In a state of disrepair, and no access at this time to the interior. Interesting, but not a destination to go out of your way for. I hope they plan on doing more work to this. The sculptures and gardens were nice.

drove to the castle with great enthusiasm in the hope of having a nice and beautiful afternoon. the route there was an adventure itself because of the steep road. 5 euros for a ticket seemed a fair deal to us. When we arrived, the castle appeared to be closed to visitors (no tourist guide had mentioned this) due to "renovations" that have apparently been going on for quite some time and do not seem to be progressing. The castle is in a very bad state on the outside, except for a small part that has already been renovated. We have no idea of the inside, since it is closed. A disappointment for us, but we held on to the idea of visiting the "beautiful gardens". Professionally, I am involved in green management in my hometown, so I thought it would be nice to visit the garden. This was again a huge disappointment, most of the garden is also closed to the public and the part that could be visited was nothing special. a few (pruned) palm trees, a few olive trees, some grass and some statues. Hugely disappointing! Even though it is "only" 5 euros, and you have a nice view from the balcony in the garden, after about 20 minutes you have seen it all and you are back at the gate, the ride there took longer than our visit itself.

Very nice palace but it's not in good shape. It's under renovation now only inside, as much as I could see, but I think it's long overdue to be renovated, unfortunately. Beautiful garden and views, it's a pity we couldn't see inside. Nice history of the place (except that it was also a casino in the past, it's appalling that a historical palace was used like that..)

The palace is currently closed for refurbishment however the gardens remain open. And they are stunning! A wide variety of pretty flowers flanks by tall trees and of course a smattering of olive trees. All intertwined with traditional greek statues and ponds. And what makes it stunning? Take a look at the views!!!

Unfortunately, the palace is under renovation. The near 3 years said that it will hardly end. Only the gardens are free to enter. It is well worth seeing and has a beautiful view of the bay. You can go there with blue bus 10 from corfu town.
