Siamo stati per lo spettacolo delle luminarie prima di Natale ed è stato meraviglioso! Una serata perfetta. Tutto organizzato benissimo, con un percorso chiaro e ben segnalato. La Villa sempre bella era ancora più magica con ogni stanza decorata a festa e a tema. Una bellissima esperienza per tutta la famiglia!

Beautiful gardens. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk around the grounds and ended with a giant pretzel and 2 glasses of cider! Perfect day spent with my wife!

Orchids and other verdant denizens populate this delightful greenhouse. It's not spacious, but if you enjoy plants and colorful life in any capacity (since you're visiting Newfields, I assume you are), it's 100% worth the detour. Unlike some public gardens, it doesn't seek to achieve lusciousness and color by being overly ordered and sanitized - instead, there is an air of walk-ability that really does provide a "lived-in" sense, and it is all the more welcoming for it. I wonder what the estate grounds look like at night - does it flip towards an eerie Hounds of Baskerville? Or is it even more romantic than it is during the day? Either way, a stroll through it feels like a storybook. By comparison, the inside of the house was much more of a historical site - excellent primary experience of an era gone by in this country. Still very much worth seeing, with an audio tour and a much needed, air conditioned reprieve if you're visiting during the summer months.

Bliss escape from the main city area. A lovely experience here which is peaceful. The gardens are well maintained and nice pathways to have an enjoyable walk.

The property and greenhouse of this estate are beautiful. I recommend making sure you have time to see the greenhouse because it is jam packed with plants and tons of orchids. I have never seen this many orchids in my life. I believe the greenhouse itself is from the 1930s, so also cool just to see the building itself.

First and foremost, I highly recommend visiting the Lilly house during their holiday festivities. I have included photos from the Halloween events but the house is also used for Christmas activities. It’s clever, interesting, and well-worth the money. I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Lilly House and Gardens at Newfields, and it was truly an enchanting experience. The meticulously maintained gardens were a breathtaking sight, with an array of vibrant flowers and lush greenery that created a serene and picturesque atmosphere. Walking through the garden pathways felt like stepping into a tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Lilly House itself is a stunning historic gem, exuding elegance and charm. The carefully preserved interiors provide a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The knowledgeable staff added to the experience, offering insightful information about the house and its former residents, creating a deeper connection to the space. What truly stood out to me was the seamless blend of art, nature, and history that the Lilly House and Gardens offer. It's a perfect destination for art enthusiasts, history buffs, and nature lovers alike. Whether you're exploring the beautifully curated art collections within the house or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll through the gardens, the Lilly House and Gardens at Newfields is a must-visit destination that leaves a lasting impression of beauty and tranquility.
