Vitale was very courteous and knowledgeable. The tour was excellent; I highly recommend it to everyone. It’s a shame the fountains are under renovation.

Went with my dad on a random Thursday. The palace is ENORMOUS, like you think you’ve seen a big hallway but then boom—another one, even fancier. I kept losing track of how many painted ceilings I’d seen. Bit of advice: bring water. I didn’t and was regreting it by room #7. Staff were chill, but didn’t speak much English, so we just sort of nodded at each other. The fountains outside are worth the walk (yes, it’s a trek, but it’s pretty and there’s shade sometimes). My dad loved the old statues, I was obsessed with the floor tiles. Didn’t get to see everything because my feet gave up. Def wanna come back for the gardens alone.

Honestly, this place is wild. It’s like a movie set but real life. We went as a couple and got there around noon, which was…bad idea, sooooo many tour groups blocking the hallways. The rooms are all super decorative, but after a while my boyfriend was like, 'Is this the same room again?' It gets a bit repetitive. Highlight for me was the view from the windows—EPIC gardens. Didn’t love the wait to get in, took about 40 mins. Worth it tho. BRING snacks, nothing nearby.

Went solo. The history is cool (I googled a lot while walking). But it’s super stuffy inside, not joking, I felt like I needed a fan in every room. The staff didn’t seem to care much about people taking pictures, but you can’t use flash. The gardens were closed early, didn’t know that—wish I’d checked the times.
