About this tour
Explore two of Rome's finest Art Nouveau landmarks in a single two-hour private tour. Start at Villa Torlonia, a neoclassical estate with manicured grounds, sculptures, and the Casina delle Civette—a 20-room museum housing stained glass, mosaics and decorative tiles. Then wander through the Coppedè quarter, Gino Coppedè's whimsical architectural neighbourhood, anchored by its famous Fountain of the Frogs. A Blue Badge guide leads the way, with hotel transfer included.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at the villa entrance and walks you through the landscaped grounds, pointing out architectural details and the history of Prince Giovanni Torlonia's residence. Inside the Casina delle Civette, expect ornate interiors across 20 rooms—coloured glass, mosaic floors and ceramic-decorated walls reward close attention. The Casino Nobile houses a serious sculpture collection. After an hour or so, you'll head to the Coppedè quarter nearby for a leisurely stroll through curved streets and ornamental facades that feel almost theatrical. The neighbourhood rewards wandering and photography.
