The visit to Hadrian's Villa was beautiful because of the size and majesty of the site. Very few visitors despite the fact that we were on a vacation period. Very well maintained site. A real journey through time. The descriptions of the headout audio guide listened to at breaks in the walk were very comprehensive. Villa d'Este very beautiful. Again unfortunately very few visitors so the skip-the-line ticket was practically an extra here as well. We were expecting more working water features. Disappointment with the complete absence of water inside the villa where there are numerous fountains and spouts. Overall we had a great time visiting Villa Adriana and Villa d'Este also thanks to the directions in the headout app.

We arrived late in the day (4 pm) but there wasn't really a line. The digital audio download through the Headout app was great. We don't usually do those but this had good info and was so easy, even without internet connection because it had downloaded when we bought the ticket while on WiFi at our hotel. Garden was great, still so impressive even though some fountains don't work as well. Grotto of Diana was pretty - recently opened after being closed for 40 years and major renovation.

Apparently even if I had paid for it, I couldn't get the audio guide. I'm not sure if it's an elaborate scam by head out but I have no time to find out. App uninstalled. Ciao

The lines were moderate. We did not have to wait at all due to our advance ticket purchase. The gardens at the villa are beautiful it was a great day!
There's plenty to explore in Italy outside Rome, The Eternal City. One such example is Tivoli, an hour east of the capital. This hilltop town was once the summer retreat for ancient Romans and the Renaissance rich. Today it is known for its 16th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Villa d'Este. Exploring this lavish Renaissance retreat is simply a treat for the eyes. Expect landscaped gardens, lavish fountains, statues, and grottoes that will take your breath away.
Built for Ippolito d'Este, the 16th-century cardinal, and statesman, the Villa d'Este is awe-inspiring inside and out, and a much-copied model for European gardens. With your ticket, you can admire its impressive gardens, stroll along paths circled enveloped by statues, and listen to the tinkling of water from the fountains on its endless terraces. Inside the villa, see stunning wall-to-wall frescoes in lavish halls and rooms.
