Itinerary
- The first highlight of your trip will take you all the way back to the 16th century, as the initial destination is Villa d’Este in Tivoli. One of the most beautiful villas of the late Renaissance period, it is now an official Unesco World Heritage Site in Italy. Walk around the grounds and gardens of the charming Villa, with its vastness of greenery and abundance of fountains. Villa d’Este exudes a unique captivating aura, as despite being in ruins for hundreds of years it is still one of the most beautiful places you will visit in Italy.
- Hadrian’s estate is as vast as it is splendid, and you can enjoy the stunning views of the water and towering structures. The villa belonged to its namesake, Emperor Hadrian, the 2nd-century ruler who had the place built as a summer residence. Emperor Hadrian loved this place to the extent that he declared it his official residence—and during his later years ruled the empire from here. You will also explore the archaeological ruins of the temples, theaters, thermal baths, and statutes in the complex.
- See the beautiful countryside of Rome while your guide drives you around.
