Your Tour in Italy by Aldo Monti – Rome tours, shore excursions & day trip

Tivoli and its Villas
(9am-5pm)

SHORE EXCURSIONS DESCRIPTION:

Our driver will pick you up directly at the lobby of your hotel, ready to take you for a nice and relaxing tour of the Roman Countryside and Tivoli.

We will visit the charming hill town of Tivoli, less than an hour driving from the hustle and bustle of Rome. Wander around Villa Adriana, a huge complex designed to house and entertain the emperor and his entourage.

Tour Tivoli’s historical center, before heading to Villa d’Este, renowned for its spectacular gardens and elaborate fountains. Tivoli seems to be a natural wonder with its sweeping Italian views, elaborately engineered fountains, and its two ancient villas. You’ll visit Hadrian’s Villa, designed and built by a 2nd-century, globe-trotting emperor.

Continue to Villa d’Este, a sumptuous Renaissance residence built for the local cardina, Lucretia Borgia’s son, and designed to impress his guests.

Wander through the gardens, among the extravaganza of trees and fountains, and admire breathtaking views over the plain towards the Eternal City.

Of course, we are entirely flexible – if there is a special place that you want to see, just let us know!

Comfortable walking shoes recommended.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Hadrians Villa

The villa was constructed at Tibur (modern-day Tivoli) as a retreat from Rome for Roman Emperor Hadrian during the second and third decades of the 2nd century AD. Hadrian was said to dislike the palace on the Palatine Hill in Rome, leading to the construction of the retreat.

Villa D'Este

The villa itself is surrounded on three sides by a sixteenth-century courtyard sited on the former Benedictine cloister. The fountain on a side wall, framed within a Doric, contains a sculpture of a sleeping nymph in a grotto guarded by d'Este heraldic eagles, with a bas-relief framed in apple boughs that links the villa to the Garden of the Hesperides.
