This villa is located in the Bogcai Garden, which is more like an entertainment park with many entertainment projects. The villa is well preserved and has a good view from its small hillside.
This place is actually a large garden, and the villa is another name for it. The buildings and gardens inside are actually closer to a more modern style. Compared with other very classical Roman buildings, this place seems a bit more relaxed.

If you are visiting Genoa by boat, this is a great place to visit especially with kids. The aquarium is only a 10-15 minute walk from the port so no transport is needed. The third child is free so big families can get tickets too. The visit takes about 2-3 hours and it is best to check if there is a dolphin show before you go as I didn't catch one the day I went.
Run out onto the pier and mostly Mediterranean animals and fish. It's a single path access that takes you through the whole place which was nice. Only complaint was the forced photo op at the start - very pushy/can't say no easily and it was very hot in parts.

The Old Port is a lively port on the Ligurian Sea coast, with attractions such as an outdoor live music venue, a film museum and a covered seasonal ice-skating rink. The area around the port is full of waterfront shops, casual bars and restaurants, and is also home to Genoa's large aquarium and the domed floating Biosfera Zoo. There is also a marina, ferry terminal and a replica of a 17th-century Spanish galleon.
Genoa is a port city with a water area of 2.3 million square meters and two breakwaters. The old port has now become a pier mainly for yachts, and there is also an eye-catching pirate ship.

The safari park is very good, very good, full of praise, and it is great that the security measures here are really good.
If you take your children, you can go and see it, the scenery is beautiful. But if only adults, don't go.
