Very difficult to get to if you don’t have a car. We had to walk from the public bus stop in the next town 3 km away. When arriving it is another 6 km to walk or pay 10 euros per person for their shuttle bus. We booked an umbrella but were told where to sit - right in front of the lifeguard (looked like he was 14 years old!). We thus had to do without the umbrella and got cooked in order to sit where we wanted! Water was nice but the day was roasting and consequently very hot under foot. Beaches fairly crowded even though they are supposed to limit numbers!?! All in all would not recommend the place. There are other great beaches in the area that won’t cost you that much to enjoy a holiday in Sardinia.

What the website doesn’t say : Travelling by car you need to book a parking spot in advance which is often sold out. BUT if you come by 8am and not a minute later : every day there are a few spare parking spots available. Arriving between 9-11am : ask for the navetta or bus transfer service. You can park your car at a designated area, 10! Euro for return ticket. Beach number 2 is the most beautiful and comfortable one. Amazing really amazing aquamarine colour water. No crowds. Never. Best beach in the area. Absolutely.

Very beautiful spot and not overly crowded. Water was amazing as well and good for snorkeling. Parking is a bit tricky as they’re not many spots but you can also just park on the side of the road

Oasis 2 beautiful beach, white sand, and crystal clear water. Make sure you have cash for the snack bar and you have to pay for the entrance

A beautiful, quiet beach. There was a lifeguard on duty. The beach was gently sloped so it was good for little kids. I wish that we'd visited earlier in the week because there were some great hikes. When we were there there were more waves than at other beaches we'd visited. Definitely worth the visit?

Beautiful beach, they have chairs and umbrellas you can rent for the day. If you plan to drive make sure you reserve parking in advance.

Beautiful!. It is a clean place where you can swim with your child and being in contact with the nature.

Spacious beach with soft white sand and clear water. In summer crowded. Parking space available. Pretty expensive for beach in the middle of nowhere - 12€/day or 2.50€/hour (summer 2025)

Beautiful beach - super long, water of a color that's so unique to this place, amazing quality sand. Large parking (12€ for a full day), free toilet, and lots of place for everyone to not feel crammed. Definite recommendation!

This beach is just amazing. The scenery is beautiful and most importantly there is plenty of space if you don’t stop at the entrance. You can just walk to the left from the parking (which costs 12 euros for an entire day or 8 for half a day) and walk until the rocks before the next beach starts.

One of my favourite beaches! Lots of space, crystal sea , white sand . There are showers, toilets and a pizza place Also a bar with coffee drinks etc And many shops around For families with kids is perfect as sea is not deep so children can play safe Spacious parking€12 full day Not bad

Great beach – on this trip to Sardinia, coming from the north after the ferry, this was our first stop before Orosei and it turned out to be a perfect choice. Large parking area with fairly reasonable prices, and the beach itself is excellent. The entry into the water is very gentle, and although it wasn’t record-level clear that day because of some floating plants, the water was still, as always in Sardinia, absolutely amazing. Right by the beach you’ll find bars, a larger restaurant, and some stalls selling beach gear and souvenirs. There’s even a decent little shop with women’s beachwear. The sand is soft and pleasant, and that typical Sardinian breeze makes the heat much more bearable and the whole stay very comfortable. As for getting there – the access isn’t nearly as bad as some reviews make it sound. It’s just a gravel road, perfectly manageable even with a small, low car. The road isn’t particularly bumpy, no huge holes, and you don’t need a high suspension vehicle to get here.

Beautiful beach but crowded. If you want to be away from most people you need to walk to the far end where most don't go. The sea is shallow for the first hundred meters or more. White sand everywhere but if you go from the common area be careful where you walk because in some places there are spiky leaves on the ground.

Huge, there is no cell signal you have wifi that you can pay by card on the beach. We didn’t see any cows. Theres a shower and two places to grab a drink and bite.

You only have to buy a ticket to access the beach in the summer, we went in mid-may and didnt have to. Only the parking was paid. There is access to spiaggia impostu and brandici from the same parking lot and surprisingly they are quite different. Brandicci had more shallow waters so you could walk fairly ahead with the water still being knee level. There is a small shed to change and use the toilet in brandicci. The water was really calm when we went.

The beach is nothing like it is presented in the photos. The water has a lot of algae and rocks, and the seabed is not entirely fine sand as shown. On the shore, there are many branches and trash, which makes it less enjoyable than expected.

An ok beach but definitely nothing special. Wouldn't go through all the online booking and parking for the second time

Really nice beach. Visited June 2025. All the main services available (parking, umbrellas/sunbeds, cafe, toilets)

Very beautiful beach with crystal clear water! Showers at the entrance is a bonus !

Oh noo do not believe in turistical websites and comments admiering this beach! This is a joke! Crowded absolutely nothing special. If you need my advise you can find much nicer, cleaner beautiful beaches for free where are less people even nearby!! This shows how much people believe to info shared on web or social media. You know what??! COME HERE, pay for booking and leave my loved wonderful places empty for me!😁

Stunning beach book online 2 days before entering, if you can get a qr code, only 1600 places.

really beautiful beach, I see what all the hype is about as the sand is white and water is clear. however, given you have to pay for both entry and parking, in my opinion the coast has nicer beaches that are less crowded. still worth the experience

Beautiful water, wonderful view, €2/person for entry, so many people and the beach/sand area is quite narrow. No regular towels are allowed. Only microfiber, plastic or polyester picnic blankets or reed mats. The beach police will 100% check what you laying on because you cannot take sand out of the beach. Very strict rules. Basic restaurant on site, and the GPS had a very hard time to find the main entrance. You need to look for a huge rock on the side of the road saying Cala Brandinchi

It’s the 3rd time for us visiting this beach, after 2020 and 2023 and we loved it this time even more. It is just a beautiful setting. Yes it is crowded, yes it is expensive but you know this already by the need for a reservation. My advice is to go early (preferably before 10) and walk north and you won’t have a problem in finding a spot.

Good for kids as the water is shallow but gets busy because of that. Is a private beach so you have to pay 2 euros per person and parking is 2.50 euros per hour but is worth itm

Really nice beach. Most often packed. Limit is around 1470 people. Almost 400 to much. Come early, really early. After 12 its hard to find a spot for towels.

