What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Torre di Chia for its beautiful natural setting, including the refreshing waterfalls and scenic coastal views. The historical connection to Pier Paolo Pasolini adds a unique cultural dimension. However, the limited access to the tower itself and the need for advance booking can be a drawback for some.
"Simply Marvelous."

"A beautiful location nestled in the Chia del Fosso Castello waterfall park. Visits to Pasolini's Tower/House must be booked in advance and are available once a month (it's a private residence)."
Emanuele Picotti
"Easy to get to. There's ample parking at the entrance. At the ticket office, a very kind man explained to us in a few words that there are two short routes (about 2 km): one, the shorter one, goes to the tower that P.P. Pasolini purchased and which, now owned by his heirs and therefore private, can only be visited by telephone with the association that manages the area. The other route leads to the waterfalls and the ruins of the mills (all in the shade, making it pleasant to visit on a hot day). He advised us, since it was the hottest part of the day, to see the waterfalls first and then take the other route, which is in the sun. There are also tables (in the sun) with benches for resting and having a bite to eat.
There's a chemical toilet at the entrance, and the ticket includes a small discount for other sites."
