ACCESSIBLE ROME: VILLAS AND PALACES



Villa Borghese

The first floor of the museum is accessible through a rear entrance facing the gardens. There is one moderate height stair. An attendant-operated stair-climbing device is available to take slow walkers and people who have difficulty climbing stairs to the second floor, but it can’t accommodate wheelchairs. Bernini’s stunning sculptures, Canova’s sensual yet refined Pauline Bonaparte and many other masterpieces are on the first floor, so a visit is a must even though the second floor is inaccessible.
