Credo che la Villa non abbia bisogno di presentazioni: centinaia di turisti si riversano per vedere la famosa loggia di Psiche di Raffaello, dove il sommo maestro non mise mai mano. L'invenzione del ciclo è sua, i disegni, i cartoni sono suoi, ma la realizzazione è tutta degli allievi, tra i quali un giovane Giulio Romano, Giovanfransco Penni e Giovanni da Udine (famose per dipingere frutta e fiori). Di Raffaello dovrebbe invece essere la Galatea, affrescata nella loggia di Galatea, accanto al bellissimo Polifemo di Sebastiano del Piombo. Meritano anche gli affreschi di Peruzzi, sempre nella loggia e, un po' meno, quelli del Sodoma nella Camera da letto. Il giardino, oggi, è una pallida eco di quello che doveva essere nei primi decenni del 1500, quando si affacciava sul Tevere (i muraglioni di contenimento del lungotevere sono del 1800). Ingresso caro: 12 euro. Riduzioni per soci FAI, studenti, over 65. Al piano superiore, dopo anni di restauro, sono state aperte alcune sale che mostrano l'archeologia della Villa, che sorge su un sito romano e la sua influenza del corso dei secoli.

Not suitable for kids, but it is a nice break for you walking around Rome. You need to pay only for adults (>18).

Visita che merita, soprattutto se si prenota la visita guidata, perché permette di comprendere a fondo e apprezzare ancora di più. Ha anche un meraviglioso giardino in cui si può fare foto e passeggiare
