with the guide. Our round took 1,5 hours; I did not dare to ask how long the normal tour would have taken. The cave itself is nice, well lit and the path is fenced and very accessible even for young children. There is only one route to follow so it's not possible to get lost.

Amazing experience! Must visit

Very beautiful and amazing place

The caves themselves are amazing! The company running them are running a slick operation and probably making a decent profit and in some cases have put profit before customers and this is why I've only given 3 stars... The buses that take you to the caves from the car park are mainly standing space with very few seats, they packed them full and it's a hot and windy road. The most annoying part however is that photos are forbidden, even with no flash. The only reason for this is so they can sell tickets to the photo tour where you're allowed to take photos. There's no pricing for the photo tour online however so I can only assume it's extortionate.

There are very few places across Europe that will offer you this experience without having to crawl yourself through dark and humid places. Incredibly beautiful experience.

Most outstanding place that I've ever been. Our Tour Guide was exceptionally knowledgeable

VERY enjoyable! Amazing beauty everywhere!😀👍

Visited the museum with my wife and our dog during our stay at the Villa Gioia in Fabriano. We had to follow a group of school kids of about 13-14 years old. The tour was guided by a young man who was excellent in his presentation. The language was Italian but I think it's possible to obtain a translator for other languages. I was amazed by what I saw and heard, the explanations were clear and also entertaining at the same time. We were able to see the process of ancient paper production and also modern paper production. There was also a very interesting part on the introduction of the watermark, used on many types of quality paper and in particular paper currency. This museum is great for kids and adults and is also visitabile by less able thanks to the staff who provided a ramp for my wife to enter the museum and then transported her to the first floor in a lift. There is also a very nice shop to buy gifts.

Amazing morning at the museum. We didn't book ahead and we probably should have. School groups were touring on the same day so when the guide finished with them, he offered to take us around. His English was limited but we managed and he was so kind to take us around. He showed my 6-year-old how to make paper and let him try it out. Highly recommended activity for families. I suggest to plan better than we did and go when there is an English tour so it's even better. There's a great playground and park across the street where you can do a picnic after.

A must-see in Fabriano, being the first town in Europe to produce paper, it has a great history. The museum itself is easy to reach, set in abeautiful ancient and well kept building, with any kind of facility for disable and has a video in English to explain what you are going to see before you start.

Very interesting place, good for families. English excursions not every day. Still worthy to visit. We have got a pleasant workshop for kids and produced a souvenir with own hands.

I went here for a class field trip! It was really cool to see because they take you through their history, you can also actually make paper if you take a tour. It is old fashioned but they show you how they keep up their modern touch. The town surrounding the factory is also very nice. It is totally worth seeing and making a stop at their factory with their excellent guides!

This was a very educational and creative experience, guides are amazing is a small museum but is a ton of information that you receive in a very natural way

I loved every bit about this museum. Lots of amazing history, the staff were helpful and friendly, and I learned so much about the history of writing medium as we know it. Thank you very much!!

Ever wonder what happened to the house of the Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus? The house without the foundation was believed to have been brought by the angels in Loreto Italy in the middle of the road. The foundation of the house is in Israel though. The house is now housed inside a beautiful church in Loreto, Italy. We drove there from. Rome and took us about 3 and a half hours. See the church at night or might as well attend a mass at night and during the day. The place is beautiful and quiet. Parking during our visit was challenging. Make sure you have Euros in cash/coins to pay for parking. When we were there, it won't take credit and one miraculous moment, someone gave us coins to pay for parking! An angel sent by Jesus or Mama Mary! Praise God! You cannot take pictures i side Mother Mary's house. But once inside, you can see even some of Jesus scribbles on the wall 😀

Visiting the Madonna’s House in Loreto was a deeply moving and spiritual experience. This sacred place, known as the Holy House, is believed to be where the Virgin Mary lived and received the Angel Gabriel’s announcement. The story of how this humble home was miraculously transported from Nazareth to Loreto in the 13th century adds a sense of wonder and faith to the site. Inside the beautiful basilica that protects it, I felt a profound peace and connection to centuries of devotion.

Deeply religious experience. The crusaders moved Mary's house (the part that was built outside of the grotto) to Loreto, Italy. It's amazing.

