Villa della Regina is one of Turin's most graceful Savoy residences, set on the hillside rather than in the formal grid of the centre. Frescoed rooms, terraces, gardens, and views back across the city give it a different mood from the grander royal palaces downtown.
The climb or ride up is part of the experience, because the villa makes Turin feel suddenly more spacious. It is especially rewarding for visitors who like gardens, courtly interiors, and quieter historic sites.
