TIVOLI - VILLA ADRIANA

From Roma or Civitavecchia 4 - 8 hours tour

 Right outside Rome, Tivoli, the ancient Tibur, was already a favourite holiday resort for the Romans as well as a place for the worship of local divinities. It is now the site of the Villa Gregoriana, a fine Cathedral and, above all, the Villa d'Este, with an Italian garden deservedly famous for its magic atmosphere. Tivoli is located on a low mountain and it is an ideal stay to be in the country, not too far from the eternal city.

VILLA D'ESTE

The Italian gardens, with their geometric compartmentalisation, the five hundred fountains, the age and rarity of the trees, is certainly one of the finest gardens to be found both in and outside Italy.

VILLA ADRIANA

The Villa Adriana is a masterpiece that uniquely brings together the highest expressions of the material cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world.

Villa Adriana, an exceptional complex of classical buildings created in the 2nd century AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, reproduces the best elements of the material cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome in the form of an "ideal city."
