This was a secret gem. Not crowded in June. The secret garden is lovely. The Papal artifacts, portraits and Papal apartments were amazing. Not a long trip from Rome and worth every penny.

The grounds were beautiful. I recommend taking the bus tour rather than the walking tour. Bring your own plug on earphones for the audio set.