Beautiful beach with ample parking. We entered through Giardini. Make sure you make reservations in advance!

Ah, Cala Brandinchi – affectionately known as Little Tahiti, though I suspect Tahiti might file a defamation claim if it saw the place this summer. Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the sheer vibrancy of the beach. Not the turquoise water or the golden sand, mind you, but the dazzling array of umbrellas, inflatable flamingos, and the occasional elbow to the ribs. It’s a rare talent to make one feel nostalgic for the peaceful serenity of a rush-hour subway in Milan. The beach itself is… how shall I put it… rich in texture. Every few meters you’ll find delightful surprises: an empty plastic bottle here, a half-buried chip bag there. It’s almost like a scavenger hunt curated by Poseidon himself. For marine life enthusiasts, this is the place to be. Forget aquariums — here, you can witness the majestic Sardinian shark (photographic evidence included). Truly thrilling, especially when one is still in the water. As evening approached, I discovered that leaving the beach with one’s dog can be quite an odyssey. Between the labyrinth of sunbeds and the scent of melted sunscreen, one wonders if Odysseus himself ever tried to find his way back to the car park. And let us not forget the mysterious sea creature that emerged from the depths — an elderly gentleman dressed as a mermaid. I can’t say whether he was a local legend or a performance artist, but I do applaud his commitment to aquatic authenticity. All in all, Cala Brandinchi is the perfect destination for those who enjoy chaos with a touch of mythology. Come for the crowd, stay for the confusion. Five stars for entertainment, two for actual relaxation.

A wonderful place to visit with a low draft sailing boat. The permit cost is 40% cheaper for sailing boats, which is logical and we appreciate that. Powerboats are noisy and generate pollution. The park has hundreds of places where to anchor, pristine and ecologically sound. The park authorities obviously do a good job!

After spending some days at Capo Testa, where we enjoyed snorkeling and discovering a reach underwater life, we decided to take a boat trip to the Maddalena National Park. We were full of expectation, thinking how wonderful it may be snorkeling there. Sailing with the wind in a small crew was a good start, but the the stop at the first cove was very disappointing: we were expected to swim between moving boats, so we risked to see nothing, life under water almost not existing. We were told that since it is September now there is less nautic trafic, but we witnessed every kind of boats coming from all directions and very close to the coves. We anchored in a more quiet and less touristic cove but again underwater life very poor. The day was at the end pleasant because of sailing and a nice skipper and the visit to the Cala Rosa, which is really protected, but we understood that the National Park is not a place to protect nature rather it is a place to make money, a LunaPark for reach tourist. I hope things will change and more ecologic tourism, which still advantage local people, will develop. Instead of taking a boat trip, please look for nice caves along the cost and you will have more fun and save money!😊

Beautiful landscape. Best is island Caprera which is connected to La Maddalena with a bridge. You can do nice walks in the national park.

Extremely clear and turquoise water. It's good to rent a pneumatic boat alone around 270 euros / day in August. From Palau you can walk about an hour to the interesting beaches and the pool area

Just Outstanding. We ALL have to protect these places. Some Plastic Pollution also here, but engaged local People to Clean it!

Beautiful clear water, blue skies almost every day, honestly a perfect place to go on vacation and relax

It is definitely a must see in Sardinia. You need to take a ferry from Palau, but it's absolutely worthy. Beautiful crystal water and sandy beaches

We enjoy this beach. It is on the smaller side paying parking lot walking distance. We were here before the summer not as crowded. Beautiful clear water, there is a beach club walking distance for drinks food and more $$$-$$$$. If you need to use the restroom they do charge $1 Euro for to use it unless you eat at the drink bar or rent the lounge and umbrellas. This beach is good for couples, somewhat families with older children. The only downside the constant annoyance of beach sellers.

Amazing water for snorkeling and swimming; gets busy and crowded very quickly. The Best time is early morning. Parking is not too big, so if you come after 9.30, you might not find a car parking space. There is a small beach on the left hand side and two beaches on the opposite side. It’s very nice and definitely worth visiting!

Visited in october, after 5 p.m. so we found the place to park the car (first hour is ~2.55€/h) the beach is small but cozy, smooth sand and clear water

Beautiful beach that can get crowded fast since there are small bays. Clear and clean water, as most beaches in Sardinia. Parking nearby is 1,50€ per hour and payment is required until Oct 31st.

Really nice beach with cristal clear water and white sand. The parking is close, but small , you may find it full early in summertime

Great Beach with clear water. Only 2 min from the parking.

crowded but very very beautiful! you don’t have to reserve a spot like at other spots 🤸🏼

It was a singular place, very different from all the castles and renaissance art you may have been seeing in Italy . The garden is the creation of one artist and her vivid imagination. The sculptures are fantastic. It is a small-ish place, so you can go relax and have a good visit among these sculptures or take a 1 hour passegiatta to see them all… we had a good time walking about and taking pictures! Enjoy!

The Tarot Garden in Capalbio is a nice and magical place. The huge mosaic sculptures are full of color and character. Every corner has something surprising. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

I have waited so long to visit this place and it was so worth it! Such an amazing and inspiring place. At the entrance there are some maps where there are the names of the sculptures. My children enjoyed finding them all and they loved it.

Great stop on our way to Lucca. 1hour for the family explore the park and take pictures. Fun and dog friendly also

Stunning works of art with so many fascinating details. The artist’s story is equally captivating and adds depth to the experience. Definitely worth a visit!

Stunning art pieces and landscapes. Well worth a visit! The shop it’s also amazing and the merchandise is quite nice.

a surreal garden with giant sculptures inspired by Tarot cards (by artist Niki de Saint Phalle). A wonderful place that will transport you to a completely different world. You have to experience this!

