Tivoli and Its Magnificent Villas
Let's Start Living The Italian Dream
Tivoli’s timeless charm: from Hadrian’s Villa to Villa d’Este
Tivoli, located on the Aniene River to the east of Rome in the Monti Tiburtini hills, offers a refreshing climate that has attracted nobles and aristocrats since ancient times. This charming town is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites that highlight its rich history.
One of the most significant landmarks is Emperor Hadrian’s Villa, a vast open-air museum that showcases the finest architecture of the Roman world. Built as a private summer retreat, the villa includes lakes, fountains, temples, baths, gardens, and libraries, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Rome.
Later, in the 17th century, Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este built the stunning Villa d’Este, a masterpiece of Renaissance gardens. Villa d’Este features terraced hillsides adorned with beautiful fountains and meticulously maintained gardens. The peaceful ambiance of the gardens makes it the perfect place for a relaxing walk, where visitors can enjoy the soothing sounds of cascading water and birdsong.
