Beautiful park with different sections of plants and interesting buildings. The trail does become quite steep, but its definitely worth the hike.

Gorgeous garden - easily accessible from Genoa via frequent trains, well maintained, clear path to follow and in perfect condition. Make sure to wear proper walking shoes. Wonderful idea to have garden and buildings weaved into a theatrical story. We visited on a weekday afternoon and literally saw only 4 other visitors so pretty much had the whole path to ourselves. The garden itself deserves 5 stars but I had to remove 1 star as for half the path, the noice from the nearby highway was an unavoidable distraction and ruined the otherwise beautiful experience. It’s such a shame whoever built the highway and some of the surrounding buildings didn’t consider the garden; the garden felt like one that should be shared with the public and preserved from noise and other pollution given how special it was.

It's amazing! I was impressed by the different themes in the garden, especially the grotto, the Temple of Diana and the Chinese Pagoda. The uphill road might be a little hard for the young and the old, but the view and the spots on top of the hill are well worth the effort. The highlight is the boat tour on the lake. We had a very friendly student gondolier who gave us history of the garden. We met a few of these tourism major students at different spots and they were all very helpful and hospitable! It was such a pleasure to visit this place without crowds and I got maybe 100 stunning pictures.

Extraordinary park with a really beautiful historical mansion. 3.5 km of pathways, a triumph arc in palladian style, 2 lakes, the biggest with romantic artificial caves, a bridge with a small Chinese pagoda. The Captain's house is a must see, because of the structure itself and the panoramic view. Strongly suggested good shoes. At least 3 hours needed to visit and appreciate everything. Fair ticket

Be prepared for hiking. Highway is nearby and it's very noisy spoiling experiance. You feel like you are in the forest meanwhile you can hear city noise. Most of the stops are boring with exception of cave and lake at the end.
