Villa designed by Baldassare Peruzzi, with fresco decorations by major artists including Raphael.
"Our next activity brought us to one of Rome’s most incredible hidden gems. A&K had arranged for us to have private access to the Villa Farnesina, a Renaissance villa with frescoes by Raphael." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"The Villa was the private residence of Agostino Chigi, one of the Renaissance's richest men; he liked to showcase his wealth by hiring artists to paint elaborate frescoes on the walls and ceilings in his palace. That makes this a great place for Renaissance fans who want to take their time and see the art in-situ without the crowds. Thanks to Raphael's emphasis on mythological themes, it's also a great place for kids who know about the Roman gods—or want to!" - Katie Parla, Maresa Manara
