This tour is followed by entry to the Borghese Villa Gardens, home to the rich and diverse flora that proves a pleasure to all of the senses. The gardens contain numerous buildings and villas to admire, and the gardens themselves are so picturesque that they have been featured in many artists’ paintings.
