what you'll experience

  • Step into a Renaissance villa 

    Enter Villa Farnesina and feel the city fall away as light, frescoed loggias, and perfectly balanced spaces open around you. Elegant and airy, it feels like stepping into a quieter, more refined side of Rome.
  • Look up at Raphael's mythological world

    Lift your gaze into Raphael’s frescoes above you, from the Galatea to the story of Cupid and Psyche. Movement, colour, and imagination take over the space, turning the ceiling into something joyful and theatrical.
  • Meet the world of Agostino Chigi 

    Discover the banker behind the villa and sense his presence in every detail. Agostino Chigi’s world reveals taste, ambition, and quiet power, where wealth is shaped into art and Renaissance elegance.
  • Get lost in colour, detail, and story 

    Move through rooms where frescoes wrap around you and detail draws your eye in every direction. Gods, lovers, garlands, flowers, and animals unfold across the walls, turning them into a playful, living narrative.

  • Wander Trastevere after the tour ends

    Step out of the villa and find Trastevere waiting just outside. Cobbled lanes and lively bars open into a neighbourhood made for wandering, where every turn invites you to discover it for yourself.
