Check out Villa d'Este, the ultimate glow-up story of the Renaissance! Built in the 1500s, this former monastery decided to ditch the monk life for something a little more fabulous. But what really steals the show? The gardens with 51 fountains, 364 water jets, 64 waterfalls, and 220 basins – all fed by an amazing network of canals and channels stretching 875 meters. Talk about high-maintenance beauty!
Hadrian dubbed it his "summer pad," but let's be real, it's more like his personal archeological playground. Sprawling across a whopping 120 hectares (that's like, a whole mini kingdom!), only 40 are open to us mere mortals today. From thermal baths to majestic temples, discover the opulence of ancient Rome at your own pace.
