Itineraries and activities for groups

Villa Reale di Marlia is an impressive destination for visitors of all ages, whether in small or larger groups. The Park extends over 16 hectares and is unique for its wide variety of gardens and architecture within its walls – gems are to be discovered around every corner, with constantly varying, breath taking views.

We have created tailor-made itineraries for groups visiting the park and museums for an unforgettable experience:

Treasure hunt for schools

The Park of Villa Reale in Marlia offers educational visits for primary and middle schools, covering built heritage and botany. 

A day trip including the traditional visit to the gardens, and also a fun treasure hunt – you can bring a packed lunch too.

  • Duration of the visit: around 3-4 hours
  • Who is it for: groups of children from 6 to 13 years old
  • Ticket price: €5 per child, free entry for teachers
  • Picnic: provided by the school

An example programme (which could be changed to suit your requirements) might be:

10am Arrival at the park. Distribute maps and any material necessary for the treasure hunt, dividing into groups.
10:15am The game starts! Guided by teachers, the children must find plants, following the clues they find around the park. During the hunt they will learn about the main characteristics, origins and features of the various trees.

11am End of the game – the treasure has been found! A small prize for all participants.
11:10am Break for a snack.
11:30am Free to discover the other parts of the park or of the museums.
1pm Return to school or have a picnic in the park (we recommend that you bring rugs).

Sensory route: a new way to experience history

One of the most original activities in the park of Villa Reale in Marlia is the experience of the sensory route – discovering the park through your sense of smell. The ‘scents and sensations’ trail at Villa Reale will transport you back in time with the power of plant perfume!

A unique visitor experience which traces Elisa’s passion for botany. Experiencing the scents of the past offers a direct link with the park and Villa’s history.

Born from an idea of Simonetta Giurlani Pardini with “Napoleone and Elisa: from Paris to Tuscany” Association, in the collaboration with Paolo Emilio Tomei, professor at the University of Pisa.
