Lovely place, a hidden gem of Rome. You should definitely visit it if you're looking for an oasis within the city.

Nice place to visit on a sunny day. Lots of shadow from big trees. Many different plants and trees. The garden needs someone to clean up and make it nicer. Many tired and half-dead plants. Be aware of the cannon near by: shoots at 12 o'clock at noon , so you will not get chocked.

This was a great pit stop on our Roman journey. It was nice to wander at our own pace, see the flora and fauna of the region and even pet some nice cats. The highlight of this for my wife and I was the medicinal garden area which contained a ton of plants which either contained medicines or have been used as medicine themselves! I strongly suggest this stop as a break from visiting ruins and ancient buildings.

The grounds and the flora were interesting and well signed and we had a nice hour or so once we got in. It was annoying to have to wait for the ticket office clerk to finish her phone call before we were dealt with - a smile would not have hurt

Those who ask for 'improvements' are misguided, I think - this is not supposed to be a manicured garden but a botanical resource laid out for Romans to enjoy. I loved the way the plants and trees are allowed to reflect the seasons, produce their own mulch, fall into their natural form and sit surrounded by wildflowers and grasses - best modern practice, with very little watering. The positioning of the trees is immensely skillful, the hard landscaping is beautifully integrated, and the labelling discreet and informative. The Simples Garden is a delight. I imagine that it's at its 'best' in April and May - this is the Mediterranean, after all - but I loved it in high summer, too.

What a wonderful botanical garden this was! It climbs up the hill, with lots of lovely terraces, little waterfalls and benches to sit to take in the amazing view of Rome on the opposite side of the Tiber. There's a lot to see in Trastevere, but don't miss out on this. Beware that there is an entrance fee, though. But it's well worth it. One of the highlights of our stay in Rome.

The staff here kindly organised a tour for us (min 10 people, €12p.p. for groups of less than 20 and €6 a head for larger groups) which lasted 1.5hrs and was extremely interesting. Giulia, our guide, was a student from the university that manages the gardens, and she gave us just the right amount of information. The only negative point was that it was hard for everyone to hear so headsets would have been good.
We didn't cover everything and I'll definitely go back to see the parts we missed.response / report this review -

Huge garden with any type o plant of the world. Relaxing and beautiful, most of all in spring. I went in winter, but i think in spring it's more beautiful. On the top, you can see all Rome's landscape. Suggested

Stunning place to take a walk among huge variety of plants and one of the few authentic japanese gardens in Italy. Great for nature lovers and professional botanists.

Gorgeous garden! Although there still needs some maintenance work to be done. I loved the Japanese garden and cactus the most.

Most recent reviews tell the story. This may have once been a nice place but it is now in disrepair. The 8 euro entrance fee should be going towards maintenance. The woman who sold me the tickets asked for one euro for herself?? Did she want a tip? Don't waste your time or money until major improvements have been made.

This is a more unusual attraction for tourists it seems, but one I really recommend going to. We spent the whole day here, very peaceful and lots of variety. Gardens are very well maintained and there's lots to explore and relax in. I reccomend the Japanese gardens and the greenhouse in the bottom right hand corner of the map.
