Just went here with a family member from out of town and was very impressed. Just the drive there on Pacific Coast Highway is gorgeous. The villa is beautiful with gardens overlooking the ocean and great tours!

I was surprised by all those beautiful Greek sculptures and arts. My favorite room exhibited ancient jeweleries, like rings, pedants, necklaces and amulets. The style of some of them is still very popular, for instance charm bracelets, lavishly decorated rings and bangles. I also loved the sculptures of ancient Greek goddesses and gods from the Greek mythology. Those who are not into ancient Greek arts and sculptures can saunter through the beautifully arranged gardens, fancy fountains and the gorgeous Greek-style atria which maintain a romantic vibe.

Pros: The whole setting is stunning

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The renovations at the Getty Villa are astounding...the Villa itself is magnificent, and the grounds look to have been lovingly crafted by artisans. The Villa Cafe has maybe the best lasagna I've ever had!

Pros: It's Free! It's beautiful!

Cons: PCH can be a nightmare in this area.

Truly a Terrificly unique experience from antiquities to modern architecture and lavish Garden, Roman pool. an Enchanting escape out of the cityscene just minutes away. The Cafe there dishes up amazingly reasonable italian fare, desserts are good too. Great Family event Tickets are easier to get on the phone then through website.

Pros: Parking is easy, Great volunteer group, Ambience is super