Was our last sight seeing while staying in Rome and it was beautiful, worth seeing. Did wish we had more time to see all of it. This could easily be a WHOLE day trip with the nice beach next to it...but I would bring water shoes of you are not used to the rocks

We had the pleasure of staying here for a couple of nights and the location is an absolute treat. Moving around the premises is a little awkward as the place is a living museum and certain areas are off limits or require a ticket for access, but we managed. Nobody speaks english so you need to be pretty self sufficient. There is a common area for hotel guests with a kitchen, books, soda and coffee machines and free wifi throughout. If we ever come back here, I hope we can get a room with sea view or a balcony, but other than that the place is magical, I found it's truly worth the experience.

Nice beach, plenty of parking and easy to get to by train too

Wonderful location! You can spend sometime in the castle and also have a nice sea coast walk. A big part of the castle is free to visit. A ticket for the museums is 8 euro for adults. The museums are recommended to visit. There is an interesting private museum of alchemy in the territory of the castle (entrance and excursion is for donation). There are also hand-made masters with beautiful creations. Bar and food zone is near the castle. Also a little restaurant is nearby on the beach

A great castle right on the shore. We were surprised that this castle was more than a single building. It had an outer wall, buildings inside the wall, and then finally the large castle. We didn't stay here but I read it offers rooms to stay in for a very reasonable rate.

Is a great place for the whole family, a friendly bar for an aperitif, nice stretch of beach and beautiful castle you can visit, as an added value, if planned ahead.

A very nice journey back to Roman and Etruscian seafaring and coast line defense in the middle of Italy. Beautifully restored ancient castle on the beach for the young explorers and the history loving hearts. Hostal and little shops as well as museas inside the castle 🏰.

What a treasure! I definitely recommend this amazing museum. It probably hosts the richest collection of Etruscan art. You will dig into the past discovering their cults and their skills in working metals and rocks. The ticket (combined with the tombs is only 10 euros). The beautiful building of the museum is itself worth the price of the visit. I am not giving 5 stars because unluckily, the pieces at the museum are not well displayed. The narrative during the visit and the descriptions of the objects are missing. But worst of all, I didn’t see any indications in English. I’m saying this as an Italian, sorry but this is not acceptable in 2021!

Very good museum fast and easy. With a lot of context and informations and it shows a lot of exemples. Only big problem, there is too little of English traductions, most of it is in Italian which makes it hard to understand the history of the Étrusques without knowing Italian.

One of my favorite museums in Italy. It features a very large collection of Etruscan and Roman sarcophagi and funeral objects. Don't miss it!

Lovely ancient town. Worth a visit

This museum has a lot of finds of Etruscan civilians. It also has some greek vases. The informations are clear and it has more than one floors with expositions. It's very complete.

The artefacts are wonderful, however too little info in English, very little explanation of details in English, quite expensive. Bizarre ticket vendor at the Necropolis, verbally abusive. Necropolis =disappointing, Museum in Tarquinia =nice. Overall, disappointing, discouraging.

Very nice museum, bit be sure to first visit the burial chambers 1.5 km down the road to know where all the stuff came from

Nice. Lots of stairs. Well preserved. BUT only half of the necropolis is open to visitors due to PNRR renovation. they didn't tell us at the ticket office.

Very nicely set up situation for presenting and preserving Etruscan frescos. Half of it was closed for maintenance when we were there but what we were able to see made it well worth the trip.

Amazing Day trip from Rome with Scoot Around Rome , perfect timing, convenient best way to enjoy this and the other necropolis . Weather was amazing and we had time to see all the tombs.Very happy, a must !! thank you

Absolutely unique archaeological site. Really worth the visit. Unfortunately, around 3/4 of the site and around 2/3 of the most famous tombs (including the most famous, of the Leopards) are under renovation for “at least” more 6 months and currently not accessible. I did not find this information anywhere before driving here.

Wonderful archeological site. This was the second time I took our children here and It went really well. Children really like to check every tomb, go down the stairs, push the button that turns the light on and admire the paintings. The only thing is that this time the bar was closed but drinking water was available at the entrance.

It's a wonderful place rich in Italian history! Bravo to the Tuscany's wisdom and architecture! It will live for years and years!...earn for years and years!...be enjoyed for years and years! Glory to God, the author of all creation 🙏🙏🙏

The place is worth visiting. A green hill overlooking the fields outside the city. Filled with well preserved chambers/ tombs what are dug into the ground and "visitable". The admission which normally is just €8 for adults, was free on the 1st sunday of the month. Signs tell in italian and english the story behind each of the persons to which the tombs are devoted to. The simple architecture of the place, the scenery and the fact that a lot of work has been put in place to make this visitor friendly even for everyone make it certainly worth your time.

A glimpse to the past. A museum that contains a real jewish experience from the past days of the local jewish community. The entrance costs 5€ and you get an entrance (self guided) for ancient winery, butchery, forno, synagauge etc. Nearby there is also a convenient store with few kosher products.

What a beautiful synagogue! What a pity there is no-one to pray there, anymore. (But the ladies at the museum were very kind and they let me in whenever I wanted to.)

A museum for the history of jews in pitiligano from the 16th century. There is a winery, a kosher bakery for matzot, a synagogue, a bath (mikve) and more. Very interesting to witness.

Do not leave the shop without taking with you a Sfratto, a typical pastry with a bittersweet anecdote of the jewish community who settled in Pittigliano

great tourist attraction

(Translated by Google) Small shop in the Jewish ghetto selling typical products. I took unleavened bread, eviction and Etruscan liqueur. All delicious but the eviction in particular is amazing!!!! (Original) Negozietto nel ghetto ebraico che vende prodotti tipici. Ho preso il pane azzimo, lo sfratto ed liquore etrusco. Tutti buonissimi ma in particolare lo sfratto è da urlo!!!!

(Translated by Google) Pitigliano is an open history book. A marvel. A little gem that needs to be supported. So much history contained in so few km2 of city. It must be visited. (Original) Pitigliano é un libro di storia aperto. Una meraviglia. Un piccolo gioiello che bisogna sostenere. Tanta storia racchiusa in così pochi km2 di città. Va visitata.

100% recommend to visit. Doesn't take long and it's beautiful.

Beautiful old basilica from the 8th century. Impressive size, beautiful garden, can imagine how amazing it would be for a wedding or an event.

I loved this place, full of story and incredibly beautiful. It's a must if you are in Tuscania.

