Villa Lante

Villa Lante is a sprawling countryside estate in Bagnaia, Italy. It is made up of two villas, connected by a bridge, a terraced garden and a series of water features and fountains. Villa Lante is renowned for its beauty and is a popular spot for tourists to explore, particularly in the warmer months. The villa was created by Cardinal Gambara in 1568, who purchased the property and created the layout of the gardens. It's been refurbished and restored over the years, and is still in its original form. The villa has a beautiful terraced garden, with tall trees providing shade, lush grass and bursting flowerbeds. Visitors can enjoy the path leading up the hillside to the highest point of the terrace. Take the time to explore the villa's many themed areas and water features, including cascades, ponds and a beautiful grotto. Stroll through the formal gardens, including the beautiful Loggetta area. Explore the orangerie, which is a botanical garden filled with exotic plants, flowers, and trees. Enjoy the stunning views from the terrace and cliff-side lookout points. Villa Lante is a great place to visit for the day, and offers something for every traveler and photographer.
