One of the most beautiful villas I have seen across the world. Also the guided audio tour is very interesting. The Garden is also super nice with beautiful views and many interesting plants and trees.
David Jones
Beautiful gardens with a stunning villa. Very tranquil settings for various style gardens offering plenty of shade. Inside the villa the rooms are carefully displayed with lovely paintings and antique furniture. A must to visit , highly recommended.
Viktoria Krusenvald
Absolutely magical! It’s every bit as beautiful as on pictures or even better. Wonderful place for a little morning-afternoon stroll - breathtaking views, beautiful gardens, tons of history and culture all in one place. We also visited the restaurant they have their and the food was also lovely (though nothing spectacular taste-wise).
Zita Polster
another gorgeous location - vast, lush gardens you can get lost in, absolutely stunning views and the villa itself is a testament to the endurance of luxury architecture and the human need for pleasure. moderately busy during midday/afternoon, but absolutely not a problem.
Beat A. Schwendimann
This beautiful belle epoch villa belonged to the Rothschild family. The villa is still originally furnished. The second highlight besides the villa are the gardens: nine separate gardens focus on roses, cacti, japanese plants, or succulents. There is a tearoom and a restaurant on site. Stunning views of the coast.
