Tip from tour guide
Villa d'Este provides the perfect escape from the bustling streets of Rome without requiring an extensive journey. Situated just an hour outside the city, this 16th-century villa is recognized for its palace and gardens. It was among the first to earn the title of "giardini delle meraviglia" (gardens of wonder), serving as a model for subsequent European gardens. Villa d'Este stands as a captivating and extensive representation of Renaissance culture at its pinnacle in Italy. Don't miss the opportunity to relax by the charming pond or fountain and explore the delightful wall paintings during your visit.

Tip from tour guide
Villa Gregoriana boasts waterfalls, grottos, and ancient Roman ruins, charming historians, artists, and writers. It was laid out on the bed of the Aniene River at the foot of Tivoli’s acropolis after it was commissioned by Pope Gregory XVI in 1835. Its goal is to protect the residential area of Tivoli from the floods of the Aniene. Highlights include a waterfall more than 100 meters tall (the second largest in all of Italy), which descends into the Valle dell’inferno (valley of hell), the caves of Neptune and the Sirens, and the Roman ruins of the Villa di Manlio Volpiscoz.
