Tivoli Day Trip: Villa d'Este & Hadrian's Villa
- Both UNESCO villas in one day
- Air-conditioned minivan, 16 travellers maximum
- Free time for lunch in Tivoli
An hour east of Rome, two very different visions of luxury sit within a short drive of each other. Hadrian's Villa is an emperor's private city of pools, baths and colonnades spread over open countryside; Villa d'Este answers it a thousand years later with terraced gardens and hundreds of fountains powered entirely by gravity. Travel is by air-conditioned minivan with a guide, and lunch is free time in Tivoli's old town.
