Suggested itinerary
VILLA
ADRIANA, VILLA D’ESTE AND ITS FOUNTAINS
This tour allows you to visit and compare two very splendid villas from two different ages .
The Villa Adriana dating back to the ancient Roman Times and the Villa D’Este from the Renaissance
period.
Joining the motorway a 24 that follow the ancient Via Tiburtina after 30 Km east of
Rome,we will reach Tivoli. At the foot of the Tiburtini hills, source of the springs that supply the spa town of Bagni di Tivoli and which are dominated by vast quarries of travertine
marble, you will stop first to visit the ruins of Villa Adriana which can only hint at the grandeur and beauty of this Villa built by Emperor Hadrian to remind him of the monuments and sites he had admired during his travels around the roman empire.
We continue then to the Villa D’Este, with its frescos is one of the most beautiful residences of the Renaissance built by the cardinal Ippolito D’Este.
The Villa’s countless fountains, set in the heart of magnificent Italian style
gardens, create a delightfully graceful symphony of carved stone, shade, sunlight and water coming directly from the Aniene
river.
