From the Italy World / Places

Villa d’Este

At Tivoli, Villa d'Este pairs frescoed rooms with an elaborate hillside water garden; the outdoor terraces deserve most of the visit.

Villa d’Este

Why go

The fountains turn water into architecture, from long aligned pools to smaller surprises along stepped paths. Begin indoors for the villa's painted rooms, then follow the garden downhill. This is a separate Renaissance estate outside Rome, with a different character from Hadrian's nearby ancient villa.

What to look for

  • Terraced water garden.
  • Fountains and cascades.

Useful to know

  • Check current garden access and allow for stairs and sloping paths.
