Tickets and FAI management

Villa Gregoriana is run by FAI (the Fondo Ambiente Italiano, Italy's National Trust) and is visited with an inexpensive ticket: a full-price rate and a reduced rate for the usual categories, while FAI members generally enter free (rates are indicative, so check the official FAI website). Since this is a nature park with steep changes in elevation, expect an active visit: plan on an hour and a half to two hours for the full loop.

Hours and seasonality

Villa Gregoriana usually follows seasonal opening hours: it's open during the milder months (typically spring, summer and autumn) and may close or shorten its hours in winter (hours are indicative, so check the official FAI website). Entry times shift with the season and the daylight, so always check before you leave Rome.