Beautiful square with the 1614 fountain and the basilica which houses what is believed to be the house of Saint Mary, mother of Jesus, in Nazareth. Masses are held several times a day; a good time for a tourist visit might be between 12:30 and 5:00 PM. Parking lots outside the walls are charged from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm € 1.40/hour € 10 all day, a short distance away there are also large parking lots both free and charged. Toilets € 0.50 at the small gardens behind the square. If you limit yourself to this and to walking along the main street with the businesses, the visit can take an hour and a half. There is also more to see and the visit can take up the whole day. The Museo Pontificio Della Santa Casa € 8 and the patrol walkways € 5 these only with guided tour ( 5 per day the first at 10) their cumulative ticket € 10. "Porta della Marina" from 1534, near has the panoramic terrace, the small park of remembrance, the“holy staircase” of 400 steps and the Polish war cemetery. Free admission for the permanent mechanical nativity scene 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2:30-7:30 p.m. and the small air force museum from July to September daily 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m., an airplane of the “Frecce Tricolori,” is exhibited outside the “round tower” . The Roman Gate of 1590, near the civic tower of the 17th, and of course you can also walk all the way around the defensive walls. According to tradition, in 1291, angels transported three walls of Our Lady's house from the cave in Nazareth, to which it was connected by the fourth wall, to the town of Rijeka in Croatia. They then moved it to the vicinity of Ancona. After 9 months, another transfer took place, this time to Porto Recanati on the property of a noblewoman named “Loreta”. After her name, the statue on display in the house was called “Madonna di Loreta” or “Vergine Lauretana”, but it burned down in a fire in 1921 and the statue on display today is a copy from 1922. Again the angels, after 8 months, moved the house to another private property, but in 1294 they lifted it into the air again, finally depositing it on the top of a hill, and the shrine and city of Loreto was founded around it. According to another, more historical version, it was the Crusaders, nearing defeat in the Last Crusade, who dismantled the house. The transport to Italy from Palestine was carried out by the "Angeli" family, a real Italian surname, and over the years this gave rise to a misunderstanding that confused them with heavenly angels. Having become a pilgrimage destination in 1468, work began on the construction of the basilica. In the 16th century Donato Bramante created the fine marble facing that covers the outer walls of the “Holy House". The city's mighty city walls were built between 1518 and 1522 to resist possible attacks by the Turks who landed on the coasts plundering the villages, an earlier wall from 1315 defended pilgrims and their donations from bandits. The basilica''s exterior was completed in 1587 while work on the interior decorations ended a few years later.

A very special place, peaceful, where can you find yourself

A holy place. Some say it's second holyplace for Christianity after Vatican . There you can see the house where the mother Mary was born. ( that house bring by angels from jerusalem to italy . ) 27-05-2025

Wonderful basilica. Nice little town, small city center. Worth a visit.

Nice place with a tour that takes you through the rooms where Giacomo Leopardi lived and studied. My experience was a bit ruined by a young boy, a visitor, who told me off while trying to take photos. Photos are permitted everywhere on the site.

It's lovely to explore the house and learn about the family and societal structure of the time. And, of course, its the perfect place if you want to learn about Leopardi's genius intellect and different perspectives.

Casa Leopardi is a deeply moving and beautifully preserved glimpse into the life of the great poet… its historic library, intimate rooms, and family atmosphere bring Leopardi’s world vibrantly to life.

Of all the things suggested in the ticket the house itself with the library is the only one worth visiting. However you cannot take pictures there which is a bit of a shame nowadays

There is not much to add: if you are in Recanati (or just visiting the Marche countryside), you can't forget to pay a visit to Giacomo's house. The biblioteca is an amazing travel back in time and the place where his poetry is born. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend to visit this “museum house” if you know a little of Italian literature and if in the area

A historical house of the big poet Giacomo Leopardi where lived and start write the firsts poems....

The room is in a busy street with constant noise and poor insulation. I was frequently awaken by loud people passing by and there was a garbage truck that seemed to be collecting trash from late hours until early morning, right in front of the building. The included breakfast is actually a voucher for one drink and one pastry piece in a nearby bistro.

The room is nice but I would recommend some more attention to the accuracy of the finishing and a little more to the cleanliness of the room. I would also like to point out that my room was adjacent to another and communicating with a door (locked of course) but with simple noises or chatter, there was no privacy (especially at night or in the silence of the early morning). Breakfast included which is consumed at a partner bar. I can't give information on this because I didn't use the breakfast voucher.

a classic tourist trap. The food is like the art: mediocre. To avoid

It’s hard to have a bad meal in Italy and fairly easy to have a great one. However our two plates were exceptional: cappellacci del papà (veal ravioli in butter tartufo sauce) and paccheri Baldoni (tomato bacala sugo). The outdoor terrazza, it’s view, the service and on a Monday evening in a delightful old center of town, Grottammare, all made for a wonderful occasion.

Impressive comfortable location. Refined cuisine though the menu should need reorganizing for better clarity. Service is speedy and friendly, but not too professional: in particular, welcoming guests needs better organization. Prices are moderate.

amazing view. super slow and a bit unpleasant service. food was ok overall. pasta dishes the best. fritti and meat average. desert mixed. overall for a view try a stroll instead.

