Dear guests, this excursion day tour, has been designed for those who wish to enjoy the Roman countryside while visiting two of the most beautiful Villas of the Unesco World’s Heritage.
A professional English speaking driver from our company will welcome you at your hotel or any other place of your convenience at 9am and drive you comfortably, with a Mercedes vehicle, to Tivoli. He just drives you to the Villas without entering but he can introduce some historical features of the two sites, helps you with tickets and advises a place for lunch.
The ancient Roman Tivoli was called "Tibur" and it was built on the lower slopes of the Sabine hills at the end of the valley of the Aniene river, which narrows at this point into a gorge and forms a spectacular cascades. The location was cool and pleasant and by the end of the 1st century b.C. numerous wealthy romans chose Tivoli as permanent residence or as summer resort: Cassius Sallustio, Maecenate, all had sumptuous villas in the town or nearby; Augustus and the poets Catullus, Propertius and Horace were frequent visitors. Trajan also favoured Tibur, but it reached its greatest fame when Hadrian, the Roman emperor, chose it as his residence and built his remarkable villa on the outskirts.

VILLA D’ESTE
The villa, well known as Tivoli Gardens, the nort-east wing of the Benedectine convent, had already been turned into the residence of the governor of Tivoli when the cultivated Cardinal Ippolito II d’Este, son of Lucrezia Borgia and Alfonso I d'Este, was elected governor of Tivoli. But despite the previous works, the villa was inadeguate to house such a price. So that Ippolito turned to the architect Pirro Ligorio to trasform the villa into a magic complex that would include water games, hanging gardens and sloping terraces.
For lunch you will have the chance to enjoy some typical local food in a pittoresque trattoria suggested by your driver. Then you will visit the majestic Hadrian’s villa.
