The town of Tivoli is just 30 km far from Rome and easily reachable by bus or train for the price of a Cappuccino. You’ll be amazed of so much beauty concentrated in a small town: the natural park of Villa Gregoriana, the Renaissance style Villa d’Este with its garden, and the ruins of the rural retreat of the Emperor Adriano, Villa Adriana. Tivoli is also famous for its thermal baths: the smell of its sulfurous water is so strong that sometimes it’s perceivable even from Rome.
Villa d’Este was build during the 16th century for the famous and wealthy family of “Este” and its mansion and gardens are part of the UNESCO world heritage list.
The garden will make you drop your jaws: it is decorated with a series of allegorical fountains, cascades and pools, with up to 100 water sprays in the same tank. The big amount of water required is naturally supplied by the river “Aniene” without the use of any mechanical pump. The garden is built over a slope, thanks to the use of several terraces, overlooking the city of Rome.