Nice place to lunch at nice weather - relaxed atmosphere, food is delicious, service is not fast (they were busy at Sunday), but friendly, wine and food is at reasonable price for that location.

A beautiful place that I have known for many years. Two things are impressive: the service and the location of the terrace. The wine list is comprehensive enough and the food is good. Of note, tortellini with veal and truffles. Reasonable prices. In conclusion, a place worth visiting by any tourist in the area.

Cozy place for a typical " Italian aperitivo". Better during spring and summer periods.

It was an interesting sight, few tourists in the middle of the day. I would also recommend visiting the small town located at the foot of the fortress.

This is a must visit if youre in the area. Built in the 1500 with its impressive coral stone walls. The village below was built in the 1700. People still live there. Amazing how people survive in areas like this 3000 feet in the mountains ⛰️

Beautiful old city with narrow streets. Some constructionwork, after earthquake i guess. A castle on top of city where you can visit. Spectacular view from city over the surrounding areas.

It's beautiful and spiritual, magical with all the Christmas and New Year lightings. The Christmas Nativity displays all over the town were very inspiring.

It's a very nice place to visit with amazing views (mountains till the sea). The city is free and you can go to the "narrowest street in Italy" but look at the map or ask someone to don't miss it! In my opinion don't worth to pay extra to see the museum (Jan/2023). The shops were closed when I got there, so my advice is to take your own snacks with you.

If you're interested in history of fortresses it's a must see. If not, going there is a waste of time in my opinion. The way to the hill is not in a very good condition. But you can take there nice photos. 😊

At the moment most of place under renovation. But anyway it a place you have to visit. Amazing view, interesting expozition, nice muzeum.

The best !!!

The lake is gorgeous, but there is almost no possibility to swim and very few cafe’s and restaurants. We were there mid June and almost everything was closed.

Lovely place

Yes you can swim here and at many places. I did

Peaceful, serene, cool, picturesque, spacious....all adjectives that I would apply to this beautiful piece of God's earth!!!! Try it, you may love it!!!

Very nice

Nice artificial lake with turquoise water, though swimming might be somewhat troublesome. No good access and water is dirty. There are a couple of places for barbecue which is one of the most attractive activities there.

Good experience nice cheap camp place with nice beach and bar, amazing place for hiking and biking easy to reach from Rome

It's too long to wait in the queue. A lot of people and it could be opened more entering doors. Good area with tables where you can eat your own food or to buy food there. Less stars because of dangerous slides, there are rough places between slides and pool,so it can easily harm you. Don't use bracelets, watches, or sunglasses ,it is easy to lose on slides. Be careful in the pool with flow. There are bayonets at the bottom of the pool.

The park was very clean. They had a lot of staff. Was not busy during the week. The slides are great. But, kids were fighting in the pool and lifeguards did not pay attention to stop them. Recommend buying tickets in advance if you can. We had trouble with the website due to having US phone numbers for the verification. Line in the morning for tickets wasn't bad though.

Great waterparks, some cool waterslides also for small kids. At the end of June there were almost no people there. There is room for improvement in the food.

Amazing place to visit. Plenty to do for kids of all ages. Only flow is that a blue slide has only a few donuts and queue for them is for hours. Some other slides with donuts have limited amount too and you need to wait.

Just awesome place! Lovely for both - kids and adults. We arived after 14:00, so the tickets were cheaper than regular (18eur/person). Very friendly staff. Our recommendations to visit this place.

Clean, tidy equipment. Polite helpful staff - could smile a bit more. Somewhat pricey, but expected. Great for families, especially if more than one adult to share the load and get some relaxation times. I wish smoking policy was as strongly enforced as the swimming cap policy. Despite a clearly designated area, adults seem happy to expose other peoples children to second hand smoke. Onda Blu could do this better. Maybe a few whistles in the direction of these rogue smokers would help.

I went a couple days ago and it was great, I asked a lifeguard and there was about 500 people and it looked empty, short queues and great rides.You should definitely go

Our 3-year old loved it. For those who believe what others say or claim, count the heads...... 😉 But yes, worth a little stop...

beautiful place, expect a steep return to the centre. very quiet!

We had this quirky but important historical "fountain" to ourselves for 20 minutes. No other visitors. I found it far more fascinating than the Trevi in Rome 2 days earlier. Total contrast. You can touch this one without being arrested!

Amazing museum! The staff was pleasant trying to answer all our questions in English. You have all kinds of written details next to the máster pieces. What a treat!!!

It is one of the main landmarks of L'Aquila. This monument has the shape of a square with 99 little fountains around the border. It is located at the beginning of Via Borgo Rivera, close to Porta Rivera. In front of this fountain, there are the church of San Vito Alla Rivera, and the museum MUNDA.

a very unic place, don't expect a water show, it's much more ancient and mysthic

Beautiful medieval fountain on a little square. It is a symbol of L'Aquila city. The sound of the water feels refreshing in the hot summer days.

