We really enjoyed the garden and the many fountains. We're glad we planned this day on our own (train + bus) rather than via an agency. This way, we were able to enjoy the day more cheaply and with no time limit.

The gardens were magnificent with the many water falls, fountains and pools. Also the playing of the water powered organ is a must see! No problems with getting tickets!

Tivoli's Villa D'Este was just amazing! My daughter and I decided to go to Tivoli the evening before we went. I was looking for something outside of Rome (but not too far) that would not cost too much or require a tour guide. This fit those requirements and so much more. Tivoli itself is a beautiful town surrounded by hills and greenery. The inside of the Villa D'Este was beautiful with rich history (that we only partly took in by reading the signage). If I were to do it again, I would have done the audio tour. The outside, however, was simply amazing! The fountains, sculptures, and overall design just kept surprising me in the best ways. It was delightful! I would highly recommend going to Tivoli and the Villa D'Este if you are visiting Rome!

Your Experience

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.