Absolutely breathtaking..unfortunate we could not go in but well worth a visit.

This is very much worth a visit!

A Real must

I didn't know much about this place and my expectations weren't high, but my family and I enjoyed it very much. The castle has a panoramic tower that has an observation view of the entire lake. If you're around - Don't hesitate.

Having visited hundreds of castles and museums this one totally blew our minds. Ten euros to get in. Use your phone to get a free video/audio guide in Italian or English or take their guided tours. And then go. Takes about 1h to 1.5 hours to visit it all but it really is spectacular and gives a real sense of what life was like. The audio guide is awesome. One tip: download the video so you can watch it on your phone as sometime you might have connectivity issues due to the thick walls. The views of the lake are also breathtaking. Wish they'd open a café on the lawn but that's just coffee addiction speaking 😂😁

Visiting Castello di Bracciano is a lovely experience, but be ready for a bit of steep walking up. After the Belvedere, you cross a small bridge and buy tickets. Tip for families: use the bathroom right after purchasing tickets! We skipped it, and when my son needed to pee mid-tour, we had to walk all the way back down to the entrance—not easy with two kids. Inside, the castle feels spacious, atmospheric, and rich in history. Don’t expect original furniture, but the recreated rooms, paintings, and especially the collection of weapons, armors, swords, and pistols kept my little one fascinated. The panoramic views from the castle are stunning and worth every step. We went on a quiet Easter Friday, with mild weather, and it was perfect—not crowded, not too hot or cold. I would recommend visiting in spring or autumn, as summer heat would make the outdoor sections uncomfortable. Overall, a beautiful visit with kids, full of history, atmosphere, and great views.

Beautiful Castle tucked away in the Italian countryside. We made this stop on our way towards Rome. We wanted to break up the trip to Rome and this stop was, so worth it. Beautiful architecture, unbelievable that we were allowed nearly everywhere inside the castle. Amazing pieces of artwork. Blows my mind the amount of history in the area.

Perched high above the tranquil waters of Lake Bracciano in Italy, castello Orsini-Odescalchi is one of the most impressive Renaissance-era castles in the country. Built in the 15th century by the powerful Orsini family, it was later inherited by the noble Odescalchi family, who still own it today. Over the centuries, it has hosted popes, kings, and generals, including Pope Sixtus IV and King Charles VIII of France. It is very well-preserved and now functions as a museum, featuring period furnishings, ancient weapons, frescoes, and artworks that offer a glimpse into noble life during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It is also a sought-after venue for high-profile weddings, famously hosting the marriage of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in 2006. Well worth a visit, €10 entrance, and an hour on the slow train from Rome.

Part of a Viking excursion. It was a beautiful castle, great view of the lake and great guide!

Great views over Lake Bracciano from above. It’s worth a visit when exploring the lake’s surroundings.

Popular on a sunny Sunday in early September with lots of people swimming and paddle boarding. Street food and Market in Anguillara. A beautiful expanse of water with no floating litter to spoil the view. Popular for pier fishing too.

A leisure walk by the lake and walk up to the top to see the full view of the city and the lake. The walk is about 15 mins. The view from the top is stunning overseeing the city and lake. Worth the effort to walk up there.

Must visit; not only for the lake but also the beautiful surroundings of the lake where you can hike or stop and eat etc. The lake itself was clean and peaceful and it’s the second largest lake in the region and one of the major lakes in Italy( it’s a volcanic lake by origin) and for the first time I saw a type of rat that I’ve never seen before there eating rice😅: Nutria (Myocastor coypus), also known as the coypu. On Fridays,you have open market very close to the lake where you buy jewelry,bags etc. You can find parking space for cars but most parkings are payment(not that much) except you park for free a little away from the lake and then take your time and walk to the lake

The scenery Is beautiful ❤️❤️

Spent a couple of hours walking along the beach and up through the town. A beautiful location on a lake in a volcanic crater. Lots to see in the area, with medieval castle Castello Orsini-Odescalchi, the ancient church of San Liberato ( from the ninth century). It was an enjoyable visit in a community just north of Rome.

If you are in rome and are looking for a quick getaway this is it! It’s such a peaceful area and the lake is great for a quick swim with the swans. Kayak is also available and you can also rent pedal boats for groups of 4 which is really cheap!

Magical place, mostly after 6pm when the sun is not so strong and the kids are gone. Good for sailing, relaxing, enjoying yourself and taking beautiful pictures.

The garden is on constructions.. It's not that clean and organized that we were expected it to be.. You have a really big potential to be an amazing place that's for now it's not like that.. We waited about half an hour to get in it because it was really windy day and they decided to open it on time.

It is still being renovated and only one fountain is working but the expected time of completion is May 2026 so, for now, the tickets have been reduced to 5 euro

Has real potential but the majority is closed for renovation which is why the ticket is reduced to 5 euros. The contractors have fenced off the majority of the garden so our visit was short. I would suggest managing expectations vs the historic photos you see. You may want to wait until the work is completed before visiting. Once the work is done I’m sure it will be fantastic

Historic place to visit and learn about Architecture and Italian architect Vignola who designed the Villa

Such a romantic garden! Admire how the fountains were arranged and manipulated to creat a beautiful landscape. The garden is not massive so it gives a very intimate and quiet atmosphere. Definitely recommend a visit in late afternoon to take advantage of the softened sunlight.

Even one star is too much. Almost everything here is closed off, but they still charge you 5€ for admission. We asked at the entrance if what was left to see was wheelchair accessible. They said that the gardens were and the buildings ground floor. A bad joke. You can't even get into the two remaining open rooms or the last open plateau in the garden, with the last water fountain. We were really looking forward to the villa, since very little in Italy is wheelchair accessible anyway. I’m just sad and disappointed.