Beautiful walk up, although it can be quite a strenuous hike, there is an easy path once you're close, but it's a long long way up (1300m+) Altitude. Once you get to the castle though it's fantastic, beautiful views over surrounding villages and mountains, the castle itself is free to enter and has a viewing point at the top. I really recommend you drive up and park at some of the small designated parking areas, about a 2k hike from there once parked.

A must visit if in the area. Extremely cool castle you can go inside. Also a nice church. Park at the very end of the road and it’s. 15 minute hike up to the castle

Rocco Calascio is such a special place. The views are breathtaking and the walk to the site is fun but not too challenging. We went around sunset on a late spring eve and it was amazing. This moment will stay with me forever.

A day trip to Rocca Calascio followed by Campo Imperatore is easily manageable and absolutely worthwhile. I recommend heading up early on a weekday to avoid crowds, especially when visiting the castle. The main challenge is parking—spaces near the top are limited, and the narrow road can quickly become congested with two-way traffic. There is parking in the lower village, but be prepared for a steep uphill hike if you start from there. From the upper parking area, the walk to the castle is relatively gentle with a couple of easy paths, though the final stretch is rocky. The panoramic views from the top are stunning, and several hiking trails extend out into the surrounding hills. Entry to the castle is free, though donations are appreciated. Just below the castle, in the upper village, you’ll find a couple of small bars, cafés, and shops, along with a public toilet (50 cents, honesty box). Overall, it’s a fantastic outing—beautiful, atmospheric, and highly recommended.

Fantastic place to visit Once in a life time memory Need to hike up n down a bit but kids can do it n hv traffic control until 7pm so after u can drive up , before is only walking or bus

Nice hike with great views from the top. Totally worth the climb. It’s free to visit.

Beautiful walk till the castle if you take the long route.

A Peaceful and Spiritual Hidden Gem! The Shrine of the Sacred Cave of St. Benedict is a truly special and serene place, nestled in the mountains of Subiaco. This historic monastery, built into the rock, is where St. Benedict lived as a hermit before founding the Benedictine Order. The architecture and frescoes inside are breathtaking, with beautiful medieval paintings that tell the story of St. Benedict’s life. The peaceful surroundings and stunning views of the valley make this an ideal place for reflection and prayer. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but absolutely worth the visit for those interested in history, spirituality, or simply looking for a quiet retreat away from the crowds. Highly recommended! 🙏✨🏛️

Fantastic experience. A very nice young American in the shop gave us a tour. Such a great place. So glad we made the drive from Rome.

Visit when Pilgrim Jubelium 2025, learn alot history St benedic from The Monk storytelling all history the place to Be, Very far away from big town for Tourisity,just fews Groups, Recomendation to have a Booking before visiting for Guide by the Monk, Breathtaking view,end visit at 4 so i got bright Sunshine for take a Pic

If you are looking for 1 day excursion outside of Rome, this is a perfect place! Very calm and peaceful place. Amazing Frescoes inside. Be sure to get in with the guide as they will tell you the detailed history behind this place, frescoes and every corner of this monastery. They do Italian and English guided tour. There is no entrance fee or guide fee, but be sure to leave a donation at the end of the tour :) *Due to covid you have to enter with the guide and you cannot get in to the cave and touch St.Benedict foot. There is also a lovely souvenir shop outside.

The monastery was built not any using modern technology but just by man digging against the hard rock on the mountain. A guided tour explained the real history of St. Benedict which originated from here.

Worth the visit if you're in the area. Free entry. Beautiful views and an interesting legend. Quite disturbing frescoes o_O

Worth the Journey, a hidden gem in Italy. Loved the whole experience.

The castle of XIV-XV centuries with very interesting museum inside. There is rich collection or Romanesque ecclesiastic art of Marsica worth of metropolitan museums! And only 5 euro ticket. It's easy to come here from L'Aquila by bus. Highly recommended

If travelling through Abruzzo I highly recommend Celano. Castle alone is worth the visit. Adult ticket price was 10 euros. The children were all free....(19,15 and 12)

Lovly placewith historical background and to enjoy the landscape

Very positive experience. My wife and me, we had a guided tour with Paola, who works for the MUSA Company, as a guide in the castello Puccolomini. A magic experience! We spent two extremely interesting hours, and we have learned a lot not only about the art, but much more about the history of the Fucino area: a jump in the past centuries, with Paola who kindly, patiently and empatically, answered to all of our questions, and much more. A real and very nice surprise. We hope we can come back soon!

