Itinerary

1. 1

   Tivoli

   30min

   Depart at 8:00 AM from your accommodation in Rome aboard a luxury vehicle with a professional English- and Spanish-speaking chauffeur, heading to the charming hillside town of Tivoli, ancient Tibur, whose origins predate Rome itself. Discover a destination shaped by millennia of history, including the remarkable Sanctuary of Hercules Victor and the refined elegance that made Tivoli a retreat for emperors and aristocrats. Visit the magnificent Villa d’Este, celebrated for its artistic gardens and spectacular fountains, and admire the lush landscapes surrounding the town, including the scenic beauty of Villa Gregoriana. Time is available to enjoy lunch at a historic local restaurant (not included) before your relaxing return to Rome.

2. 2

   Villa d'Este

   2h

   Built in the 16th century during the Renaissance, Villa d’Este is a masterpiece of the Italian garden and one of Tivoli’s most extraordinary artistic treasures. Its vast terraces, elegant fountains, grottoes, nymphaea, and enchanting hydraulic water features create a spectacular harmony between nature, art, and architecture. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs, caves, and waterfalls, the setting evokes the wonder of the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon, while the sophisticated water system—fed by aqueducts and underground tunnels—reflects the brilliance of ancient Roman engineering. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Villa d’Este offers visitors an unforgettable journey through Renaissance beauty and timeless landscape design. Please note: the villa is closed on Monday mornings and opens at 2:00 PM.
