Be it in ancient or modern times, when Rome gets too stifling for even the Romans they make a beeline to Tivoli, tucked away in the rolling hills of Italy. Tivoli boasts an impressive resume that not many other small hill towns can match–it is home to not one, but two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Hadrian’s Villa and the Villa D’Este.
In the 2nd century AD, the Roman Emperor Hadrian constructed a luxurious villa, drawn from his very own designs. In 1550, Cardinal Ippolito D’Este gave a dilapidated monastery a face-lift, turning it into the villa of his dreams that glistens from the 1000 fountains that adorn the hillside gardens. Though over 1300 years of history separate these sites, you will feel like you have time-traveled over the course of one single spectacular day. Our words can only capture a fraction of the beauty that is Tivoli, so check out our photos.
Hadrian may have labeled it his "summer getaway," but let's face it, it's practically his own archaeological wonderland. Spanning an impressive 120 hectares (which is basically its own mini kingdom!), the villa is filled with thermal baths to magnificent temples. Explore the lavishness of ancient Rome at your leisure.
Monastery turned mansion, the Villa d'Este, constructed in the mid-1500s now a Unesco world heritage site, stands as a pinnacle of Renaissance opulence. What truly captivates scholars and tourists alike are its famous gardens, which boast an astonishing array of over 1000 fountains—all nourished by an intricate network of 875 meters of canals, channels, and cascades.