It's amazing ancient castle and you can find a lot of different historic buildings and status! I really enjoyed spending time there and the museum was very nice and they were friendly and very helpful to guide us, you can see in my pictures, it show you history, it has huge parking place! Streets are little tight but you can drive till in front of the main gate of the castle, thank you

Worth a visit if you're in town. Lots of great history, tickets includes a visit to the museum inside the castle, great views of surrounding areas!

Great visit with 6 rooms exhibiting Roman art through the ages with paintings , facades, doors, wooden sculptures. As always with these old Castles, wish we could see much more of what’s insiders

Must visit! By far the most spectacular views over the 16km length of beach Pescara has to offer! I didn’t manage to catch the sunset, however, still amazed with the beauty of the bridge! Next time I’ll go earlier and get the best of both views!

I recommend to visit this iconic spot before the sunset. It’s a wonderful place for a walk, to take photos, or simply enjoy the scenery. It is the largest bicycle-pedestrian bridge in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. The architecture is modern and impressive. The views from the top are truly beautiful. You can see both the sea and the city.

Visually it's a very cool looking bridge that gives a great view of the canal and surrounding area.

Very nice to walk to the city center of Pescara

Nice to do walking here. I think needs a quite maintenance so that t place become welcoming again to everyone. I find it Pity that there are some people like to fo vandalizing the wall and it become unattractive to the tourist.

Nice walk, lovely views

Unique construction, pedestrian and cyclist only, main Pescara attraction. Not to be missed, especially during sunset! Beautiful sea view, city view and mountain view in the distance. Also best if you run in the morning :)

AMAZING! One of a kind experience. The young man that gave us the tour spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable.

Our english guide was a blessing! We were lucky that he presented with kindness all the history and knowledge he could. The Castle was well preserved and clean..Wonderful garden, interesting story and nice/welcoming atmosphere.

The place is good, but it is too expensive. Guides are cool and they tell an interesting story about the place and the family, but it is overpriced. The issue is that the castle is private, so the price is very high and no coupon or reduction of price in general are allowed.

We had a giuded tour and it was very nice, with detailed explanations.

The castle is nice and interesting, there is an entrance fee of 12€. The issue is that the tour is available only with a guide, who speaks only Italian. Since the castle is a tourist attraction, it would be nice to have an English speaking guide.

The castle has a fascinating past, having served as an impregnable smoke-signal tower used for hundreds of years to warn Rome and central Italy of impending invasions from the south. We had a tour guide who knew the details well (though a bit stiff in her delivery). The main ediface includes the damp, tiny and windy prison cell were Pope Celestine V was imprisoned after his resignation and possibly murdered by his successor (he was 81 but too hardy and resilient for his own good, it seems). There are valuable objects inside and an impressive pensile (hanging) garden on the roof of the building. The artefacts and edifice however are poorly preserved. The rooms are chock full of objects stacked and bundled together like curios with little care for proper conservation, historical progression, lighting, or aesthetic elegance and with no visitor-oriented narrative shaping the tour itinerary. Shabby rococo and more recent kitsch items are mixed with valuable antiquities. Most rooms seem like they haven't been properly re-plastered or whitewashed since the 1980s. The library is full of badly conserved manuscripts and contains a mummified body of a child (the accompanying story is as fascinating as it is morbid). The views from the garden/roof are spectacular and the surrounding medieval town which grew around the castle is decently maintained despite severe depopulation in recent decades. Several magnificent houses are available for purchase at ridiculous prices, but would require costly restoration for the town to return to its past splendor.

How many places do you know where major personalities of their times (and of western history of the last 800 years) were held captive? This is the castle where Celestine V was in fact imprisoned after refusing his election to the papal soil. More than that, Fumone was an incredibly strategically important location that transmitted smoke signals (hence its name ‘Fumone’) to alert the Eternal city and its surrounding of invasions that regularly threatened the area. Wonderful medieval (and more ancient even) marvel, so beautiful one could decide to leave their heart here).

What can I say??? A paradise on hearth Lago di scanno is the hidden gem of Abruzzo, a place where u never want to leave but stay as long u can I love this place, is like my second home As I live out of country, every time I’m back to Italy, this is the place I must go

Lake Scanno, the largest natural lake in Abruzzo ⚓️ Lake Scanno was formed naturally following a landslide of Mount Genzana, which blocked the course of the Tasso river, flooding the surrounding valley and giving rise to the lake 🤔 Lake Scanno is surrounded by a series of mysteries and curiosities, which make this place even more suggestive. But beware not all stories are true. 💚 First of all, there is to dispel the myth that Lake Scanno has the shape of a heart. Actually that is not the case, but from some vantage points you can see it in that form. There is a path called "The Path of the Heart", after an hour of walk from the foot of the lake it will allow you to reach the most beautiful panoramic point of the lake where I am standing at. ⛪️ Along the way you will also meet the Hermitage of San't Egidio. Too bad that it was closed when I passed by. .

