Villa d’Este, masterpiece of the Italian Garden, is included in the UNESCO world heritage list. With its impressive concentration of fountains, nymphs, grottoes, plays of water, and music, it constitutes a much-copied model for European gardens in the mannerist and baroque styles.
The garden is generally considered within the larger –and altogether extraordinary-- context of Tivoli itself: its landscape, art and history which includes the important ruins of ancient villas such as the Villa Adriana, as well as a zone rich in caves and waterfalls displaying the unending battle between water and stone. The imposing constructions and the series of terraces above terraces bring to mind the hanging gardens of Babylon, one of the wonders of the ancient world. The addition of water-- including an aqueduct tunneling beneath the city -- evokes the engineering skill of the Romans themselves.
The price can change based on some exhibitions that sometimes are inside of the Villa, and so the ticket will be a little bit more expensive and not divisible.
My name is Massimo, i was born in Rome, but i grew up in Sicily, then i went back to Rome for job. I love traveling, and i love doing it as a traveler not as a tourist. One of my favourite quote is: world is like a book, if you stay home you read only the introduction! In my spare time i love making sports, especially extreme sports like diving, rafting, mountain biking, or simply go to the beach or making a weekend outdoor excursion. I listen to rock music, hard rock, metal, also country and a bit of jazz, i enjoy clubs and pubs with live music for a nice beer with friends. I don't smoke, i don't use any kind of drugs. Once i discovered this website i decided to become an insider because i have already done it since 2007 with another website, which now unfortunately is getting really down. I want to show travelers that Rome has not only Colosseum or Trevi's fountain, but you will be surprise by the million things the eternal city can offer. I have already published 4 samples of experiences, and i will publish more, in which you can live the city (and the whole area) as you wish, depending on what you're interested in.
