Lonely Planet review

Enjoying one of the best addresses in Rome, Villa Medici has been home to the French Academy since 1801. It was originally built for Cardinal Ricci da Montepulciano in 1540, but Ferdinando dei Medici bought it in 1576 and it remained in Medici hands until Napoleon acquired it and gave it to the French Academy. The only way to get inside is to visit one of the regular art exhibitions held here. You can, however, visit the gardens at the weekend.
