    Just the sight of the facade and the front garden is already impressive. But you have to look over the gate to get an insight. Otherwise there are also garden tours, as can be read in the picture above.

      The villa was built between 1676 and 1678 by Cardinal Flavio Chigi on a project by the architect Carlo Fontana, a pupil of Bernini, on the occasion of the election to the papal throne of his uncle Fabio Chigi, with the name of Alexander VII. The building was not conceived as a place of representation, but rather as a secluded residence, where the Chigi could retire for short periods of rest. However, the landscaping of its vast gardens, a forerunner of French taste in Italy, were reproduced in views, conceived to be exhibited in other Chigi residences, to spread the new way.

        Beautiful secluded property with a great villa. Unfortunately you can't get into the garden.
