We took public transportation to Tivoli so we could spend as much time here and at the nearby Hadrian's Villa. Of the two, my husband liked this one the most. Terraced gardens and waterfalls (fantastic, huge, suprising), on a hillside that requires some up and down on steps. They are manageable and worth the extra walking. Entrance fee was modest. More

If you go by train from Roma Tiburtina, buy your return ticket for the train in Rome. The machine in Ravenna did not work, and no one was selling tickets. If you get off the bus on the way to Tivoli to see Villa Adriana, buy the ticket for the ride up the hill in Rome also. i stopped at... More

If you are looking for a great day trip out of Rome, this is it. A very easy location to get to off the Metro B. You do not need a tour or guide! Wish we had more time as just sitting out in the gardens amongst the fountains can take up hours. We took so many pictures of the... More

We had to ask several times how to get into the gardens, which is what most people go there for. When we tried to find the way out it was equally baffling. We found 2 'Uscita' notices carved into stone... More

The place includes the villa with its frescos which are a small attraction compared to the gardens. The outdoors gardens include more than 500 water sprinklers, which allows a beautiful scenary for photoshots of water fountains and statues. However, the most you can spend in the place would be about 2 hours. In my opinion calling this place a world... More

We had a beautiful day which showed Villa d'este at its best. Amazing history and views. Our tour guide (hired separately before arriving) truly made this visit very special and I would recommend you having a guide or at least an audio tour to fully appreciate the detail of what you see here. More