During my recent trip to the charming town of Viterbo, I had the pleasure of exploring the renowned Renaissance garden of Villa Lante in Bagnaia. Covering an area of approximately four hectares, the garden is spread across three main terraces and is considered one of the most famous Renaissance gardens in the world. The garden's most notable feature is its unique "prospect garden" design, which creates an illusion of depth and perspective through the strategic use of fountains, water features, and architectural elements. Walking through the garden, I couldn't help but be struck by the stunning beauty of the meticulously manicured hedges, colorful flower beds, and intricate stonework. As I made my way through the garden's winding paths and hidden corners, I discovered a variety of fascinating features and surprises, including hidden grottos, whimsical sculptures, and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. It was easy to see why Villa Lante is one of the most visited attractions in Tuscia, with approximately 85,000 visitors per year. Overall, my visit to Villa Lante was a truly unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Viterbo. Whether you are an art lover, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, the garden's stunning design, intricate details, and serene ambiance are sure to leave you spellbound.

We really enjoyed our visit. Amazing sculpture work. To see the handmade works and chisel marks. The restaurant was nice, we got the steak. Very nice and very reasonable prices. There is also a cafe. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely loved every inch of this place, and well worth the admission price. A wonderful place to bring kids, and the restaurant served us the most beautiful Fillet Steak we have had in a long time. Definitely worth a trip.

Absolutely incredible! We ditched seeing Vatican City after a long road trip across Italy, found the poster on the side of the highway and decided to drop in. Tons of parking including with a camper, kind staff, clean ground incl washroom. Soo soo soo many unique neat sculptures. There's some wheelchair ramps to washrooms but not to the sites that we could find.

I really liked this exhibition, the statues were huge and mesmerizing! The tilted building was also fun! The price (13€) was a bit overpriced for the size of the park, but still I would recommend it!

Such a magical place. Its surrealist stone sculpture garden. We were there in Jan but would have been great to be in warmer weather since its located in hilly landscape with streams and grass area. We spent about 1 hr walk around. Its easy terrain for slow walk but different elevation makes the park interesting. Love the face entryway, elephant sculpture and leaning building. Will definitely watch the movie where the entire movie scene was shoot in this park.

My husband and I brought our 4 kids on a Sunday. It was great, really beautiful and interesting, and there is a picnic area as well as a playground, both are excellent features, however, it is a small park and costs a family of 6 (with 4 children aged 13 and younger) 58 euros. There is no family rate. Furthermore, according to the website this will increase in January 2026. Would I recommend, yes. Do I think it was overpriced, yes, if you just walk through and dont spend time there. However, if you spend the entire day there it seems a better price :) also no refunds for bad weather.

Small restored quirky garden of bizarre statues commissioned by a middle ages count who was a little off his rocker. Worth a side trip but a little costly.

Place is nice, we got the train tour: 15 min train tour and 15 min with virtual tour. Good atmosphere also outside the bunker with some tanks and other old war machines. What i did not like: - we got tour of 17:00, they said to arrive 5 min earlier. When we arrived the train was already went. Why? Not professional.... - the "station" has christmas lights...which is the sense? It is out of topic. - also inside the bunker there is a Christmas tree... nonsense for me

I am not happy with it, I liked the exhibit but the no taking picture rule is not acceptable. And the guides really annoying and strict about it( very rude and harsh about it) Also really didn’t like how you had to have a guide with. I really don’t like it I came from American to see amazing museum to make memories and pics and I can’t.. Very upsetting but other than that not too bad.

Amazing experience and lots of historical facts can be seen. The guide Arianna has extraordinary knowledge and sense of humour. Recommended 100%

I would say this place is unfortunately reductively interesting. What diminishes its natural historical interest are the now perplexing plywood prop, staged and commercial aspects. There is inside a mix of American, Italian and German, NATO military artifacts from World War II all the way through the 1970s. There is a “command center” that is pure fiction as well as a plywood plastered bunker gunner (copy of the real ones you might find at Normandy beaches) inside the tunnel. You have to weed out the gems of historical fact amidst what feels like an army surplus hodgepodge or science fiction film set. No photos apparently allowed inside for unknown reasons as everything is over fifty years old and decommissioned. As you’re leaving the tunnels, you are shuttled through a German style building built recently within one of the tunnels as a gift shop where they sell sweatshirts that read Bunker Sorrate in case you were confused about the theme park masquerading as history. Frankly, the most interesting part of the entire visit was the free photography exhibition of historical photographs in the visitor’s center. Your time on Sorrate is probably better spent hiking up to the top and enjoying the wonderful views over the Roman Campagna and worth checking out the various hermitages with frescos dating back to medieval times.

We were shown around this incredible structure as part of a large group during the "Bunker di Notte" event by a very knowledgeable guide, William. The tour lasted two hours, with the first section focusing on its function during the Fascist era and second world war, and the second on its use during the cold war. William really brought the history alive, and we were absolutely spellbound. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

A fascinating historical journey across different time zones. Be prepared to walk. Unsuitable for prams or buggies.

I have been there in a school trip, I really enjoyed this experience, either on the educational side and either on the exploring side. It wasn't expected a beautiful place like that inside a mountain. The guide was really clear and exhaustive, while explaining the wonderful WW2 forniture. I really recommend this trip for students, children and families.

​The Orvieto Cathedral is truly impressive. Its location on top of the hill structure naturally provides it with a well-protected position. The most striking feature is the exterior, where the gold-painted facade beautifully catches the sunset light. Inside, the sculptures and the overall aesthetic of the interior make for a very pleasant and rewarding visit.

As the most famous attraction in the city, this church is magnificent and rich in historical value. Legend has it that Michelangelo visited it in his youth to draw inspiration, which shows how profound its artistic value is. The church itself is not as magnificent as other churches in Rome, but the sculptures here convey the people's worship and longing for the church at that time. If you have enough time, I recommend purchasing a ticket to visit the underground city. Unfortunately, we arrived early this time and the guided tour had not yet started. I believe I will definitely visit the underground city next time I visit!

