Thanks to Lord Charlemont (aka Paul) for fantastic themed tour of Casino, Marino last Thursday for Heritage Week. It was a great way to see a little bit of Italian-style architecture, with its own bits of quirkiness, right in the middle of Dublin. Who knew such a small-looking building could hold so much? And pineapples galore! I'll be making another short bus trip for a longer tour to enjoy it all agani. Shout out to the harpist too - great musical accompaniment. Thanks again all.

A lovely gem of a property. As with all OPW properties, The Casino Marino has been beautifully restored. The plasterwork is incredible and full of various motifs. Our excellent guide Paul brought the whole property to life, with interesting explanations of the fabulous architecture and the lives of the people who would have visited. Highly recommend.

The tour of Casino Marino was well worth it. Lots of history and our tour guide Paul was very informative. The other staff members were very friendly. The building was amazing and had so much detail. I learned so much on this tour including that the underground tunnel was used as a practice shooting place for Michael Collins. You could see bullet holes in the wall from the shooting practice. From the outside looking at the building you wouldn't know that the building contained 16 rooms. I would recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in the history around Dublin.