Relaxing- easy parking- plenty of shade

Beautiful views!!!!!

One of the best lakes in Italy. Worth the hike to take this beautiful picture

Due to Covid, everything was closed but the lake itself is beautiful

❤Beautiful view on top,❤

This place has a beautiful view of the ocean outside the window. The espresso is also great and the staff are very friendly and pleasant.

Great place for a walk with stunning views

Worth a visit. I recommend reading up on the history of the place online (a lot of info card are only in Italian), or you can use Google translate camera. Knowing the facts enriches the experience quite a bit.

A – path at the top of the gorge, on the roof. B – path at the bottom of the gorge, by the water.

It's a bit tricky to get to but worth it. According to legend, the Montagna Spaccata (cracked mountain) split in two at the moment of Christ's crucifixion.

A must if you are ever in Gaeta! Beautiful views and an incredible story behind it. If you are staying in Gaeta Medievale it is a worthwhile hike with amazing old ruins along the way. Make sure to take cash as it is free entry, but it is customary to leave an offering/donation.

what a place! as you follow this street down, you encounter some stairs, a path, rocks everywhere and you just going forwards to see what else is there for you to see! you find these imprints of some big hands on the wall where this Turk has opened the mountain and literally broken it as the legend says. you then encounter a little tiny church, a church maybe with 8-10 seats , so small but yet so cool to then walking up the stairs you find yourself located on top of this tiny church and you look down and all you see is blue! a blue so nice and clear but yet so deep to where it is completely incredible and a mesmerizing! completely suggest to go here to anyone if they can!!

Let me start by saying we stood in a very long queue on Sunday 28 July 2024 in a blistering heat with 4 kids ... eventually, we could pay ...its not cheap either... got in the park and very quickly saw that some of the slides were out of order or broken all together... After queuing again to get onto a slide and going down, I noticed that it was well worn out through time... I think the park was built in 1991 and nothing has been renewed since then .... I sat near the restaurant where I was continually annoyed by ants 🐜... I spent 102€ to get in ....I only stayed for the kids ... if it was up to me alone, I would have asked for my money back and left straight away ...basically I can't recommend a visit unless you want to give you hard earned money away for a broken down old and ruined water park.

The park has a variety of rides and pools, but most of them are for smaller kids. The most spectacular ride seemed to be closed permanently. The Kamikaze is for 16+. Generally, the park is run down. The rides closed for siesta at 1pm! Not OK in a water park, especially when you pay for a whole day. Bring your own lunch. There are a couple of bars with pastery and snacks, but the restaurant was closed. You pay 5 euro for parking!

Very friendly staff but the park is OLD and in need of a renovation. I understand it’s difficult these days but you will be very disappointed if you expect a top of the line water park. Sorry Ditellandia but you really need a lot of renovations..

Good morning beautiful

💐💐

It is a beautiful and comfortable place both for families and for children.

They have enough parking space. Only thing is games are not enough. There are limited games available in there.

Very cute park, not huge but big enough to spend an afternoon, it's not crowded on weekends. There is a restaurant, a bar and you are able to rent a canoe for 2 people for 12 Eur (30 mins) . The water is very clear but you cannot swim in it. Altogether a nice stop, there is a pic nic area and the entrance to the park it's free

This is a very relaxing and amazing place. The river has bright and amazing colours. It is not allowed to swim into the river. However you can hire a canoa. During the weekend it is pretty full of people.

Super crowded place, pretty uncomfortable, annoying constant noise from parrots and smoke from barbecues all around. Definitely not recommended, especially if long drive. Parking is a mess also.

Great time with friends drinking, eating and doing all available activities. We went canoeing, horseriding and made good use of the bbq.

The park was really beautiful, there are so many things to do such as canoeing, bbq, having a picnic and playing in the park. There is also a restaurant and a bar. There are many animals, plants and trees; it was really clean and lovely. It is great for family and couples

Perfect for a day out in nature but close to towns. Equipped with bbqs outdoor, the restaurant is also very good

Nice park. Lots of different wildlife. Plenty of shade. Many different BBQ Areas. Kayaking. The water is always cool... Some muskrats moved in recently. The restaurant is also good.

I think it’s one of Italy’s hidden gems. Such a lovely place with marvelous architecture and a beautiful garden. However, I believe it deserves more care and attention—the garden could be even more stunning than it currently is. The entrance ticket to the palace was €12 as of September 2025, with the last entry at 6 PM. After 5 PM, the fee is reduced to €5. The garden has a separate entrance fee of €3 and remains open until 7:30 PM. I highly recommend visiting this palace. It’s truly worth it!

I can't recommend it enough, it's astonishing. If I was to go back I'd visit the palace one day and the gardens another. I spent a whole day from 8:30 am to 4pm and I could have easily spent a few more hours just walking around soaking the beauty of the place, but I was tired and I had to get the bus back.

