Get ready for a day of pure enchantment, where history, luxury, and breathtaking beauty come together in the serene hill town of Tivoli—just outside the bustling streets of Rome. Picture yourself leaving behind the city's fast pace and stepping into a world of majestic villas, cascading fountains, and timeless elegance. From the grandeur of the ancient Roman Empire to the splendor of the Renaissance, this journey is nothing short of spectacular.
Your adventure begins at Villa Hadrian, the lavish 2nd-century retreat of Emperor Hadrian himself. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a masterpiece of Roman engineering, where over 30 magnificent structures once formed one of the most extravagant estates in the empire.
With every step, you’ll immerse yourself in the opulence of Ancient Rome, discovering the secrets behind this extraordinary retreat while surrounded by breathtaking ruins that whisper stories of the past.
From ancient Rome, your journey sweeps you into the heart of the Renaissance, where you’ll explore the jaw-dropping beauty of Villa d’Este—a place where art, water, and nature create one of the most stunning villa gardens in the world. Originally a Benedictine convent, this estate was transformed into a luxurious masterpiece by Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este, the son of the infamous Lucrezia Borgia.
The entire estate feels like a dream brought to life, where every corner offers a new surprise, every fountain tells a story, and every pathway invites you to slow down and soak in the magic.
After a morning of awe-inspiring exploration, it's time to indulge in a meal as unforgettable as the sights. You'll head to Ristorante La Sibilla, a historic culinary gem dating back to 1730, nestled beside the ancient Temple of Vesta and the Sanctuary of the Sybil.
As you make your way back to Rome, you’ll carry with you the memories of a day unlike any other—a journey through the grandeur of Ancient Rome, the elegance of the Renaissance, and the sheer beauty of Italy’s countryside. From the imperial splendor of Villa Hadrian to the water wonderland of Villa d’Este, this is an experience that lingers long after you leave Tivoli!