It's a massive Cathedral. The experience is amazing. It is as much a gallery of art as a place of worship. So as a mark of respect don't use camera inside the Cathedral. For tourists, take a train from Rome, or Florence to Orvieto. Then the Funicular to the top of the hill. There's a small fort and a underground place also for visitors. Local food is very good and reasonably priced

The Duomo in Orvieto is one of the most beautiful churches I’ve visited in Italy. The outside is stunning — the front is full of detailed mosaics, sculptures, and gold decorations that shine in the sunlight. The walls are made of black and white stone in stripes, which makes it look very unique compared to other cathedrals. Inside, the cathedral is peaceful and full of history. The most impressive part is the Chapel of San Brizio, where you can see amazing frescoes by Luca Signorelli. These paintings show scenes from the Last Judgment and the Apocalypse, and the emotion and detail in the faces are incredible. It’s hard to believe they were painted over 500 years ago. Another highlight is the crypt, which many visitors miss. It’s small but very interesting, with ancient frescoes, old tombs, and Christian symbols. It feels like a hidden part of the cathedral that connects you to a much older time. Overall, the Duomo is not just beautiful — it also tells many stories through its art and structure. If you’re in Orvieto, don’t miss it. It’s a perfect mix of architecture, art, and history in one place.

Stunning architecture! Italy is home to many exceptional cathedrals, but this one truly stands out as one of the most remarkable in all of Europe. Entry is only €6.50, and remember to cover your shoulders and legs to be allowed inside. The grandeur and beauty are absolutely breathtaking, you’ll be amazed.

This is a stunning 1500 church in the Florence style using the black and white stones to create the iconic stripes. The fresco paintings inside are well worth a look. They depict the Last Judgment, featuring vivid scenes of the Resurrection of the Flesh, the Elect in Paradise, and the Damned in Hell.Buy the entry tickets opposite.

Absolutely worth every cent. This Cathedral is beautiful, there is only one Cathedral more beautiful and that's the Berliner Dom in Germany. In November 2025 the entry cost is €8 per Adult. This is a must see destination in Italy.

I visited in early September 2024. Fun experience! Something unique to Orvieto and highly recommended. The history of the well is very interesting and it was revolutionary for its time. However, not for those with mobility issues. Yes, there are some railings, but the stairs are slick and uneven. Also, maybe not if you have breathing issues. It was very humid, my hair doubled in size! Lol Great exercise!

Really cool to see! The steps could be an issue for someone in less than ideal shape, but my husband and I made it to the bottom and back up (with a stop to take pictures at the bottom) in less than 10 minutes. Ticket purchase at the office was quick and easy.

Loved the walk down and UP the stairs. Walked it with my 7 year old daughter and she made it up and down easy enough. Not at all claustrophobic (even though it thought it might be). Fun thing to do takes about 30mins. Worth the entry fe.

A Charming Visitor's Note Descending the 248 steps of the Pozzo di San Patrizio is a profound experience. This masterpiece of Renaissance engineering feels like an inverted, mesmerizing tower. The light filtering in from the 72 windows highlights the genius of the double helix design. It is fascinating to walk the path once used by donkeys to carry water, knowing the separate ramps ensured they never crossed paths. Be sure to look up from the bottom for a dizzying view! A stunning blend of history, necessity, and clever design. The Historical Secret Built in the 16th century (1527-1537), this Italian well's history is rooted in crisis. Following the Sack of Rome (1527), Pope Clement VII sought refuge in Orvieto and commissioned architect Antonio da Sangallo the Younger to ensure the city had water during a siege. Sangallo's brilliant solution was the double spiral staircase, allowing continuous, non-crossing traffic for water-carrying mules. Originally Pozzo della Rocca, it was renamed Pozzo di San Patrizio because its depth evoked the Irish legend of St. Patrick’s Purgatory. The well's purpose is captured by the Latin inscription: QUOD NATURA MUNIMENTO INVIDERAT INDUSTRIA ADIECIT (What nature grudged for defence, industry has supplied).

Quite a unique place to see a medieval well where you walk through a double helix to get to the bottom of the well and then back up. Worth a visit if you can do the walk Once you are in, you have to commit to finish the walk. There are no shortcuts to exit.

Great attraction. I was skeptical at first, because of my claustrophobia, but it turned out to not be a problem as the stairwell is quite wide. I really recommend

This was a really cool place to visit and worth the work to see and explore.

Amazing place. A convent/church that has been revived by a genius architect and artist who built magnificent and creative theaters behind it. Unique. Wherever you look, you'll see another work of art. Entrance only on weekends by pre reservation. The tour (mandatory) is a bit too long, and *you can't* leave before it ends...

PLEASE AVOID! Leaving one star because I can’t leave no stars. I don’t even know where to begin. We arrived after 11am on a Saturday morning (hadn’t checked the website as I always check opening times on google maps, perhaps my fault), and were rushed in by somebody standing at the gate to the property. Without explaining much, he told us it was 10€ per person, and we paid in cash. He locked the gate and told us to follow him. We arrived to an amazing amphitheater where there were about 100 people, half of them listening to an older guy speaking very loudly in Italian. It was no problem we didn’t understand half of it, at least we would get a tour of the place, or so we thought. He rambled for at least 45 min… not really sure if that was supposed to be a tour or what, but we decided we were not willing to spend the next hour listening to a mad man talking about the universe in the intense heat, without seeing any of the actual place! Worst 10€ spent, ever. Still, we thought we’d cut our losses and asked the man who we paid to let us in, to let us out. No big deal right? He told us to wait 5 min, which we did. After that, we asked again if we could leave. Very very quickly he got quite defensive, and said (not jokingly) he “might not let us out at all”. EXCUSE ME, WHAT? I’ve never ever experienced such awful customer care/experience. We can laugh about it now but panic was starting to set it, honestly. I was so ready to call the police when he started walking towards the exit. We followed him and thank god! What an absolute nightmare. We were finally free. I’m sure the place is amazing, and I would have loved to see more of it, but it’s really not worth dealing with such tw***. Spend your money somewhere else. In a pizza, a glass of wine, an aperol spritz or anywhere else where you’ll feel you’re actually treated with respect. PLEASE AVOID!!

The place is beautiful and for sure culturally and historically fascinating, but as a person with limited understanding of Italian, I felt like I was a prisoner of the tour guides who refused to let us leave after an hour of listening to an abstract monologue full of insults and inside jokes that no one found funny. In the end we convinced someone to open the door for us, but were denied the honor of seeing medieval frescoes, which felt a lot like a vendetta for our lack of appreciation for the tour. The road leading to the place is definitely only fit for 4x4 cars. If you have one, speak Italian and also have 10€, 2 hours and a lot of patience then I guess it can be worth it. Really curious to know what guardia di finanza would say about the fact there is cash only & no receipts policy.

