This place is magic! And yet, it's hard to find on the map, hardly indicated from the Italian highways, not listed in most guide books, etc. What is wrong with people! Parents and adolescents alike we loved our visit of this park and stayed two hours, plus time in the gift shop to find a book to share with others!... More

This sculpture garden is almost 1 very good reason to go to the South of Tuscany. It was lovely to walk around this garden and look at all the colorful details Niki de Saint Phalle has realized. Amazing inspirational place and interesting for children as well. (check the opening hours before going!).

Niki de St Phalle is an internationally reknown sculpture artist with installations in France, Israel, Japan, and California (San Diego, Escondido) among other places. As you drive to the Tarot Garden, glittering multi-colored, mirrored mosaic sculptures - two and three stories tall - representing figures from tarot cards - rise up out of the Tuscan hillside. The sculptures are accessible... More

Energy of life precipitated in mosaic and dreamlike shapes ... not to be described in full by any means ... Whether you just come and enjoy colors and shapes or try to fathom the deeper meaning ... just go there!!! I bet you will leave this place in high spirits and I cannot imagine anybody to escape the charme of... More

I think it is one of my favourite places in the world. I go to the Garden at lesat twice a year, and in four years, everytime i go i discover new things to see. I believe it's a place that must be seen more than once, 'cause it's so full of marvellous details that a full day is not... More

This is a place for the whole family - everybody will love it! The artist has put her whole heart into every piece of work made on this place. Niki de Saint Phalle got inspired by Gaudi's Parc Grüell in Barcelona but has passed him in emotions and details by far. Incredible that this place is in the middle of... More

It reminded me both of Guell park in Barcelona and Hundertwasser Haus in Vienna. It is small - just around 1 hour there would do, but there are surprises there that I have not seen elsewhere. Ingenious structures. I liked it a lot and the kids loved it. We made the route especially through there from Toscana to Rome. However... More
