Tivoli is a little hill town located East of Rome, on such a lovely spot that both exotic emperor Adrian and the powerful Cardinal Ippolito d’Este, son of Lucretia Borgia, built there their beloved countryside villas: our daytrip takes you - within the same day - to discover both of them..
Villa of Adrian is a famous archeological site where artificial creations like a lake, a private island, a network of tunnels and ambitious buildings covered with domes make us understand how elaborate and vast an imperial house could be.
Villa D’Este instead, focus on the water: its garden counts hundreds of fountains, sculpted in all sorts of animals and shapes, from enormous grottos to a real waterfall. It’s the triumph of Italian gardening from Renaissance.
