It was an incredible experience on every level, and much less crowded than any other place in Rome. It's great to be able to visit a place like this without being caught in a flood of visitors. Big downside... transportation to get there is not easy, and shuttle bus directions are completely lacking. There's an urgent need for action here.

We took a taxi to and from Villa D'Este. Convenience won. The gardens and fountains are what we came to see and they did not disappoint. They are lovely and unique and completely worth the trip. Lots of shade on a hot day. Wonderful to be able to just stop for a drink of icy cold water at the fountains. A spectacular sight.

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.
