Immerse yourself in the elegance and history of the Renaissance with a guided tour of the Villa Medici, one of Rome's most iconic residences. Commissioned by Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici in the 16th century, this villa represents the artistic, political and cultural ambition of one of the most influential families in Europe.

During the tour, you will learn not only about the architecture of the villa, with its striking façade decorated with ancient bas-reliefs, but also about the history of how this place became a centre of art and creativity. Today, it is home to the French Academy in Rome, continuing its tradition as a haven for artists.

One of the main attractions of the visit are the Renaissance gardens, carefully designed to reflect the harmony between art and nature. Strolling through them is like walking through a living painting: hedge mazes, classical sculptures and hidden fountains create a magical atmosphere.

From the gardens you will have access to some of the most spectacular views of Rome, including a privileged perspective of St. Peter's dome. This panoramic view makes the visit both a cultural and visually unforgettable experience.

At the end of the tour, if there is an active temporary exhibition, you can also access it by presenting your ticket at the ticket office.
