★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An inferior and smaller version of Tivoli Gardens. Same general layout: a series of waterworks running down the slope of a hill. Lots of maintenance work going on. Lots of maintenance needed.
Certainly nothing to go out of your way for. Spent 30 minutes. Admission is 5 Euros

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful and unique "all'italiana" park and historical building. Nice and elaborated waterfalls. On some days guided tours of the interiors of the buildings are scheduled.
Villa Lante is part of a enjoyable public park (free access)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gorgeous garden from the 13th Century. Be sure to do a little reading up on the history of Villa Lante before going in— you’ll be sure to have an even deeper appreciation, and respect for the space.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very pretty garden, similar to Versailles. This has been a great visit in winter, blue skies and few visitors. Love all these medieval towns! #alagreenviaggia

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful gardens with very few visitors. We were with an Italian friend who has heard there was a free tour, but there were no signs and the guy at the ticket office didn't say anything, so we asked and our names were put on the list (you'll need some Italian to do it). Apparently a different one of the various buildings is opened for the tour each week. We saw inside the limonaia with a very bored and fast-speaking guide who told us Margaret Thatcher had stayed there, though the picture she pointed to on the wall was of Princess Margaret!!! The gardens are a little run down, but definitely worth seeing.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After coffees we walked the short distance to Villa Lante and paid the standard €5 cash to get in. This was also built by a cardinal so that was obviously a wise career choice for the Italian nobility. We couldn't go into the villa itself but there were two summer pavilions, each decorated in a similar style to the Palazzo Farnese. The main attraction though was the gardens, specifically the water features and fountains. These were cleverly designed to link each of the three terraces together and were absolutely beautiful, both visually and aurally.
We spent almost two hours in the gardens and it was lovely just taking in the new view as we climbed each terrace. Each layer and fountain of the garden had an excellent information board so there was no shortage of stuff to read too! We walked back to the car park via a passageway with a mural detailing the procession of the Sacred Fire of St Anthony of Bagnaia, a local festival.
