Niki de Saint Phalle's Tarot Garden is absolutely magic! As a professional tarot reader, this felt like a pilgrimage for me, but I would think that anyone with an interest in sculpture and colour and over-the-top creativity would love it. The price is very reasonable considering the fabulousness of the place and the obvious care in maintaining the garden. The staff were so friendly - I felt very welcome there. I enjoyed it so much I spent at least 3 hours there, and then I went back the following day and spent another 3 hours! I highly recommend going there, and do take your time if possible - soak it all up as much as you can. There are so many nooks & crannies and little details. If you can, learn about the story of the garden as well and how it was built so that you can fully appreciate what an extraordinary place this is. I am so grateful that I got to go, and I hope to return again one day.

This place was on my bucket list and I'm not disappointed! Truly a magical place. A beautiful sculpture garden by the great artist Niki de Saint phalle. There was a entrance fee around 10β¬, they have student and people-over-65 discount. Many great sculptures in the garden which some of them you can enter, like the one Niki lived in when she build the park. There was a bit crowded with a lot of kids running around but if you're lucky you'll get some time of your own in the sculptures. By the exit they had a small shop you could by the niki-tarot, t-shirts, books, plates and so. No restaurants nearby but a small ice-cream shop on the parking lot.

A very surprising place! I did not expect any similar! I thought it was just another garden between thousands but it is not like this! It is instead a Wonderful place and well organized, with just a bar at the parking and a small souvenirs shop at the exit. If you are lucky, you could have a guide included on the price of the ticket, if you go to visit the "garden" on Friday afternoon. It would be so much funniest if you take a round through the "tarocchi sculpture" by your own before to have the explication of the guide! If you are in holiday or travelling around the south of tuscany, well, you must not loose it!

This was the second time I have visited the Tarot Gardens. It truly is one of Italy's hidden treasures. It's an open air museum (which opens at 14.30) and features the work of the artist, Niki de Saint Phalle. She was inspired by the work of Gaudi in Barcelona but this takes it one step further. It's an amazing place filled with beautifully tiled structures and sculptures. The house in which everything is covered in mirrored tiles is mind-blowing. It's a little off the beaten track but definitely worth making the effort.

A lovely art park, to think that the creator really lived there, in a "house" that to define as bizarre is absolutely an understatement. A beautiful experience, therefore, which I recommend anyone to do, young and old. The ticket price is not very popular (β¬14/full, β¬9/reduced) but it is still worth it because they really tidy up this little cute garden. Entry takes place at pre-established times, which can be selected exclusively when booking online when purchasing the ticket. Dogs of any size are allowed.
