Sasha was our guide and she was amazing. She took her time to explain everything and make it fun. I would highly recommend Sasha for anyone who really wants to get inside and understand the details.

It was so informative that after our tour with Sasha my grandson (17) Asked Paul if he could walk through and look at everything again because it was so interesting and he wanted to know more about what he was seeing!

The Villa was gorgeous, as expected. Sasha, our guide, was great and helped us to understand all that went into the making of the Villa. She also let us in on a few "secrets" about the villa that were kinda cool. Highly recommend!
