EXPERIENCE ROME
Step into the world of the Italian Renaissance with a visit to one of Rome's most elegant villas, followed by a peaceful experience surrounded by nature in the city's Botanical Garden.
Our morning begins in the heart of Trastevere, where we will meet at Piazza Trilussa before taking a short walk to Villa Farnesina, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture renowned for its magnificent frescoes by Raphael and other celebrated artists. During our guided visit, you will discover the fascinating history of the villa, its influential patrons, and the extraordinary artistic achievements that make it one of Rome's hidden gems.
After the visit, we will enjoy a traditional Italian coffee before continuing to the nearby Botanical Garden. Surrounded by centuries-old trees and botanical collections from around the world, we will conclude the morning with a short guided meditation session, offering a moment to slow down, reconnect with nature, and reflect in one of Rome's most tranquil settings.
A perfect combination of Renaissance art, history, nature, and mindfulness.