The Royal Palace of Caserta is a stunning 18th-century masterpiece, rivaling Versailles in scale and elegance. Designed by Luigi Vanvitelli for the Bourbon kings of Naples, it features lavish interiors, grand staircases, and expansive gardens with fountains and sculptures. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it offers a majestic glimpse into royal opulence and Italian artistry.

A magnificent place that truly impresses with its scale and beauty! 🏛️ The palace resembles Versailles but with its own Italian charm — vast halls, marble staircases, frescoed ceilings, and beautifully preserved 18th-century furnishings. The park is especially breathtaking — an endless alley with fountains, cascades, and statues stretching for several kilometers. It’s best to allow at least 3–4 hours for a walk, and if you plan to reach the Grand Waterfall on foot, reserve the whole day. You can rent an electric cart or a bike, and if you’re visiting with a group, it’s convenient to take a small shuttle bus — just €5 per person. 🎟️ It’s best to buy tickets online to avoid queues. ☕ At the very end of the park, near the waterfall, there’s a cozy café where you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine and relax after the walk. 📷 It’s also one of the most picturesque places in Campania for photography. Overall — an absolute must-visit if you’re in Naples or nearby. Historical grandeur, natural beauty, and a true sense of the past — all in one place. ⭐ Rating: 5/5

Grandiose structure (mostly empty) but the royal chambers (Piano nobile) are quite extensive and richly decorated and elegantly furnished. I enjoyed a 90 minute very informative guided tour in Italian (unfortunately with an excessive amount of Bourbon-era nostalgia... and no critical comment on the social costs of such bombastic projects and the sociopolitical effects of spatial distancing of royalty from the common folk in a guilded playground). I found this Reggia more elegant and pretty than the Quirinal and some other palaces in Italy (laden with austere or disproportionate displays of Baroque or mismatched styles or unfinished or unrestored works). Many similar palaces in Germany and Austria are however more elegant and aesthetically pleasing (they have also been restored to a supreme level of splendor and decadence by exceedingly generous government allocations in recent years). What recent administrations have done to restore the Reggia after decades of neglect is surely remarkable. The mixture of contemporary art with the original museum exhibits (after COVID) is not always very convincing: some combinations work fine but in other cases there is no real dialogue between works of art (the contemporary pieces - of differing quality and from a single collection linked to a recent natural disaster - seem put there very jarringly simply to respect the conditions of the donation, i.e. that they reach the widest public possible, and little concern for the dignity and harmony of the rooms' decor). Some works would work better in the empty exhibition spaces of the palace (even with baroque and neoclassical works included for comparison). But then you if you expand the exhibition spaces, you need to keep visitors there the whole day to visit the royal chambers and the rest of the museum. So you would need to attract families with children (with some technology exhibits, children's areas, etc.) and full day visitors (with a food court, performances in the gardens, picknic areas, horse riding...). I hope the site continues to develop into a mature and diversified tourist venue.

Not just a must see, an amazing experience! One of the most beautiful gardens i ve ever been in my life! You should definetely go there. You can skip the palace, its just another palace, but you should get to the garden! We ve made the one way on foot, and we came back with the bus. Its a reaaaaly long distance, so i would suggest you to rent a bicycle. it would be much more pleasant. If you get there at its opening time, you will have the garden for yourself!!!

The Royal Palace of Caserta is truly breathtaking. Built in the 18th century for the Bourbon kings and designed by Luigi Vanvitelli, it was meant to rival Versailles and you can really feel it. The rooms are grand and elegant, the monumental staircase is stunning, and the huge gardens with fountains and long water basins are spectacular. The history behind it, from its royal origins to its UNESCO recognition, makes the visit even more meaningful. Absolutely worth seeing if you’re in Campania!!!

While the beauty and care with which the gardens have been cultivated are truly admirable, my visit was unfortunately overshadowed by the fact that smoking is permitted within the grounds. Allowing visitors to smoke in such a serene, carefully preserved natural environment is not only detrimental to the air quality and atmosphere but also deeply detracts from the experience for those who come seeking peace, beauty, and inspiration. The gardens, created over many years with such dedication and vision, deserve to be enjoyed in a setting that respects their tranquility and ecological integrity. Sadly, the presence of cigarette smoke made it difficult to fully appreciate the space and ambiance that Sir William Walton and Lady Susana Walton so lovingly brought to life. I strongly urge the Foundation to reconsider its policy on smoking within the gardens. Implementing a non-smoking rule would preserve the healthful environment, enhance the experience for all visitors, and align more closely with the spirit of harmony and reflection that La Mortella was clearly intended to embody.

