I visited the museum on the second day of my stay in the city. The price was good (only a couple euros) and it was definitely worth it. The gardens were beautiful and quite relaxing. The house itself can only be visited as part of a “tour”, as in you’ll be in a group with a guide, who’ll open each room after everybody will be done with the one being currently visited.

The visit begins with a view of the gardens and then you can walk through the palace but with a guide. Panels in English are in each room. The rooms are furnished so they give you a good idea of how the rich lived in the 1700’s. Interesting about the role of aristocratic women.
