Parco Villa Gregoriana

The park, located at the feet of the city's ancient acropolis was commissioned by Pope Gregory XVI in 1835 to rebuild the bed of the Aniene River, which had been damaged by the flood of 1826. Since ancient times, the river formed a wide curve around the acropolis, after which it fell from a limestone's spur into the plain below. The river formed originally four falls, now reduced to two. The site had a strategical importance since it commanded the transumanza path from Abruzzo along the path which later become the Via Valeria. The Romans had already built here hydraulic manufacts, 12 of which are known by findings today. It had fallen into ruins by the end of the 20th century, but was reopened to the public in 2005 thanks to a major landscape recovery project orchestrated by the FAI, the Italian National Trust.

Admission Not Included

Villa d'Este

Villa d'Este is one of the symbols of the Italian Renaissance and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Situated in Tivoli, near Rome, the villa is a gem of architectural and landscape splendor. The extraordinary complex is famous all over the world for its splendid fountains characterized by wonderful and suggestive water displays and for being the most beautiful example of the Italian Renaissance garden in Europe.

Admission Not Included

Villa Adriana

Hadrian's Villa (Villa Adriana) in Tivoli bears witness to the grandeur of the Roman Empire. It is one of the best kept and most visited archaeological sites in Italy. This is why it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. The villa was built by Roman Emperor Hadrian at the foot of the Tiburtine Hills between 118 and 138 AD. The vast residential complex extended over an area of about 120 hectares (about 300 acres) and looked very much like an ancient Roman city. The site included buildings, baths, temples, barracks, theatres, gardens, fountains and nymphaeums. The villa itself was designed on two levels: the upper floor, quiet and welcoming, was reserved for the emperor's official use, while the lower floor was noisy and bustled with the work of slaves.

While our driver guide, Fredericko, was efficient, kind & professional and took us to a fabulous restaurant to “relax and enjoy and take your time”, he forgot to mention the additional hour would be an additional fee. But, it turned into a rainy experience and he did bring us all umbrellas while we dined. The actual Villa site would not be one we would probably do again. The grounds & ruins were not what was expected at all. While we could appreciate the age of the ruins and the thoughts and ingenuity of the times, there should be some restorations for the people of now to relate to. Not actually having a guide, which I’m not sure would have made a difference as there were none available, we rented the “headsets”, but they only worked less than half the time, so just read the signs for information.