The architect Tomaso Buzzi is the creative mind who brought together historical styles, symbols, and quotes from the past in his designs for this aritecture park. Built on the ex-property of a Franciscan monestary. Our guide, the nephew of Buzzi, opened the visit by noting: "St. Francis was the first who used drugs" as a way to think about the way people use drugs today to change their perception of the world. The tour is in italian but there is someone on hand to help with English sums on the side. Group visit is big (c100 people) but the guide uses a speaker-microphone so it was easy to hear. Also, big open spaces and much freedom to walk around and take photos. It seemed to me many people in my group did not read about the site in advance OR were not open-minded enough to appreciate the site and the guide. I highly recommend the site for people who want to have an experience outside the norm of guided visits to art-gardens in Italy. Be sure to rsvp weeks in advance.

Incredible history of architecture and sculpture! Must visit but call and book in advance as they often don't take bookings/no last minute entries! 10euro per person

Amazing surreal place in the middle of nowhere. Despite all the complaints about the guide I thought it was fantastic and suit the uncommon nature of the place itself! He's a genius.

A different experience into a place hidden from society and frozen in time. Not quite easy to reach but definitely worth it. The architecture is full of mystical symbols and the guide stories are both interesting and fun. Preorder are received by emails for groups of min 8 persons

Mega sights and shops but lots of lucky string sellers

Amazing turistica city situated on the hills serving you with amazing views of other surrounding villages. Here you live the historic story of the 90s and you see amazing ancient houses. All tourists should have a visit here

Todi is amazing and vibrant with locals and ex-pats!

Lots of history, beautiful architecture, great views

Todi is a hilltop town town in Umbria with amazing views . Since the centre of town is ZTL ( which means you have to park outside the walls and if you make the mistake of driving in, trust me, the fine will@arrive in the mail 🥲) Todi offers excellent options to get their visitors to the centre. Once parked in the Public paid parking there is either a shuttle bus every 15 minutes or a funicular into town, both of which are offered free.

Old Town with some interesting buildings and lots of alleyways to explore. Funicular out of action so free bus to town from parking area available.

Lovely main square full of life. On the south side is a gelateria so u can buy children's patience while u explore town 😎😎.

Cascata delle Marmore is a breathtaking mix of natural power and Roman engineering. The roaring falls, scenic trails, and magical mist make it unforgettable. A must-see for nature lovers and travelers alike

exceptional experience that deserves a bit of outside advertising, we got to know about it from a local friends. easy to get to, spectacular views and a bit of a workout to return :-) the butterfly house worth seeing, too!

So beautiful!! Unfortunately we came a bit late, at 15:30, 30 minutes before the falls are shut down for the day. It’s nice to stroll through the park regardless. But the park was closed entirely by 17:00, so I would advise to plan the visit time better than we did.

It is just beautiful,. We set parking for 1.5h , but we sure did needed more. Got to the first 3 spots there, all the way down. Luckily we packed some snacks and fruits 😋 bc there is a lovely view point right in front of the waterfall.

Absolutely breathtaking and worth the trip. There are paths that make it fairly easy to walk up to view the various falls (you will get wet!). The temperature drops ten degrees when you reach the parking lot, which is an incredible treat in summer. Be sure to stay to see the falls turn off at 1pm or back on again at 3. Plenty of parking. The bus terminal is a little tricky to find in Terni. It’s not the main Terni station but is around the corner to the left after you walk out the front entrance of the station. There’s a dedicated shuttle just for the falls, but pay attention to times, or you’ll end up needing a taxi to get back to Terni (speaking from experience!).

Pretty impressive place it is better to come on the schedule and to climb up to see all the place it is like a small iguasu

The tallest artificial watetfall in the world! A beautiful, unconventional place – created by human intervention, yet so natural. It's worth devoting more time to exploring and hiking the entire trail, rather than just admiring the views from the upper terrace.

Really good tour. First part is sat down listening to a lady speak (who was excellent) and a video. Then a look at the exhibits in the museum. Best bit was then the factory tour which takes place on a kind of enclosed, raised walkway. Fascinating. My kids loved seeing the robots packing chocolates. Finishes with an opportunity to taste the range. Very well done and a good 2 hour experience.

We went there without any appointment. But lucky us, we still got a chance to join an Italian group to visit the factory. Although we don’t speak any Italian, the guide lady was super friendly and nice! She played an introduction video in English and explained to us in English as well. And the workers at the factory look so happy. Last but not least, the entire factory smells sooooooo yummy 😋 Highly recommend to visit! We had a lot of fun there. Of course, it would be better to check their schedule before going, they have English tour as well.

They came highly recommended, but very disappointing!! Please don’t waste your money here. They are not willing to accommodate or help you. Wanted to book a private tour in English, cost over 600E for a tour and private class. Won’t take a credit card, wanted my bank information….. Booked a tour at Lindt in Switzerland and very helpful and worked with you!!! Someone told me about another chocolate factory in Perugia called Be Well… great people…very nice….

We called their number and made a reservation for an English tour in advance. The entrance is closed from 1300h to 1400h (and they did not open it early despite seeing lots of us waiting outside in the sun). Adult tickets are €10 each; children accompanied by an adult are €8 (you buy tickets there). The 1400h tour started at 1412h. Our guide was Gloria, she speaks English very well, and was very friendly with the group. She gave a short introduction and then we watched a ten minute video about the history and how their chocolate is made (disappointing that Perugina company was taken over by Nestle). Then we had a five to ten minute period of sampling chocolate (four Baci, one dark OR milk chocolate egg, and one Milky Bar and one After Eight - seven chocolates in total). The group all went to the museum portion together where Gloria explained more of the history, etc... (probably about 15 minutes). Then we went to tour the factory (probably about 15 minutes). It was unfortunate that we didn't see the chocolate being made on the assembly line (nothing was coming out on the machines), but we did see the chocolate being boxed up. We got into their shop area just over an hour after the start of the tour (around 1530h). This is an ok thing if you're looking for something to do in the area, but not worth a special trip only for this IMO. They ramp up production in October for Easter (so you'd see the giant eggs being made with the surprise in the middle). The town has a chocolate festival in October as well. What ruined our experience (otherwise this would have been three stars), was there was a massive group (greater than 20 people, at least 12 of which were children ranging in age from toddler to about 10yo) who came in after the video, and were extremely loud. There was so much yelling, crying, children running around everywhere, it was hard to hear the guide, and if you happened to be more than three to five people behind the guide in the factory you could not hear her at all. Because of advance booking for the tour, this group should have been put by themselves. Our "original group" of about 15 people would've been great. If the factory is going to have groups greater than 15 people they should have head sets for everyone to be able to hear the guide, or simply keep the groups smaller and run more frequent tours.

