Tivoli, an ancient resort area famous for its beauty and thermal waters, boasts numerous Roman villas, including the famous Villa Adriana, whose ruins still stand. Located just a few kilometers from Rome, Tivoli is set in a natural environment between the Eternal City and the eastern hills of Rome. Since ancient times, this town has been favored for its exceptional climate and strategic location.
Villa Adriana, dating back to the Roman Empire in the 2nd century AD and designed by Emperor Hadrian, blends various architectural styles from Egypt, Rome, and Athens, creating an "ideal city." Covering over 120 hectares, this imperial residence for over 50 years is a must-visit.

This villa is a masterpiece of Italian gardens, adorned with numerous fountain nymphs, grottoes, and courtyards inspired by the gardens of Babylon, one of the wonders of the ancient world. Villa d'Este, desired by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este and enhanced by his successors with the collaboration of renowned artists like Gianlorenzo Bernini, is an experience not to be missed.
