Tivoli

Villa d'Este & Villa Adriana

Two UNESCO sites of fountains and imperial residences.

Tivoli is a hillside town east of Rome that safeguards two extraordinary UNESCO sites: Villa d'Este, with its Renaissance gardens and famous fountains, and Villa Adriana, the vast imperial residence of Hadrian. Add Villa Gregoriana, with waterfalls and spectacular natural views, for a full day immersed in water, art, and landscape. It lies about 30 km from the capital and is the perfect destination for a private-transfer day trip.
