To visit the area of the villa, which today covers almost 20 hectars, is truly like doing a trip around the greatest cities of antiquity, from the Nile delta to the agorà of Athens. Your guide will also tell you how, from the 15th century, this little corner of the world was in the sights of popes and sovereings who desired to carry off its riches.

Commissioned by Ippolito II d’Este, cardinal and governor of Tivoli, son of Alfonso I and the notorious Lucrezia Borgia, this villa is known above all for its magnificent gardens: get enchanted by the Hundred Fountains’ Avenue, by the stuccoes and mosaics of Diane’s Cave or by the secular trees adorning the “Rotonda dei Cipressi”.