Gorgeous gardens (ticket 12 €), quite large, so you will spend some time here. There is even a small cafe bar with some food right under the Greek theater (you can also find toilets here, next to the theater). We also caught the concert in the evening from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM and the ticket cost only 8 €. Fallowing the song for parking and ticket office if you are by car (around 1 km from down, another entrance by foot).

This is a must-visit-place if you visit Ischia! The place is incredible, and there's so many wonderful, beautiful and unique places. Make sure to have plenty of time, and it is a big garden and theres quite a lot of walking, paths up and down, elevations and stairs. At the very top and bottom, trees offer you a bit of shade and fresh air. The the levels in between, the sun and stairs can make it an incredibly warm experience. Make sure to bring water and something for your blood sugar if it is a very warm day. The place is relatively easy to reach by public transportation. Parking is a bit more tricky, however if you enjoy a slightly challenging drive on small roads there's a small parking lot at the very top of the garden.

If you’ve visited botanical gardens in other major cities (500,000+ population), this one won’t surprise you — it’s pleasant, but quite standard. Plan for about an hour to see everything. One important tip: there are a lot of tiger mosquitoes here. If you’re not familiar with them, look them up and make sure to bring repellent — it will make your visit much more enjoyable.

Beautiful environment, full of different plant species. 🌿 Highly recommend getting tickets for the concert they host it’s an amazing experience with incredible views! 🎶✨

A stunning set of gardens. Tranquil and inspiring. We also enjoyed an outdoor concert one evening whichbwas also a joy with all the scent from the garden mixing in with the frogs chorus from the ponds. Cant recommend more highly. Wegot there for when it opened at 9 as it was cooler and less busy.

Definitely worth the price and super nice to get some shade in there when it's super hot outside. Make sure to keep in mind the guided tour groups that might arrive on the daily around 10:30-11-30am

We went on 1st of January and it was closed but on the website was saying it’s open so was on google we drove and found this disappointing. We then visited on the 3rd and it was great not busy and very few people. Decent prices in many shops. Bars and restaurants are quite good. Everywhere it’s clean and well maintained. Good place with many unusual and different brands.

Great Outlet with a good choice of shops. It’s dog friendly with a little fountain where they can drink. It has a good amount of benches around so you can sit down a little whenever you want.

✅ One of the great place for shopping and a delightful stroll. 😉 Some advice: ➡️ Don't miss the Jack & Jones store. 👍 Really nice, high-quality clothes at a reasonable price. 🛍👟Happy shopping and a lovely walk through the shopping town for everyone🤗

A very beautiful and relaxing place. The shop are nice and have good prices. Also the place is very clean and cosy. Would absolutely visit there again.

This is what happens in La Reggia Outlet, in their parking lot. "Security" lets thieves know of foreign cars that can be robbed and then refuses to call the Police. They claim this is the Outlet's policy. They see the robbers and let them go. In just one car shop in Napoli were four other foreign cars, the same modus operandi. At midday, with other cars parked around. This is not possible in a civilized country, my kids were shocked. DO NOT SHOP HERE!

It's a good place for shopping and spending time. Parking is more or less available, and there are a few restaurants and coffee shops inside the mall itself, which is quite large. There are different brands in this complex, and the prices are much lower than in other places.

A great place to walk around and shop outdoors (perfect for COVID times). The prices are better than in the cities, but not that incredible. The dining options are limited, so if you're hungry and picky, make sure you eat before your visit. Parking was free, which is nice.

I loved the beach and had a wonderful day. The only problem is that the black sand is very beautiful, but I ended up burning my feet a bit underneath 😂😂 but I recommend it.

Lovely beach for snorkeling and relaxing! We saw lots of small fish and even a black and yellow moray eel. In some areas you can see the CO2 bubbles coming up to the surface! There was a bit of trash though… a beach cleanup would be appreciated! Don’t forget to take your trash with you!

One of the best places on the earth, I can say.. I went early morning in a "bad weather " and it was amazingly beautiful with almost no one around.. I went again to enjoy the sunset as well.. a must visit place!

By far the best beach on the island. The lounger are also reasonably priced for the day and the facilities are great. The water and beach is additionally spotless. Overall, dreamy.

Lovely place, but It's a shame that there are not enough free beaches. For a single day at the beach you have to spend at least: - 10€ for parking; - 25€ for two deck chairs and a beach umbrella.

Hiked here from Sant'Angelo. Well-marked trail starts near the arch at the entrance to town. Passes Fumarole Beach, then a climb with some dirt trails. Lots of options to beach, refresh, or eat at Maronti. I took the water taxi back to Sant'Angelo. Lots of fun and a must for Elena Ferrante fans

From far it's looking beautiful. But from near, you can see the dirt inside the water. We walk along the beach but it doesn't get better. I think, the fishermans throw to much inside the water and it ends up to the beach. Not worth to visit!
