Chasse au trésor du lundi de Pâques 2026
Clues scattered throughout the park and a treasure to find: the new edition of the botanical treasure hunt for Easter Monday.
On Monday, April 6th Villa Reale di Marlia opens its doors to a new edition of the Easter Monday Botanical Treasure Hunt, an initiative conceived over thirty years ago by the network Grandi Giardini Italiani.
An open air activity to enjoy nature, exploring the 16 hectares of park and its precious plant heritage: a new itinerary to follow on the map to identify hidden clues in the garden. All efforts will be rewarded by the trunk full of prizes.
You can’t talk about Easter Monday without a picnic! Our gardens will be available for a snack or a lunch to end a day in the nature in the best way!
