Your Rome hotel
Free cancellation, 24h
Forty minutes east of Rome, two villas fourteen centuries apart: an emperor’s private city of pools and colonnades, and a cardinal’s garden where the water runs downhill through hundreds of fountains.
The day
Both villas are UNESCO World Heritage sites, and both are best seen early or late, when the light is low.
Start
Your hotel in Rome
Collected from the door at 07:00 or 13:00, whichever you booked.
+1h
Tivoli
The old town on its hill, with a view back across the plain to Rome.
+1h30
Villa d’Este
A Renaissance garden built for Cardinal Ippolito d’Este, terraced down the hillside — the Avenue of the Hundred Fountains, the Organ Fountain, and water everywhere you look.
Entrance not included
+3h45
Hadrian’s Villa
Built by the emperor Hadrian in the second century: baths, libraries, a theatre, and the Canopus, a long pool lined with statues. It covers more ground than Pompeii.
Entrance not included
+6h
Back in Rome
At your hotel, or wherever you'd rather be dropped.
