Great palace that I recommend to visit to see the richness of decoration. We particularly liked the park where it is possible to walk around.
A big thank to our guide Natalia who explained us the history of the castle. Our children were fascinated by its role during the war!
Really nice tour and really good service with a private driver who brought us back to our hotel.
I recommend!