An extensive tour of the famous ‘Baci’ chocolate factory and adjoining museum. Event (pre-booked on their website) starts off with a video feature, followed by some tasty chocolate samples, and a guided tour starting with an exhibition on how it all started, with an extensive display of the many products sold and on sale, ending with an overhead walk along the factory and a well-stocked shop with items for sale. All you chocolate lovers this is worth a visit to set you dreaming!

If you visit perugia is a must experience!We had the pleasure of English guide and she explained everything sharing the passion for the company its values!We ate a lot of chocolates and we had the opportunity to buy some chocolate souvenirs on low price.The tickets were 8 euros as it was weekend and some production machines didn't operate. However it was a pleasant visit!

A tasty history and tour of the world's leading chocolateer. Brief and interesting video, tasty tasting treats followed by a very interesting tour of this gigantic and highly automated tour of a chocolate factory that would make Willie and the Wonka-heads proud.

Nothing much happening in there. And its really hard to find the entrance. We ended up walking around outside to the bottom of it, yet there was a nice escalator we missed. Unique and spooky underground mini town, well, smaller than that but it has that feel.

A big place where you can take a tour inside, for free, a huge historic place from where you can enter the old town of the city to the The Fontana Maggiore and other monuments.

Unique medieval village experience! No cost!

This is quite an extraordinary spot, underneath the modern city!

I believe everyone visiting Perugia should stop by and explore Rocca Paolina. There is no entrance fee!

It is a page in the history of Perugia which bears witness to a vanished architectural structure; all that remains are those buildings which were transformed into the basement of the hated Rocca and which today can be visited and explored. The Rocca has a very particular charm, it feels like walking in an ancient medieval street but indoors. Nice sensations.

Great place to see the underground for free and on your own.

The square embellished by the cathedral facade is simply mesmerizing ! The center point of Spoleto with Pinturicchio and Filippino Lippi frescoes nested in a late romanic architecture with a 15th century colonnade that add to its gravitas. Spectaculat, imposing, magnificent !

There are two audio guides available. The first audio guide has one headphone set and is immediately visible upon the right hand side after entry into the church. The second audio guide is at the rear of the building on the left hand side and it has two headphone sets. There are multiple languages to choose from. Cost is €2 for six or so theee to five minute discussion guides on versions aspects of the church, its history and people. Highly recommend listening to the guide. A lot of information condensed into a short time frame. Of particular interest was the geopolitics and the historical involvement with the Medicis. Bring €0.50 to pay for the lights at various sections of the church. It will not accept smaller cents or €1 or €2. If you do not have €0.50, the cashier in the bookstore will gladly make you change. Here there is a letter from St Francis to St Leo which is on the left hand side of the church in an obscure corner of the back room which requires €0.50 to brighten the room. In this room is also a skull and legno painted Sybil’s and saints. Another highlight is Papa Giovanni Paolo in the right back corner which again can be more visible with the 0.50. Bookstore lacks statues of the holy family and saints, holy water, and religious relics which are available at most other churches throughout Italy. This was disappointing. I visit many churches and collect onomasticos for my family and friends. I was hoping to get the baby Michele and raffe for my cousins grandchildren at this visit. I like to think a lady can never own too many shoes, dresses or holy relics. I left this cathedral without spending the money which I normally spend in a church but I will gladly give my money to another church in the area. Definitely worth a visit. Estimated Time required: 1.30-2 hours

Famous little Umbrian town Famous for "Don Matteo" - Mario Girotti's TV show Wondeful square in front of church Beautiful church

Beautiful Cathedral. So very interesting. The painting by Filippino Lippi, is of course stunning. It draws you in the more you look. The atmosphere is very tranquil. We went up the 147 (I think ) steps to the bell tower, it was worth the climb to see the view.

Like all the big churches in Italy, you will be amazed at the art work throughout the building.

This cathedral with a square in front can be reached by going up an elevators set up, not far from a parking lot in Spoleto outskirts. Like many churches across Italy, this is a splendid Romanesque building very much worth a visit not only for prayer and worship. Inside there are magnificent works of art with various paintings, including frescoes by Pinturicchio, mosaics and more.

A truly amazing cathedral with wonderful art and views

What a beautiful place to walk during the day or night! There is a little bar/ Cafe not far from the entrance to the Rocca. The café has a great view to the valley. Also.. there are escalators and also the underground people mover if you want to save yourself some steps uphill.

Beautiful view. The bridge is amazing and ancient, about 80mt high with two towers on the side. This is also called the " Bridge of suicides". Unfortunately is closed after the sismic movements of the last years and you cannot cross it. Nevertheless absolutely worth a visit.

Pretty bridge and surroundings. Leave after the top escalator and walk around the mountain to get her most easily.

Ponte delle torri is a very strong robust structure which withstood all the tests of time. Right from the times of Romans. And you can see that it is still looking as strong and as valid today as it must have been then. Although it is not in use but it is fully functional even today.

the bridge is closed so can't across to the other part. Is it nice ? yes it is but we don't go there just to have the possibility to take a photo which we can find in the Internet , we need more, However it still deserve a visit.

Nice walk over the bridge and nice view from the fortress

Spoleto, and it's old aqueduct, is really worth a visit. It's very easy to get around and, especially during a sunny winter's day, the view on the surrounding mountains and the valley is amazing. Right now (December 2018) the aqueduct, which is also a bridge, cannot be crossed.
