★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The owner is SO RUDE! I advise everyone to completely boycott this place because of his DISGUSTING behaviour. He was unpleasant from the beginning (clearly didn’t want to be there) and began the tour swearing and insulting one of the guests. After only 45 minutes he screamed at everyone and kicked us out because we showed ‘poor performance’. This was simply because the group was enthusiastic to take photos which he felt meant we did not want to hear any of the history. After reassuring him multiple times that we were excited to hear the story of the Scarzuola, he didn’t care and kicked us all out telling us all not to ever come back! His uncle (passed away) designed this magical place to be enjoyed, and unfortunately his nephew (the current owner) ruins the energy and magic with his disgusting, arrogant attitude. I have never experienced something like this in my whole life, I was completely shocked! Do not go here, it’s not worth the risk of the owner disliking your group for no particular reason and finishing the tour not even half way through! AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place which is definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere is fantastic and timeless, like being on a fantasy world. The owner has a strong personality and a way of communicating with the visitors that could about l annoy sure people but I would say it is a perfect fit in that context. The old church can be visited on request and is quite peculiar and deserves a stop. I strongly recommend to visit this venue. Best in mind that the visit has to be book well in advance and you that there are only few times at which the visit can start. Showing up the without booking or at the wind time will not let you in.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My #1 attraction in Umbria. An extraordinary fantasy created in the 20th century on the site of a Franciscan chapel created in the 14th. Must make an appointment for the guided tour in English, I promise you won't regret it!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A different experience into a place hidden from society and frozen in time. Not quite easy to reach but definitely worth it. The architecture is full of mystical symbols and the guide stories are both interesting and fun. Preorder are received by emails for groups of min 8 persons

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing surreal place in the middle of nowhere. Despite all the complaints about the guide I thought it was fantastic and suit the uncommon nature of the place itself! He's a genius.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The place is interesting to visit. But the owner, who is also the guide, is not only very rude but also extremely vulgar. Parents with children who understand Italian should be aware!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The architect Tomaso Buzzi is the creative mind who brought together historical styles, symbols, and quotes from the past in his designs for this aritecture park. Built on the ex-property of a Franciscan monestary. Our guide, the nephew of Buzzi, opened the visit by noting: "St. Francis was the first who used drugs" as a way to think about the way people use drugs today to change their perception of the world. The tour is in italian but there is someone on hand to help with English sums on the side. Group visit is big (c100 people) but the guide uses a speaker-microphone so it was easy to hear. Also, big open spaces and much freedom to walk around and take photos. It seemed to me many people in my group did not read about the site in advance OR were not open-minded enough to appreciate the site and the guide. I highly recommend the site for people who want to have an experience outside the norm of guided visits to art-gardens in Italy. Be sure to rsvp weeks in advance.
